The entire examination fee is forfeited if a cancellation is made after the
final date for filing for examination (January 4). If a cancellation is made
prior to the final filing date, a first-time fee of $250 is charged for administrative
costs, subsequent cancellations will be assessed a $500 fee. Notification of a cancellation must be received in writing in the ABP
office.
If a candidate is unable to appear for the examination because of illness,
consideration will be given to returning a part of the examination fee or
transferring it to the next examination, provided that a letter is received from
the candidate's attending physician at the time of the illness, indicating that
the illness prevented the candidate from appearing at the examination. This
information must be received within 60 days of the original test date.
It is the candidate's responsibility to notify the ABP of any change that may
affect a scheduled examination.
