Hi all,

Need advice. I'm sick as a dog in bed and I am taking the GMAT on Tuesday. I'm completely achy and have a 101.9 degree fever and I think this is the flu! I don't believe that you can reschedule, even if you are TRULY sick!! I tried to call the customer service number but they are not open on the weekends? Anyone know if reschedule is possible without paying 250 fee. I'm afraid to bomb it while sick and wait another 30 days to take it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

niceguy22

I am not sure, but I remember that you can postpone your assignment for 50$ fee.

You can only reschedule your test a week before the actual date for $50. After that, if you change the date, you have to pay the full price.

Hey niceguy,

Just try to be calm now. Nothing is end of life. See if you can recover before the test day or just give a try. Anyway, i guess its late to re-schedule the exam. Just give it a try with cool head. You've nothing to lose!
