Re-applying and Retaking the Solve

Hi Everyone, I'm applying to reapply this year to my Local office and neighboring offices. I remember taking the Solve around November 16th or 17th of 2025, and today puts me at roughly 347-348 days into the reapplication period for the Solve, so my question is: can I retake the Solve? I panicked the last time I solved it and ended up speed-running it. I have more practice this time, and I want to reapply. Also, it took me a bit longer to complete the solve because it took an extra 5 days to receive my requested accommodations.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hi, a few points worth considering:

  • Solve results are generally valid for around 12 months, although the exact retake policy may vary by office.
  • Applying to different offices doesn't necessarily reset your eligibility, as your previous results may still be on record.
  • I'd recommend checking directly with your recruiter, especially given how close you are to the 12-month mark and the additional time required for accommodations.

Best of luck with your applications!

I should have mentioned that the dashboard indicates I had no applications in the last 12 months.

I haven't heard from the recruiter yet, I had emailed them yesterday.

Thanks, Andrzej.

Hi there,

Only the recruiter will be able to answer that accurately. 

It sounds like a significant amount of time has gone by, and considering that you've put in additional effort in preparing, you should have another chance. 

Hope it goes better this time!
Best,
Cristian
