    I am in Florida and curious as well. One of my exams is on Sunday which is when Irma is expected to make landfall (Sat/Sun).

    Not sure if they'll let us reschedule somehow for this testing window/score release or not (I doubt it), but I'll keep an eye out and post if I find out.

    This link shows prometric testing center closures and it looks like they give 24-hour notice by e-mail if your testing center closes and will help you reschedule…

    Hey good luck gang. Please keep an eye out for these intense weather conditions. No exam is worth your safety so stay safe and keep studying. :-}

    I take my exam at 12:30 on Friday and I live in the Miami area. I've been checking the weather channel and websites and I have no idea when we will be experiencing this storm. It's bad enough that Quarter 2 had a huge delay, now I have to worry about this.

    My BEC exam was scheduled for Sunday the 10th at 12:30 in Dania. I called this morning and had it moved to Saturday the 9th at 8am at the Boca testing center. Crossing my fingers that they remain open!!

    The prometric customer service agent was sympathetic to the issue, but still required me to pay a 35.00 reschedule fee. He said I could attempt to get it refunded due to the hurricane, but couldn't make any guarantees whether it would be successful.

    I have my BEC exam scheduled for Sunday in Ft. Myers and I am not sure what is going to happen especially since this is the last testing day this period. If the hurricane does hit South Florida will we have to wait until October to re-schedule?

    I've never heard of NASBA extending an already extended window but then again we've never had two major natural disasters so close together at the end of a window so anything is possible

    I am scheduled for this Friday the 8th and I'm taking it in Puerto Rico. We are under a hurricane alert starting tomorrow night. I've tried calling the Prometric Center about 10 times but they haven't responded. Do you know where else I can call ?

    I am scheduled to take the exam on Friday at 12:30 in Miami. While the hurricane may not make landfall by then, I was wondering if they would close the testing center so that they and their employees could make hurricane preparations. It's a major concern for me because I also need to fly back home on Monday morning, which may not happen. 🙁

    Does prometric close for the day off the hurricane and days after depending on the impact or does it close before the actual day of the hurricane?

    Well, I just re-scheduled for October 3rd. I'm bummed that I will have to wait until December for my score, but I don't comfortable enough to sit on Sunday anyways. Good luck everyone! And most importantly, stay safe!!

    Schools and government offices have be announced to be closed on Sept. 7 and Sept. 8. Tried calling Prometric but no answer. If anyone has any luck, please share the information.
