        It’s not super-clear, since the July exams are a one-off case.

        The CFA Institute official policy defines the retake cut-off to be ‘6 months’ rather than ‘not adjacent’:

        Our policy is that there must be a minimum of six months between exams; this allows candidates 6-9 months between testing windows.

        However you’re saying you can register for July while logged into your CFA Institute account?

        Let me also check with CFA Institute and see if they have any comment on this.

          Thanks – yes and I know people who have paid for it and scheduled tests. Mark Meldrum also released a video saying it’s possible.

            Awaiting confirmation from CFA Institute which would probably come next week, but given others have done so and that CFA Institute’s online system allow it and Mark Meldrum’s chipped in to say it’s possible, I’d say go for it.

            If you’re not competing for test center places you can wait until the deadline in case CFA Institute comes back and says otherwise, but if they’re going fast I’d go ahead and schedule an exam.

              I’m in this boat too. Am scheduling for July.
