Is this a program that a child only has one shot at? Like you test into it in 2nd grade, but if you don't get in, there's no chance next year? Or can students test into it the following years?

You can keep on trying every year.

No! You can only request ONE re-test from grade 3 through 7.

Not fully accurate. You can only request one re-test on FCPS's dime. If you can afford private testing, you can do that every year. If you don't get in the first time, you can "parent refer" your child for level IV center screening in subsequent years according to the published timeline.
OP, your best bet is really to go on the AAP website and see if you can answer your own questions there - http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/index.shtml
The Parent Information Packet and the FAQ will probably tell you more than you need to know.
