They want you to reschedule before 12 noon 5 Business days prior to your originally scheduled date so as to avoid the rescheduling fee. It wasn't clear how much the fee was but, apparently, it's $100. It's annoying, but it is mentioned!

I tried to reschedule Step 2 CK on the prometric site and it wanted to charge me even though I was way ahead of the five business day deadline. So, I called prometric and had them reschedule for me. No charge.

Default hi

Theres a glitch in the computer system. If you want to reschedule, you have to call prometric directly and reschedule with them on the phone (no charge).

I just extended eligibility and, as far as I can tell, there is no way to extend eligibility without the $50 fee, regardless of how much advance notice is given. Extending seemed like a fair deal, in the sense you have until 25 days AFTER your original period ends to get them the forms, the caveat being you still have to cancel your original appt 5 Business Days prior, or you'll be charged a rescheduling fee ($100).
