If you arrive late, it is at the discretion of the testing center as to whether or not you may still take the exam. The test administrator at Pearson Professional Center will make every effort to accommodate a late arriving candidate; however, the administrator must ensure that all candidates are not affected.

Cancellation Procedure
Cancellations must be made at least one business day (24 hours) before the exam is scheduled to be taken. You may cancel over the phone or on the Pearson web site. At the time of registration, candidates are informed of the cancellation policy.
