    I was scheduled to take REG on Monday, but Prometric was closed due to icy weather. I proactively rescheduled it to Tuesday, and Prometric was still closed. So I rescheduled for Saturday, the only day that had any spots open. It’s snowing again today and not looking good for tomorrow. I live in Texas, and everyone freaks out at the sign of any winter weather.

    As of Wednesday, NASBA tweeted that they do not have any plans to extend the Q1 testing window. This is absurd given how many sites have been closed across the country just this week due to bad weather. If your test has been delayed this week, please tweet @NASBA or send them an email at cpaexam@nasba.org to urge them to extend the Q1 testing window.

    This is only my 2nd test, so I’m a newbie when it comes to NASBA, but I’m really hoping that the past month I spent studying doesn’t go to waste.

    @ Tx, I completely agree with you. A lot of states have had weather issues and I am surprised why they haven't extended the window. I really thought they would by now. They have done it in the past. I feel we should send NASBA an email and hopefully – they can extend it.

    I am in NY and we didn't have any weather issues but the first week of March is now available when I go to the prometric website. I scheduled my exam for that week, I hope it is not a glitch. I assumed they extended the week for all states.

    For some reason that week isn't always available. After I scheduled it yesterday, I checked again and it was no longer available. Just now I checked and the dates are there again.

    Keep checking availability for March it seems to appear on and off randomly.

    I just called prometric to confirm and they said it was extended.

    Why do they always do this? It's really quite frustrating. Like don't say not going to extend, and then extend like 5 minutes later!!!
