What do you call a second try at a test?

Solution 1:

When you fail you might have the option to retake an exam (also used as a noun). In British English resit is also (more?) commonly used (both as verb and noun).

In some cases they are also called supplementary exams however these can also mean exams in other subjects or from a different exam board that can replace the original exam

Edit: retest is another possibility (from comments)
