Scheduling Your Exam After Your Application is Approved

After you application is approved, you will receive an email notification from ANS, followed by a email from Pearson/VUE with information about scheduling your exam appointment. To schedule your exam, visit the Pearson VUE website and either sign in or create a new account.

Go To Pearson VUE

The system will take you to the scheduling portal and show you the examinations for which you are eligible. Based on your address or using a location that you enter into the system, Pearson will show the closest three centers to you. You can change the range of centers by changing the search at the top of the screen. You may select up to three test centers to see availability at the testing centers.

The available dates and times are presented; please select the preferred test center, along with a date/time using the calendar screen. If no appointments are available at a center during the time you are authorized, you will need to pick a different center.

Once you select a date/time, you will be presented with information about your appointment. Please review the details before you confirm your appointment.

Once confirmed, you will receive a final confirmation screen and an email with the exam details, test center location, directions to the test center, and testing policies. Making additional changes after confirmation may result in additional fees.

Requests for rescheduling an examination appointment to a different date within the same testing period must be submitted directly to Pearson VUE through the scheduling web link listed on your Exam Appointment (EA) email.

If you reschedule at least 72 hours before your appointment and use the Pearson VUE online portal, there is no fee. If you do not use the online portal for rescheduling, you will be charged a $125 rescheduling fee. Rescheduling is not permitted after the 72-hour cut-off point.

Requests for transferring an examination appointment to a different testing period must be submitted by following the instructions provided by Pearson VUE testing service. All transfers of examinations to a different period are subject to a $125 transfer fee.

Failure to keep an appointment or cancelling an appointment without the appropriate notice (fewer than two weeks before the scheduled appointment) will result in forfeiture of all applicable exam fees.

You may transfer your exam to the next testing period up to two times. Upon transferring your exam, you are no longer eligible for a refund and will forfeit all applicable exam fees should you decide to cancel your exam after it has been transferred to a later testing period. If you wish to transfer your examination further than two testing periods from the original application, you must submit for a cancellation and refund and resubmit a new application.
