Not showing up/rescheduling for the TEAS?

Published

Hi there, I'm kinda new to the site and in desperate need of advice or information. I am scheduled to take the TEAS exam tomorrow morning (October 10,2015). My mom passed away last night, and I am in no condition to take the exam. I know there is no refund, and you must repay and reschedule if you do not show up. Does anyone know if you get penalized for not showing up to the exam? Or would it best to just take the exam, do horribly, and retake it when I am more mentally stable to take it in the future? Is there also a penetally for taking the exam twice when applying to nursing schools? Thank you so much.

I am very sorry for your loss. You will not be penalized for not taking it, you simply just lose the money. I know this because I 'live chatted' with the ATI representative online and asked that very question. I wish your family patience and ease during this difficult time.
