Don't know if this is appropriate to post here or in another section - please advise, if it isn't. Can candidates post about the exam experience in this thread along with WHERE they took the exam? I - and other candidates I am sure - would like to know about what an exam from GARP during the...

I was stating my frustration with the whole situation - curriculum changes being one aspect of that frustration. No disagreement with you intended. I just think GARP should be aware of some of these...realities.

Ok, but if someone defers because they are afraid for their lives because of the virus...they should not be penalized. Is the 2021 curriculum published yet?

GARP should freeze the curriculum for 2020-2021. Candidates should not be disadvantaged due to the pandemic, if they have already studied based on the 2020 readings...

Lagos, NIgeria I can understand. There are violent protests going on and a forced curfew as well. How is the situation in Milan?

Since when is there an exam site in Ottawa? According to GARP, there is only Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary...? https://www.garp.org/#!/exam-sites I am thinking of changing my test centre to either Calgary or Vancouver, depending on how the October and/or November exams go there...

Same thing occurred for several of us here in Montreal, Canada. Hotels said the exams were cancelled, but upon calling GARP, we were notified that they were still on. GARP had said "we will notify you in the next 2.5 weeks, if there is a cancellation at your location." back 2.5 weeks prior to...

Anyone from Calgary or Vancouver taking the part 1 or part 2 exams? Have you heard anything about the venues there?

As I understand, the CPA exams in Montreal did this in early September, in the SAME hotel GARP had scheduled the FRM exams - right before we went into lockdown 2.0 here. Basically they blocked off 1-2 hotel floors and had proctors patrol the hallways with the hotel rooms open so that they could...

Online dashboard for anyone delayed from October to January still see October 24 on their Dashboard?

I only see a defer option, but that does not work either, since the deadline (when I click on it) is March 1 2020. Maybe it just hasn't been updated or GARP is not permitting changing test centers (more likely) due to COVID. I really hope that everything is under control in January and we can...

As a result of all the delays, I think GARP should add a bonus reading to the 2020 curriculum about high impact, low probability events. ;)

How do you change your testing center location? I don't see anything on my GARP dashboard for this. Only Defer exam.

Is anyone here registered for a Montreal or Toronto NOVEMBER 2020 exam? If yes, can you share any insights from discussions you have had with the venue for your exam (if your admission ticket is available...) or communications from GARP? I am curious to see if those exams go forth and what a...

That is highly likely as well...

Just saw it too. I agree with the above comments from @dciobanu - different localities potentially warrant different exam dates. For instance, August would have been PERFECT for most places in Canada. Very disappointed about the last minute effort...but, at least there is more time to study now.

I called GARP again today and they said that "As of now, the Montreal Exam is going ahead as planned. If there are any changes, we will announce them in the next 1-2 weeks. We do expect to make an announcement in the next week or two." However, the hotel still insists that all events there are...

Based on the last three pages of this thread, I feel as if Canadians are the only people writing these exams. :p;)

CBT test centres are just as likely to be closed as a result of a lockdown as in person venues for paper based exams. I am in MTL and I printed my October admission ticket yesterday. I am still able to access it online and my exam date is still listed as October 24. However, as with Walli26...

I called GARP and they were unaware of any "new" developments in MTL, but said they would get back to me. I e-mailed the hotel and am waiting to hear back...But, I think you are right. Hotel front desk clerk said that in September they hosted the CPA exams by blocking off entire floors and...
