NASBA said they don't cancel NTS, new for 2016 or just bad customer rep?

    I previously read at least a few times on this site that you can call NASBA and they will cancel and NTS if you want to…and easily. Or so I thought.

    I just spoke to someone who said you either have to sit for the exam or wait for it to expire before you can cancel it. Is this true? I got the same rep twice; the first time I called he transferred me to someone who wasn’t even in the office and had to leave a message.

    Any guidance with this issue? Thanks.

    Short answer is yes.

    I had two sections on my NTS and I found out today that I did not pass one(REG), and there is one more valid section (BEC) on that NTS and I want to retake REG before I take BEC, but NTS1 with BEC expires in May. In the event that I pass REG with my new NTS in early April, NASBA says there isn't a whole lot I can do about the remaining BEC on my NTS except to either take it(or no show) or wait for it to expire.

    Either way, it looks like I would have to take BEC in July at this rate even if I wanted to try and take it in May. I just don't know why I can't cancel or reschedule an NTS if I have been reading that I can.

    Honestly I'd take the word of NASBA over an internet forum. I would hardly consider what you read here to be authoritative.

    Take BEC next then retake REG.

    Honestly I found it easier to study for a different section prior to retaking a section that I had failed. It helps to take your mind of the material for a little while. At least that was my experience. Plus if you don't take BEC with that NTS you pretty much just wasted the money you spent on that section.

    It happened to me a few months ago. I asked for my NTS to be cancelled so I could buy a new one but the lady said it's not an option.

    To God be the glory! Forever, amen!
