I hope someone can help me. I am due to take my part 1 next week but I'm unsure whether or not I should reschedule. I was thinking that if I take it, I may be lucky and have enough time to apply to BU whose deadline is 1st Feb. However, I know they want the scores directly and I don't remember requesting scores to be sent directly to any institutions when I applied for the exam. I know I can request additonal reports after I take the test but this can take another 3-4 weeks. In this case I would miss the deadline. I've tried to contact the ada but can't get past the recorded messages!

My dilemma is, should I take the exam next week and risk having to retake the exam (I could probably do with another week or two of studying) or should I just go for it, in the hope that I may be able to apply to BU? If I end up having to retake the exam, I'll have to wait 90 days before I can do it which means I'll miss more university deadlines. Please help!!!

Thanks!

Weather to take the exam or not, this depends on you and on your preparation...
If I did my best, I will take the exam...
For your score report problem:
the ada send your score report after 2 weeks from the day they receive your request, so send your request with courier service like fedex...
and to make sure that BU will receive the score in the proper time, send the ada prepaid fedex envelops, so the ada can use this envelop to send your score report...
I wish this helps you...
good luck

I never knew that the ADA will send reports by FEDEX if someone sends them prepaid envelopes. Are you sure about that. I have almost the same problem but have the advantage of living in Chicago so I guess I can make sure the ADA gets my score report. Still, I guess, I am a bit confused how to expedite the process.
P.S Congrats on your great score.

Thank you...

I'll give you an example "and this what I did"..:
I went to fedex and told them that I want an envelop where the ada can use it to send my score report to Boston Uni. and I want to pay for it, because the ada will not pay for this service...
Fedex gave me an envelop. I wrote the sender address "which is ADA" and I wrote the recepient address " which is the Uni" and I selected the 2 days service, and I wrote my credit card no. on the envelop, so fedex can charge me when the envelop reaches the Uni...
after filling all the information in the envelop, I put this envelop in another envelop and sent it to the ada, and I told the ada to use the prepaid envelop to send my score report to the Uni...
My plan seems to be complicated...
But it worked...
I wish this will help you...
 
Thanx. I think I will try that too.

Just wanted to say thanks for your advice! I decided to reschedule in the end!
