If you fail, you may re-take it, but you likely aren't going to be initiated with your class (due to time constraints).

In our chapter everyone took the NM test, both initiated sisters and obviously the NMs. I believe we started this at the instruction of our installing officers for all future NM classes, because if we all were taking the test then it wasn't singling out the NMs which could be understood as hazing.

My chapter actually does the same thing. We were talking about NMs, so I forgot to mention it! We were expected to pass it, but I really don't know what happens if an initiated sister fails. I don't think it ever happened, lol.
