How to Schedule an Exam

Scheduling an Examination Seat and Time

To obtain your preferred testing date, time and location schedule an exam appointment as soon as you receive your Authorization To Test (ATT) letter confirming approval of your eligibility to sit for the examination. This letter includes your name, the test you have been approved to take and your CBNC Candidate ID number. You will need these data exactly as printed on your ATT letter.

You must register for a seat and time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the exam date. After that time, seats for the CBNC examinations cannot be guaranteed by Prometric. Seats are limited; those who register early will have the best opportunities to schedule their exam at a time and location convenient to them.

Online scheduling is encouraged because it is faster and more efficient and can be done any time after receiving your ATT letter. An email address is required to schedule online. Candidates who schedule online will receive an email confirmation of the exam appointment and a Prometric confirmation number. To schedule online, go to www.prometric.com/CBNC Exam appointments can be scheduled by phone Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (ET) by calling 1-888-763-0134 (U.S.). Candidates scheduling by phone will not receive written confirmation of their appointment so be sure to note the appointment details and confirmation number. Put your confirmation number in a safe place. This number is required to confirm, reschedule or cancel an exam appointment and differs from your CBNC Candidate ID number.

Candidates should be aware that not all test centers will be open on the CBNC test dates, nor will sites necessarily have availability at all times during the day. For this reason, candidates are encouraged to schedule early to get their preferred exam date, time and location.

Scheduling by Telephone

If you do not have a valid email address, you will need to make testing arrangements with Prometric by phone. In the United States, U.S. Territories and Canada, please dial 1-888-763-0134. Candidates from outside the United States, U.S. Territories and Canada must contact the Prometric Regional Call Center for your area. This information can be found at www.prometric.com/CBNC. Please have your CBNC Candidate ID number available when you contact Prometric.

You will not receive a printed (email) confirmation if you schedule by telephone. You will be given a Prometric confirmation number to write down. Keep this number safe. You will need this to cancel or reschedule your examination.

Prometric has a new service called e-chat available for candidates who require urgent weekend support. Visit Prometric Customer Service for more information at www.Prometric.com/TestTakers/ContactUs.
