How to move DAT cutoff date from sign up

Members do not see this ad.

I signed up for the eligibility application on Prometric to take the DAT a little while ago, and the cut off date which they allow me to chose a test date to take the DAT is on August 9. My DAT-prep course ends August 13, and I would like to take the DAT on the 18th, if possible. I was told to email the ADA to explain my situation and request an extension. Do you guys think they will extend it for me, or do I need a better excuse? Please let me know, as I really don't want to pay the fee for another eligibility application. Thanks!

I was told that I have to email them. Still, I'm not sure if I should write them an email requesting an extension, considering the fact that they might not grant me an extension because I do not have a valid excuse.
Do you think I will only have to pay the $25 fee to move the date, although I have not scheduled it yet, or do you think they will make me sign up for a new eligibility and pay the hundreds of dollars again?

Any idea what you'll be doing those last few days of classes?

I'd just go ahead and take the thing.

I was told that the last few days would be wrapping up chemistry, which is ultimately the reason why I took the course. 🙁

I don't mind paying $25 to postpone it, but I don't know if they'll allow me to chose a date outside of that three month time frame without a good excuse.

*Edit: I called them and they said they only extend for emergencies such as illness or death.. Any way around the $300 fee to apply for again?
