Hello @RajivBoolellHi All, is there anyone on the forum taking the test in France who would have any information? The situation is more than dire here and I see no announcement on the Garp website. The latest news do not look good at all.
o I won't be switching the exam location. Too risky. All our provinces are experiencing increasing COVID infections.Are you thinking of changing the exam centre? Although it might be bit risky!

Isn’t January the peak of the flu season, i really hope it takes place in Jan, i deferred my part 2 to May. At least i will get results in March and prepare for part 2 in May. Hope it works out as planned. Only way i can see this happening is booking off hotel rooms like how cpa did it.
If you go to Garp's site - after the oct exam.....the first postponement was Toronto, tells you there are easily over 100 ( If i were to guess, at a min 500 ....CFA 5000 take, 10% for FRM is a good guestimate). I wouldn't bet on the exam happening in Jan, you are correct its peak flu season + holiday season + new years and if people go out like they did recently, the infections peak around mid Jan. Looks like you have a solid plan ....i would recommend to be ready with a contingency plan ( of the exam getting moved from Jan to March maybe? who knows if it directly takes us to May). My 2 cents. ( Yes it is very discouraging for those who have put in lot of efforts but i guess that is the very reason why this is called "pandemic" vs just an outbreak). Good Luck!
Maybe I am confusing something, but october exam in some countries was postponed to Jan 16 and now I see some Nov exams also postponed to Jan 16. Don't they have different curriculums? How is that possible?UPDATE: OCT 27, 2020

@SjegatheGood news
How will GARP have different curriculums for part 1?Yes, same curriculum in 2021 for 2020 delayed candidates.
Someone at GARP also told me that even if candidates are delayed further into 2021, they will still be tested on the 2020 books.
