Canceling vs rescheduling DAT

[lilikoi]

Has anyone canceled and then scheduled for a new date, instead of rescheduling?

Since I didn't know when exactly to reschedule for, and the fees were equal, I went ahead and canceled on prometric.com. I thought they'd keep $25 and refund the rest, but they actually kept the original amount and took $25 more. Does that mean when I schedule for a new test date in a later date, they would count that as a 'reschedule' and require another payment of $25 (so i end up paying $50 extra to rechedule)?

I thought if you canceled you have to pay another $325 to sign up. Your best bet is to rescehdule

Yeah, this is how I thought it worked too. You may have to pay everything all over again. Call them and see. It doesn't take that long to get through.

hmmmmmm it doesn't make much sense to me to lose all+pay a fee, when you could make no effort to free up a seat and don't pay a fee... In any case, will call & update🙂

I canceled mine initially and then rescheduled it to a later date and they only charged me 25 dollars.

I canceled my test because I wanted to reschedule my test a month after the year grace period allowed for rescheduling and they charged me $25 to cancel and then $325 for the new test. It sucked because they said that if you make any changes to the test date or time including canceling it then it is a $25 fee. You can on the other hand reschedule your test without having to pick a new date. You just have to reschedule within a year from your initial approval to test. They always take the $25 up front.

Hope this helps!!!

Well, it is a total loss if you cancel your appointment. I meant everything; therefore, I would suggest that you reschedule, and it only costs $25 every time you do it. Well, I did 5 times because I always felt like I was not ready. Finally, I did it, and it's not that bad, just be ready...!
