Choose the action you actually need
If you still need the test but cannot attend the appointment, check the reschedule option first. If you no longer need it, review cancellation and the refund shown for your booking. Do not cancel a place merely to inspect another date: check availability and the consequences before confirming either action.
Find the correct booking
Use the OET account for your examination, not your OETAce practice account. For paper, find the application and its defer action. For computer or OET@Home, open My Bookings and the reschedule option. Confirm whether you are moving the whole booking or only the Speaking appointment. Take a copy of the updated confirmation for your own records.
Check the deadline and charge
The official rescheduling instructions list paper changes up to 23:59 on the day before the test, and computer/OET@Home changes up to two days before the first sub-test. Fees depend on timing, location and format. Once a component has been taken, do not assume the remaining components can be moved. Follow the policy linked below for exceptional situations.
Before you confirm
Read the new component dates, local time, venue and profession. Recheck your application deadline and expected results timetable. A new date may change travel plans or the time left to supply English evidence. Keep the new booking confirmation rather than relying on a calendar note.
Keep preparing for the changed date
Use a free timed Reading test or Listening test, then review unfamiliar errors. Adjust your study plan around the new appointment instead of repeating remembered answers. Further practice passes are separate from OET examination fees.
