not my experience... is this a board/school policy or a specific teacher?

never seen teaches let exams be retaken

I think it's more common than you would expect. It's a configurable option in many online learning solutions (Canvas, BlackBoard). InQuisitive allows you to keep answering questions until you reach 100% grade, and often represent 10%-30% of a course's entire grade.
Most of my school's core subjects allow retakes for a limited grade (not in AP classes though). Just one data point fwiw
It seems the district or at least the school because it’s every class and was similar in middle school.
