Maybe playing devils advocate on this but surely GARP are considering that the May exam dates are at risk when considering the Coronavirus. Has anybody heard anything from GARP at all on this?
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but with all the commotion about the coronavirus does anyone know what GARP's stance is on this? The exam rooms are typically packed with a whole bunch of us candidates and depending the spread/infection rate of this virus, it might not be conducive to hold this exam in such a large group

Thank you @Evangelia_Mintzai2 for copying GARP's response. The wording of these two sentences is awkward to me: "And also we don't change the current exam schedule. However, We will let you know if it's necessary to cancel to defer the exam in May."
I think with the CDC's recommendation that for 8 weeks there cannot be a group larger than 50 people in room i
Hello everyone,
I emailed GARP with my concerns about the exam of May 2020 and they sent me this reply back:
Dear Candidate,
Thank you for your inquiry. Please note that GARP takes the safety of our candidates and proctors very seriously and that we are monitoring the coronavirus situation very closely. Please review the below press release which has outlined GARP's current response. And also we don't change the current exam schedule. However, We will let you know if it's necessary to cancel to defer the exam in May. The deadline to change your exam site is April 15th.

Please be advised that if there are any further updates that candidates will be notified. You may also review the GARP website for updates as well.
Management's recommendation is to check in again with GARP at the end of March to confirm the most current response to the situation.
Sincerely,
Damon Liu

I just wanted to point out the "Watch" feature at the top of every thread. If you click Watch on any thread in the forum, you have the option to receive email notifications every time someone posts in the thread. This will help to minimize the "posting to get updates" comments within the threadsJust writing here so I can follow news. Thank you.
@corinne.lieberman21I think with the CDC's recommendation that for 8 weeks there cannot be a group larger than 50 people in room is going to put a lot of pressure on GARP given the number of people in the exam room at a time. I will definitely continue calling and emailing until they give me an answer so us candidates don't spend 250 studying for an exam which is going to be cancelled.
