Exam Rescheduling

Exam reschedules are not common, but they do occur for various reasons, such as pandemic restrictions, weather events, or local situations. Whenever possible, candidates' exams will be rescheduled to the same location and within the same exam window for a different date. If no open appointments are available at the original location, rescheduling will be done within a 50-mile radius of the originally selected center.

In the event of an exam cancellation, Prometric will send you an appointment confirmation email with your new exam details. This email will come from donotreply@prometric.com.

Understand Rescheduling Rules and Fees

Rescheduling within the same exam window is allowed for a non‑refundable USD 250 fee plus any applicable taxes; it does not move the candidate to a new testing window. Because popular Indian centers can reach capacity, late attempts to shift cities or dates may be constrained even if paying the reschedule fee, making early commitment to a viable city/date combination prudent.
