So I scheduled an appointment on July 25th at 8 AM around 3-4 weeks ago. I called Prometric today to ask a question about my testing center and they told me that I had never scheduled an appointment. I went online and tried to put my eligibility ID in and it just wouldn't work. I called Prometric and they said that my ID is valid I just haven't scheduled an appointment. They said that I could on the phone but July 25th was booked so I would have to do it on the 18th or August 2nd. I wanted to check to see if I could look at other locations so I told him I would call back, I tried my ID again in Prometric and it just didn't work. It just won't let me in. A bit frustrating.

Anyways, I have been studying for around 5-6 weeks. Should I bump the test up a week, or wait until August 2nd? I'm a bit nervous about holding off as I have already submitted my application, but I also am nervous to take it a week earlier than I had planned. Otherwise, I can make a 2.5 hour drive and take it the day I was planning (leaning towards this right now), although I don't want to be tired when I get to the testing center. Does anyone know if spots open up (people moving there dates back)?

Didn't you receive a confirmation email from them?
Also, what are your scores from the practice tests telling you? are you ready or not?

No that's why I called them, and now my account is like locked out but they can get on it? I don't understand.

First time through OChem BC (Tests 6-10) I'm getting 20-22.
First time through Gen Chem BC (Tests 6-10) I'm getting around 19s.

Went through all of them again and am getting 24s, haven't done any Bio ones yet but I've gone through destroyer. I feel ready for Chem, PAT, Math, but I'm not sure about BIO.
 
Ok this happened with me too. So this is what you have to do, when you have to log in, put in your conformation number WITHOUT the zero's. Then put in your first 4 letters of your last name. DO NOT PRESS ENTER ON THE KEYBOARD. You need to take your mouse and click on the continue button. This will allow you to be able to reschedule. Let me know if this works.

Wow it worked. Now my spot is still taken. I have to decide if I want to take it a week early, a week later, or drive 2.5 hours and take it the same day.
 
Driving 2.5 hours will mess you up.
You will be tired, exhausted, and stressed. And who knows if you gonna get a traffic ticket for speeding or worse because of the test pressure.
Unless you gonna stay the night on that place in a hotel or something I don't recommend you drive 2 and half hour for that testing center.

I mean if you feel ready, just take the Bio and RC and see how much you are getting, no need to postpone it that much if you feel confident.

Thank you for this! I was having issues and kinda panicked that I somehow wasn't registered!
