  • 1.  Does anybody take exam in Massachusetts in the past three months?

    Hi folks,

    Both of my P1 and P2 have been cancelled more than twice. And even tough I reschedule them from May to June and then to July, they still got cancelled. Now I don't really know if I should keep rescheduling test. All my plan is interrupted. This is so annoying. 

    Kind want to know any MA candidate successfully took the exams?

    Thanks

    Bairen

    Hi Bairen,

    There is probably nothing more annoying than being prepared for an exam, only to have it cancelled.  This happened to me, and I was inconvenienced to drive 10+ hours out away from my hometown which has a Prometrics site, and stay in a hotel overnight in a remote area of the US that had Prometric seat availability.  

    The world has changed drastically, and the IMA needs to address the problem of scheduling and testing headon.  Having to cancel a firm exam date, just to see when other dates are available is an unacceptable practice which only benefits Prometric, not the candidate.  Imagine if airlines engaged in such a practice. Everyone would cease to use that airline and instead migrate to more customer focused/engaged airlines. Added angst and frustration of exam testing unknowns are added layers of stress to already natural stress exam levels that can be mitigated with an effective testing offering strategy.

    I personally have solutions I could recommend that would assist in this problem solution, though it would likely be more costly than the Prometric solution.  Just my thoughts.

    Hi Brian,

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Can't agree anymore. With all the money, time and energy we've put in, there is nothing else we can do except for hanging there. Guess I would  have to keep looking for open window and hanging there. 

    Wish you the best luck to your exams.
