I've decided that one of the best ways to get me motivated to study hard will be to book an exam in advance, so I can set myself a deadline. But I guess I'm going to need at least a month, (more like 2) to study, is it possible to book exams now (mid feb) to be taken, say, at the end of march, are all bookings firm and final, if I booked now and something came up that meant I couldn't find time to study would I lose the exam fee.

Do other people do this? or do you tend to book exams when your just about ready to take them?

you just visit the prometric website and book on your preffered date or dates if they are available.

 

I don't know if it works differently with Prometric sites in the UK, but here you have to cancel 24 hours in advance or you lose your exam fee.

Yes, other people do this... but I don't. I study until I'm ready to take the exam, and then I schedule the exam. It's rare that I can't schedule an exam for the next day or the day-after-next.

 

I think it is better to do as wagnerk said, as some exams are alot harder than others.

 

You can rearrange the exam if need be, without losing your fee, as long as you give more then 24 hours notice I believe.

It can be good to book ahead if it helps with motivation, but make sure you dont just keep moving it

 

Personally I'm a "week before" kinda guy.
I wouldn't even think about booking an exam until I knew the scale of the task ahead of me.

 

I book them a month in advance, then study.

I have cancelled MS Prometric exams with 12 hours notice and not lost my fee.

 

Think I'll study until the end of feb, then see how i'm doing, would really like to get 70-290 done by the end of march though.

Taita - Are you on PH, I recognise the username.

 

Yes mate, who are you on PH.

 

bishbash, not sure why I went for a different username on here, a change is as good as a rest I suppose
