My inquiry is a bit complex, but basically I am seeking guidance in the following area. I began my quest by passing BEC

back in Aug 2011. Since then, I failed Audit twice. I registered to take the FAR exam and took it on January 3rd. Since my testing window expired Feb 18 2013, I figured I would register for both AUD/REG and take them in early Feb 2013 (just in case I passed FAR on Jan 3rd). That way if I did pass FAR, I would have a minimal chance of passing both AUD/REG prior to the expiration of my 18-month window. Unfortunately, I did not pass FAR and had to cancel my scheduled AUD/REG exams via Prometric.

As far as the Maryland Board is concerned, there is no refund for the AUD/REG sections (paid $400 for both). My NTS states that the latest I can take both is late July 2013. However, due to life circumstances, I will not embark on another attempt until later this year (Oct/Nov). So, if I do not schedule a test prior to the NTS deadline would I???

A)Have to re-register only, but not lose the $400 I paid?

OR

B)Have to re-register AND re-pay the $400?

I just don’t want to be out $400 bucks. The only reason I registered for those 2 exams is that I had a slight chance of hitting the jackpot early this year (passing all 4 b/f window expired), but the desired sequence of events never came to fruition.

Thanks guys!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you don't take the exams before the NTS expire in July 2013, you have to re-register and pay the $400.

Understood, but do you think I can send a request to Board inquiring about an extension of the current NTS deadline date to a date closer to Oct.15 if I can provide solid reasons to back up my request? Just wondering…

You can. I would get on it ASAP though. There are very few reasons where they will grant extensions (I personally have never heard of anyone getting one), but it's worth a shot.

REG - 5/21/2012 - 85
FAR - 7/24/2012 - 86
BEC - 8/27/2012 - 85
AUD - 10/5/2012 - 72....rematch 1/3/13 - 75!!!

AAANNNNDDDDD I'm done 🙂
