Scheduling fees
There are two types of expedited scheduling fees that may apply:
1. Take It Soon (TIS): If you schedule a test within 72 hours of the desired time, an additional fee of $8 will apply.
2. Take It Now (TIN): If you schedule a test within 24 hours, an additional fee of $12 will apply.
If you schedule a test later than 72 hours from the time of scheduling, no additional fees will apply.
Scheduling workflow
Depending on the time that you chose, you might see two different workflows on the ProctorU website.
If you schedule a test within 72 hours, you will be taken to the checkout page, as this will lead to additional fees.
If you schedule a test later than 72 hours, you won't be taken to the checkout, as there are no additional fees.
❕Please note: always make sure to submit your request, otherwise your date and time won't be saved.
❕Please note: if you cancel anything within the scheduling process, it is best to cancel the full order before going to the cart. If you don't cancel the full order, it will stay in your cart.
Once you schedule your test appointment you will receive an email confirmation. You can also see the countdown to your test appointment and check the test rules.
