Being eligible for the exam

One thing is being registered for the exam, another is whether you are eligible for the exam.

For some courses you are eligible just by being registered for the course.
For other courses you need to pass mandatory activities in order to be eligible for the exam.

If you are not eligible for the exam you will use an exam attempt.
Please see the section on Mandatory activities under About courses.
