retests

Checks once more

Retests are second or subsequent tests, administered after an initial test.

Students who fail may take a retest.

Products that failed quality control undergo retests.

In drug testing, a positive result triggers a retest to confirm.

The verb retest means to test again: They retested the water after the contamination scare.
