The way you own this will determine how your future interviews go.
In the past I recall there were regionals who did not allow a re-test for the written... they basically assumed that a multiple choice written is all about work ethic and if you can't even get that right they don't want to waste the sim money on you.
I also recall at least one that had a mems & lims test on day one... you had to pass in order to come back on day two. Obviously that was back when they gave you a study package well in advance.
The regs allow for a couple strikes, but the airlines don't have to.
I would have assumed that in today's climate they would be more forgiving, but maybe not.
