I have some questions regarding the event of failing the exam.

1 )
In the process of applying to PMP exam, I subit my application, they took 5 days to approve it and then I had to make a paiment. Once the paiment was done there is a possibility that I am audited.

So the Audit process is after the paiment.

If I fail the exam, as I will have to do another paiment, is there still a chance to be audited at this point again ?

2 )
Is it correct to say that, if I failed the exam 3 times, I cannot attend the exam for a year ?
