Aren't there only four exams in API?
As Scoober pointed out, there are six major exams. But each test has a retest for those who fail. So on one exam--Aero II for example--you can notch two failures. In that case you would roll back and take the test with the next class to come up on it--assuming that you're not attrited by the PRB which is mandatory after two failures. If you fail the third time, you're done. You could also fail three separate tests once each, or any combination thereof...
As far as the Three Strikes rule...Don't fail three tests if you want to be in aviation.
