Travel for the Comlex PE

I was planning on flying to Conshokken PA for the Comlex PE. My exam begins at 2pm. I have never ever flown anywhere in my life, but I have heard that sometimes, planes are late. If I scheduled a flight that was to arrive in Philly at 9:30 am on the day of my exam, is it reasonable to assume that even with a flight delay, I would be able to rent a car and make it to my exam on time?

Also, any suggestions on where to stay or where not to stay? I've read mixed reviews here about the Mariott. Any other ideas?

Best advice for anyone flying anywhere for anything important - get there the day/night before. Make life easier on yourself. You are flying into a northeastern airport in the winter season - delays, storms, etc should be anticipated. Let's face it, being late, or not showing up at all is going to be quite more expensive than an additional night in a hotel.

if you already scheduled a flight that can not be changed, I would agree that you have a great chance of making the test at 330 in time. However, I agree with above poster. GET THERE ONE DAY EARLY.

This is what I'd recommend too. You'll most likely be fine even if you fly in the day of the test, but I think it will be easier and less stressful if you can fly in the day/night before.
Good luck 🙂

Thanks for the advice everyone🙂. I've decided to drive in the day before and then just drive home right after the exam so I'll just be paying for one night in a hotel. I just hope I pass .
