Padi DM Final Exam

If you take all eight sections together for the final exam and you fail one or a couple of sections: do you have to take to whole thing over, or just the section(s) you failed?

Just the section(s) you failed to pass. There are two versions of each exam for just this eventuality.

If you fail "a couple of the sections" you have to ask yourself why you want to be a PADI DM in the first place.

That is a little harsh.... I am sure there are great DM and instructors who struggled with several of the sections. I think that some instructors will charge you a fee to take the second test. There are difficult concepts in the material. I breezed through my exam, but I've been a professional students for longer than most people ever been.
