That's crazy...
Anyone tried calling the in exhibition place in toronto regarding the November exam? I've been told to contact GARP directly, I've sent them an email but awaiting a reply for now. However, on checking the CFAI institute, they've postponed the December exams for the 37 affected locations. I am guessing the same for the November exam? Any insights on this?

Hi, I am from Malaysia and will be taking the exams on October, is there a deferral under consideration ? Given that the covid numbers in my country has spiked drastically over the past 2 weeks, albeit it being clustered.

GARP have emailed HK candidates informing them that the exam is taking place as expected on the 24th October but now at a new location.

Are exams in Europe been postponed or are they still expected as scheduled?
Hello @Susanna3890
All of the exams that have been postponed are listed in the original post of this thread here: https://forum.bionicturtle.com/threads/2020-exam-update-from-garp-updated-on-a-regular-basis.23454/. GARP is also posting all announcements here on their website: https://www.garp.org/#!/important-notices.

I think we have til Oct 15 to change to a different exam site. Seeing both MTL and TO are likely to be continued hotspots, there is the possibility to switch to the Calgary location still. Alberta has restrictions for non-essential travels though so we could be stuck in quarantine and unable to access the exam site. We could call the exam site in Calgary and ask what the travel advisory more directly.

Maybe a hypothetical but if the majority of sites are cancelled/rescheduled to January is there a chance that the other sites will also be rescheduled to January?

How do you change your testing center location? I don't see anything on my GARP dashboard for this. Only Defer exam.
@Eustice_Langham
Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing this. There are some countries/cities that do not have a high number of positive cases so those countries are not likely to postpone the exams. GARP has stated that they will post all announcements about postponements on their website. They are not providing us with any additional information other than what they are providing to candidates. We are having to check their important notices on their website to find out about any new announcements that they make. Whenever they make an announcement, I will continue to post them in this thread.
This is way too Risky!!!

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.

Under their FAQ, GARP says we have the option to change exam site in "My Programs". Here's the link: https://www.garp.org/#!/frm/frequently-asked-questions
I don't see the option to change testing site either. There is the option to click on "Email Us" if you would like to suggest a new test site; however, it is uncertain whether GARP will respond given the amount of emails they must be receiving from candidates.
