    Hi there,
    Anyone living in Houston?
    I’m scheduled to retake FAR next Wed and i’m hoping the roads will be okay.
    Is anyone scheduled to test over the weekend or Monday?
    Be safe!

    Prometric has closed most centers thru 8/31 in Houston at this point. Just wanted to give you all a heads up to look at the website, https://www.prometric.com/en-us/pages/siteclosure.aspx.

    Stay safe. Thoughts with all.

    My exam for the 30th has been cancelled. I called Austin and they said they are putting together a list of all Texas people scheduled to sit. We should be receiving an email within the next 1-2 days about rescheduling. We will not be charged a reschedule fee.
    This sucks!

    Has anyone scheduled to test this week received a letter about rescheduling?
    This is so frustrating!

    I have not received anything yet.
    I want to take this before month end starts. I do not want to start all over again.

    only an educated guess but I imagine they can't provide any info about rescheduling until at least the centers are up and running again, need to know if there will be availability or if the test window will require an extension, etc.

    I haven't received any emails either. For now I rescheduled to Sunday, but like you both said we don't really know if they will be open! I am so ready to have this test behind me…and the rain!

    Great news! I got in touch with prometric and was able to reschedule for this Saturday!
    Please call and make your arrangements now!
    Good luck to everyone!

    My original exam for Saturday at the Northwest Fwy (off 290) location was cancelled even though it was not listed on the closures list. I was able to reschedule it to the Harwin location for Saturday morning. Good luck all!

    I test on Harwin as well @iamstrong.
    For those who have not called the State Board, I spoke with them during the storm and they said that they will allow those scheduled to test during this window, at least until 10/31 to test, without having to pay another testing/rescheduling fee.

    My area is still flooded and I am unable to leave. I'll probably have to take the extension.
