Do you mean to say your ATT will expire in 90 days? Or has it already expired? If not, and if you don't want the hassle of getting HK schedule, you can change your testing center by calling the hotline. Good luck!

No need to panic. The HK slots always opens up. It will always initially say that it is full for 2-4 months but everyday slots open up one at a time.

You need to be vigilant and patient in waiting for a slot to open up. It will be an effort on your part and not someone else. The scheduler in your on-line account is real-time. It changes on the fly when some one cancels or takes the slot and for HK it always opens up, esp. 2-5 weeks before the test date. The closer it gets to their appt. dates (2-5 week range) the more you'll see people canceling their appt. dates. Expect to see open slots during those times.

Every one was able to find a slot if they've devoted time and effort to monitor the scheduler/calendar on their accounts and I can guarantee you that you will as well if you're patient enough to check it every day.

wow that was a great relief lawrence! I thought i am doomed with my exam and have to pay another $$$ for any changes. Im always online especially at night (Phili. time) so I' ll have time to monitor possible availability of slots. My ATT will expire at sept 22 and I plan to take the exam maybe on the third week of august up to 2nd week of september which ever there is an available schedule. so you say that they open up slots one at a time?if i plan to take this august so probably in july slots will be coming? i really pray that this scheduling of exam would go on well. I would really be so much happy if I will take the exams in HK as I planned. Keep you updated! thanks! and god bless us all!

Just remember that you need to consider where you will be calling. You need to call to make the appt. because you still need to pay the additional $150 for an Int'l testing site such as HK. If you will be calling Pearson-VUE w/in the Asia-Pacific areas to make an appt. then you have to call during office hours.

You will be charged $50 for this ( you will give your card details on the phone), same as when one changes their BON.

Good luck!
Hi Aquarian! Really? I thought there is no fee for changing the test site(unless one scheduled for a "non-international test center" and changes mind to schedule for an "international test center")? I thought the applicant merely forfeits the $150 international test center scheduling fee?

I was actually looking for this post to edit my mistake (did it now). I paid $50 when I changed my test center and BON. So, all this time I was thinking that both will charge that. Changing the test site is free, it's the BON change that made my card cry. Thanks for calling my attention, John!

First of all, congrats!! We told you so and it was easier than you first thought wasn't it ?
Yep. The $150 was already charged to your card. Expect it to come out in your card's next billing statement.

Hehe, it's okay, we're human. " An error doesn't become a mistake until one refuses to correct it."

You're welcome Aquarian!
