- Bookings cannot be cancelled. You can change the date, time or venue until 23:59 Japan time three business days before the test, if seats are available.
- For tests on weekends or Japanese public holidays, apply at least four business days in advance.
- First-time candidates need a Prometric ID. Register your name exactly as it appears on your documents.
