Booked, eligible
and ready on the day.

Enter the exam, the eligibility window and the reschedule terms, and the checklist works out the last moment you can change the booking for free. It flags a booking outside the window, accommodations still pending and an online setup you have not tested.

The worked example is two made-up exams: an online exam in nine days with the system check still to run, and a skills exam booked after the eligibility window closes. Records save on this device only.

Booking before accommodations are approved, or after the window closes, are the two mistakes that most often cost candidates a fee.

Your name, exactly

Testing programs check that the name on your ID matches the name on your registration, often letter for letter. A missing middle name or a married name on one but not the other can mean being turned away and losing the fee. Fix the account before exam day.

Testing accommodations

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, organizations that offer licensing and certification exams must provide them in an accessible way, including testing accommodations when you document the need. Each body has its own request process and timeline; start early.
