<p>D has an appt to take GRE’s Monday morning. Southern NE is slated to get up to 2 feet of snow and blizzard conditions between Sunday night and Monday night.</p>
<p>Test site is 1 hour away. Too late to reschedule.</p>
<p>What can she do? I would think she would call the test center Monday morning and see if anyone made it to the office.</p>
<p>I’m expecting a hard time (given call last week about impending storm–“NO, we never close”—yeah, right), and a forfeiture of her fee.</p>
<p>Not too happy, but will not let her risk life and limb driving in a blizzard just to save a few bucks.</p>
<p>The testing company may either cancel or at least transfer fees to another date. Not GREs, but for SAT son scheduled to take exam at private school 45 minutes away. All SATs in state cancelled due to blizzard-except at the private school where many students were boarders. They told me they would never cancel when I spoke with them the day before the exam. The College Board worked with the situation after a few phone calls. Agree no test is worth the risk and it may well not happen. Good luck!</p>
<p>I had that happen to me a number of years ago when I took the exam. I called the test center and the staff person said she was just looking over the list of people slated to take it that day, to see how many wouldn’t make it. She had me call the national number and the person there had me send in proof that there had been a big storm. In my case I sent in a printout from our state highway department showing a status of “Emergency Travel Only” for the highway between my town and the test center. Once they received that, I was able to reschedule at no charge.</p>
