Sent my LivingDNA swab for a second test. What happens if this one fails too.

Should i go for ancestry myheritage or 23andme to get autosomal ancestry results?

How high are the chances of the test failing again

If you study hard, you won't fail the test again.

My mother's 23andMe failed twice, they automatically sent a refund on the second failure.

Did you do anything different for the second sample? I have read that there is more DNA in the saliva first thing in the morning, but that info was in regards to the spit in the tube test, not necessarily the swab type test.
