What must you do after failing the knowledge exam three times?

The rule

After three failed knowledge exams, no fourth try is allowed until you finish and pass the classroom part of driver education, or, if eligible, an approved 8-hour course based on the manual.

After three fails, you must complete and pass the classroom part of driver education, or an approved 8-hour manual course, before a fourth try.

From the Virginia Driver's Manual, section 1, page 3. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
