*Test appointments scheduled for less than 48 hours from now cannot be rescheduled on the website.
Rescheduling policies differ for each program.
Please refer to your confirmation email for program specific information before attempting to reschedule your test appointment.

Since the website says program policies differ, and to refer to the confirmation email- I would check the first email that you received when you initially scheduled your exam. What does it say regarding the rescheduling policy? However, Pearson VUE's information regarding NCLEX does state that you cannot reschedule a Monday exam on a Sunday because it is not one business day before. That does not give them time to process the request. Even though you received a confirmation email, you need to call as soon as you can in the morning. If it's too late to reschedule, they should definitely let you take it when you were originally scheduled.

Why are you rescheduling anyway? And why on such short notice?

I just can't believe they would give me a confirmation email if it wouldn't be correct idk I'm trying to just pray about and hoping I didn't really mess something up!

Much of the Pearson VUE website is automated. That means that it does a lot without a real person there to review it. Pearson VUE relies on people reading the email notifications and their policies. There may not be fail-safes built into the website to prevent people from rescheduling online inside the 24 hour window. Also remember that Pearson VUE is a for-profit company. The more people who miss their exam and have to repay, the more money they make. Even if the error is entirely the fault of the Pearson VUE system (and in this case it would not be because their website says you must reschedule within one business day, they will not give you a refund or make exceptions.

Try to relax. The thing is, they either process the change or they don't. You didn't cancel the exam, so it's either scheduled for the 16th or it stays scheduled for tomorrow. I'm guessing that when you call tomorrow they will say that you tried to reschedule too late and you have to either stay with your original exam time or repay the fee. So there is a good chance you'll be taking the exam tomorrow. You don't want to spend the night before your exam stressing out about it. Go do something fun to take your mind off of this and get a good night's sleep. In the morning, call Pearson VUE and see when your test is scheduled for. Then call the testing center and see if they have you on the schedule.

Let me know how it goes tomorrow! Good luck!

I know for a FACT that if it were too late to reschedule, you would have gotten a Red message underneath your appt date as you log in..the message would have said "Cannot schedule a new appoint because existing appt is within 24hrs" or something to that nature. I know because the day before my test last week I logged in just to check the address for the test center and I saw the red msg. The computer knows! So if you didn't see a red msg, it allowed you to change, and you got the confirmation email of the new date..you are FINE!! I promise you ;)

I agree with the above, I just checked my ATI email, and it says 24 hours online to reschedule. And if the system allowed you to, you are golden! Good luck!!

Well I spoke to two separate representatives at the Pearson vue company and they both said that my test had been rescheduled and I am good to go for the 7-16-2012 testing date that I rescheduled to. They said that as long as you reschedule 24 hours before online you are ok! I'm thanking god that I did it correctly! Now I have an extra week to feel really prepared! :)
