   I have an NTS which expires 8/1 for FAR. I registered for FAR a while ago, thinking that it would be the first I would;d take, when in fact I later decided to take the other three first (which I passed). As it turns out, I feel that I'm very sure I won't be ready for FAR come 8/1. Could I cancel my NTS and create a new one, so that I can take FAR at the end of August?

   Auditing 2/11 - 85
   Regulation - 4/29/11 - 88
   BEC - 5/28/11 - 81
   Financial - 8/1/11 - 80

   I've never changed the date of an exam, but I'm pretty sure you can reschedule your exam for a fee without any change to the NTS. Go to the Prometric site for more info. If someone who's done this before knows differently, please post the correct info.

   FAR 4/1/11 - 89
   AUD 4/15/11 - 85
   REG 4/29/11 - 80
   BEC 5/13/11 - 85

   I rescheduled FAR but I was still within my NTS. I think if you extend outside your NTS, you need a new NTS. If you reschedule 30 days out, there is no Prometric charge to reschedule. You'll need to get a new NTS though.

   Your NTS is only good for 9 months, so if you dont take the section within those 9 months, it will expire and you lose the fees you paid. Ive never heard of cancelling a NTS, you'd have to call nasba about that one.

   Why don't you think you'd be ready by 8/1? If it turns out that you can't cancel the NTS and get a new one in time, then you'd might as well just take FAR on 8/1.

   I've cancelled an NTS before. You have to sign a waiver saying that you agree to forfeit the exam fee you've paid, then reapply for a new NTS and pay again.

   I'm sure it varies by state. States have different rules regarding extending an NTS. Usually you can only do it if you have a valid medical reason.

   Bottom line - call your state board of accountancy.

   FAR 84 ; BEC 76 ; REG 82 ; AUD 76 DONE!!! ETHICS- Passed
