If this is not possible, a second non-national testing may be taken but only after a minimum of 60 days has elapsed since the first testing. If the 60-day time limit is violated, the retest scores will be canceled automatically. No refund will be made for such canceled scores.

Registration fee is good for the testing year (November until October). No refunds will be given. Cancellations must be made at least 24hrs before testing date. Cancellations made less than 24hrs may be charged a $20 cancellation fee.
