Reschedule and refund rules
Pearson's rules are the same everywhere (cancellation and rescheduling policy, last updated 17 September 2026, and refund policy). You can reschedule free while more than 14 full calendar days remain. Inside 14 days the Reschedule button disappears, so you must cancel and book again. A cancellation more than 14 days out refunds 100%, between 14 and 7 days 50%, and closer than that nothing.
Pearson may allow a free reschedule for illness or a family emergency at its discretion, if you submit the Request Emergency Reschedule form with evidence no later than 72 hours after the appointment. More in our PTE reschedule, cancel and refund guide.
| Time left before the test | Reschedule | Refund if you cancel |
|---|---|---|
| More than 14 full calendar days | Free | 100% |
| 14 days down to 7 days | Not possible: cancel and rebook | 50% |
| Less than 7 days | Not possible: cancel and rebook | None |
