Even if not, I don't know of any VE group that allows
retesting on the same test at the same test session.


My understanding is that some do - if you pay another fee.

Do they allow the taking of the exact same test?
I think not. I have been a VE at several sessions here
in NJ and have never seen anyone allowed to take the
exact same test a second time on that same session
regardless of paying an additional fee. The reality also
is that the VEs running the session have no desire to
allow anyone to just stay all day/night until the applicant's
money runs out.


Well the VE teams that I have been on allow the applicant to keep testing
on the same element until one of the following things happens:

1. The applicant passes
2. The team runs out of different versions of the test for the element
that the applicant trying to pass
3. The applicant runs out of money or patience
4. The VE team runs out of time or patience.

The team is not required to stay just because an applicant wants to keep
trying. It is within the team's rights to set the length of the test
session and whether or not to extend it.

I have no problem with that since, per your point 2,
the applicant doesn't retest the same version of the
test already taken at that VE session.
