The PPL theoretical examination covers all 9 subjects in one day. For organizational reasons it is not possible to spread the subjects over several days. The applicant will have to repeat the entire examination if he or she has not passed all the subjects in the four attempts or within the 18-month period.
The examination is deemed to have been passed if the applicant completes all the examination items within 18 months, calculated from the end of the calendar month in which the applicant first took the examination. A passed theoretical examination is accepted for the issuance of a PPL(A) for a period of 24 months from the date of passing.

CPL(A)/(H)
A CPL/IR/CB-IR/ATPL theory test may be taken in more than one session, but not more than six sessions. The entire examination, including any subsequent examinations, must be successfully completed within the six sessions referred to above. A session is ten consecutive calendar days. It is not possible to repeat an examination paper within these ten days, otherwise a new session will start from the time of the repeat.
The examination is considered passed if the candidate completes all parts of the examination within 18 months, calculated from the end of the calendar month in which the candidate first took the examination. An applicant must repeat the entire examination as if it were a first attempt if he has failed an individual examination paper in four attempts or if he has not passed all examination papers in six sessions or within the aforementioned 18 months. Before retaking the examination, the applicant shall undergo further training to be determined by the appropriate Aviation Training Organisation (ATO) in accordance with aviation safety requirements.
