What happens after you cancel your exam appointment?

• A. An exam seat will be applied to your NCARB Record within 24 hours, expiring one year from the transaction date.
• B. Your cancellation is final with no further action.
• C. You will receive a refund.
• D. The seat is canceled immediately.

Answer: (A)

Canceling your exam appointment creates a seat credit in your NCARB Record. Within 24 hours, that seat is attached to your account and it stays valid for one year from the cancellation date, giving you a window to schedule a new appointment without losing the opportunity to test. This credit is not a refund, and the seat isn’t canceled immediately; it remains available for future use until it expires. If you don’t reschedule within that year, the credit expires and you’d need to book a new appointment and pay any applicable fees. This setup helps you recover from a cancellation while preserving the chance to test later.
