We can attempt Salesforce Certification 3 times in a particular release. Every year, we have 3 release cycles from Salesforce. So, we can attempt 9 times per year.

Salesforce resets the retake count end of every release. 

 

For the 1st retake(after 1st attempt), we have to wait for 1 day(24 hours) to register.

For the 2nd retake, we have to wait for 14 days. 

For the 3rd retake, we have to wait for the next release as you have surpassed the 3 attempts already.
