Why can’t I find any available seat/test centers?
Due to COVID-19, there will be shortages of seats in some locations. In most centers, candidates will be seated with an open seat between each active workstation. This will reduce the number of seats by half for any given day.

What is the last day to request a refund/transfer?
If you are not able to find an available test center, or if you are uncomfortable attending due to COVID-19, you can submit your request form up to 48 hours before the exam session begins. Otherwise, we have a no refund/transfer policy.
Due to the high volume of requests, this may take up to 10 business days to complete. However, as long as you have submitted your request 48 hours prior or your exam session, your request will be honored.
Where can I find my eligibility/candidate ID?
Your eligibility/candidate ID can be found on your order confirmation email or in your Order History. It will be labeled as the “Candidate ID”.
