To withdraw and receive a partial refund, you must submit the Take One! Withdrawal Form to NBPTS within 60 days of the order date. The refund excludes the nonrefundable materials fee of $100. If you make a withdrawal request after the 60-day limit, you will not be subject to a refund.
If you are unable to complete your entry by the deadline, you have the option to defer. Through the deferral process you can extend your deadline and score release date by one year.
If you choose to defer, you must notify NBPTS of your decision before the material entry submission deadline of April 15.
