Changing or cancelling a test date

Do you want to take part in the 21+ entrance exam or change your test date? On this page, you’ll find all the information about registering, changing, or cancelling a test date, as well as the associated costs.

Changing a test date

It is possible to change your test date to one later in the same academic year. Send your request to us via email prior to the deadline for registering and deregistering.

If you want to change the test date after the deadline for registering and deregistering, it will only be possible if there are exceptional circumstances. Request a change through email. Include documentation explaining why you wish to change your test date. The 21+ entrance exam team will determine whether the documentation is sufficient to approve a change of test date (if possible). It is not possible to reschedule to a test date in the next academic year.
