Unscheduling NCLEX/exam fee

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi! I've been Google'ing all morning, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere, and I can't call Pearson Vue until Monday. I'm hoping I can find some help here!

I am planning to retake my NCLEX, and my ATT is going to expire in the second week of February. I have already paid the examination fee, but unfortunately, unexpectedly long hours at work, illness, and personal issues have prevented me from sticking to the study schedule I had planned for myself. I have about 3 weeks left until my test date (the day before my ATT expires), and with my rocky schedule, I'm incredibly fearful that I will not have enough time to prepare for the exam.

If I unschedule my exam with enough notice, will I be able to use the exam fee that I had already paid toward my next ATT? My hope is that I can let this current one expire, then reapply without having to forfeit my $200 exam fee. I understand that it is unlikely. If anyone has been in the same boat, I am interested in hearing about your experience and hope for good news!

My understanding is you will forfeit exam fees if you do not take before your ATT expires.

Nope. No refunds if you fail to test before your ATT expires (no extensions) You need to reapply to the BoN for a new ATT and some BoN's charge a reapplication fee in addition to the $200 to Pearson
