One can take the PTE test 12 times within a 12 month window. However, you may be granted permission to take some extra attempts if the reason for your retake aligns with the retake policy of the PTE exam. 

Note: Candidates must not use new IDs to get benefitted with extra number of attempts as this may lead to the delay in results and may put one in breach of exam's malpractice policy.
