Hello,
This is my first post and I am looking for some advice. I thought I had signed up properly for the January 2012 PCAT back in early October, but I just found out that this is not the case and I'm pretty worried right now. I had done the first step and paid the registration fee, but did not create the other account on pearsonvue to fully register/confirm a seat. (After I paid the registration fee and chose my preferred date, I had to leave the country for over a month to a remote place and did not have internet access to see the Pearson emails telling me to confirm my seat).
Anyways, I am looking to write it in British Columbia. I've been calling/checking online to see whether a spot is available in Vancouver/Burnaby/Victoria, but they are all full at the moment.
My main question: What are the chances that a spot becomes available? Is it highly unlikely for someone to cancel? Do they have a few seats on hold? Do a few people usually cancel on the last day left to cancel (Dec. 27th)?
How many people are writing the tests at these centres? I am asking this to get a bit of an idea of whether it is likely that someone cancels. (If there's a very small amount of students writing then my chances would be less)
If anyone is thinking of cancelling their spot in British Columbia, I would be extremely grateful if you would let me know. I will definitely be constantly checking to see whether a spot becomes available, but I am posting here to hopefully get some good news.
I know this is entirely my fault. If anyone else has been in this same situation, any advice would be much appreciated. If I don't get to do this then I will have to wait another year just to apply. I can't really relax right now and I don't want to make my parents stress out over nothing IF there's a good chance that a seat becomes available. Thank you for any help.
