Rescheduling and Cancelling

Candidates are able to cancel or reschedule their test booking up until 48 hours prior to their scheduled test time, without financial penalty. You can do this via your UAT-UK account on the Pearson VUE site.

Failure to reschedule or cancel in time, or failure to appear for your appointment will result in the forfeiture of your test fee. Candidates who used a bursary voucher to pay for their test will not be issued a further voucher to cover this cost.

Please note that each UAT-UK test, for 2025 entry, will only run over two test days per test sitting. Any rescheduling is subject to test centre availability. You should do so as early as possible to avoid disappointment. If you cancel a test booking after the registration deadline, you will not be able to book another slot.

If you are no longer able to attend your test due to illness, injury or personal circumstances outside of your control, you should refer to the Special Consideration Policy and contact the UAT-UK office about this as soon as possible.

Important Note for Candidates

We can’t guarantee a candidate’s first choice of test centre in all cases. However, test booking availability is monitored closely so that candidates can sit within a reasonable distance from their home or school address. Outside of the UK, candidates may need to travel further within their country.

For UK candidates, if there is a test centre that you can travel to, within 40 miles, we advise that you book and pay for your slot. If you check back regularly on the Pearson VUE site, new slots might become available due to cancellations, and you can reschedule your test free of charge until 48 hours before your scheduled test time.
