After successfully scheduling, Pearson VUE will send a confirmation email listing your examination date and time, the test center address, along with important policies for your review and information. Confirmation emails are sent for every schedule, reschedule and cancellation of examination appointments. If you do not receive a confirmation email, Sign In with your Pearson VUE web account and verify the status of your examination appointment, as you may not have completed all of the necessary steps.

You may cancel or reschedule online up to 24 hours before your appointment at no cost. Pearson VUE will send you a confirmation email when you schedule, reschedule, or cancel an appointment. If rescheduling, be sure that you complete all of the steps until the “Your appointment is rescheduled!” screen is displayed.

If you fail to cancel 24 hours prior to your appointment, or if you miss your appointment, arrive late or fail to provide adequate identification, you will forfeit your exam fee and will not be able to schedule a new appointment without paying the TPRA exam retest fee.
