Scheduling Your Prometric Testing Appointment

If you applied to take the August 2026 NPLEX, you will receive a Pre-Registration email from Prometric with instructions for scheduling your testing appointment(s) approximately one week to ten (10) busiiness days after the application deadline. The email will be sent from registrations@isoqualitytesting.com. Follow the instructions provided in the email you receive from Prometric to schedule your testing appointment.

IMPORTANT!!!

NABNE is aware that some examinees have experienced scheduling difficulties during the initial scheduling period for the August 2026 NPLEX administrations. Reported concerns have included difficulty locating available appointments, appointments scheduled outside the published testing windows, and limited appointment availability in some areas.

06/11/26 Update

• Prometric will continue to hold the NABNE-reserved seats past the June 26th deadline and until the day of the exam, if needed.
• Prometric will waive or refund rescheduling fees for examinees who need to change testing appointments because of scheduling-related issues. Examinees seeking a refund of rescheduling fees should contact Prometric directly at smt-operationsteam@prometric.com.
• To increase scheduling flexibility, examinees may be scheduled up to 1.5 hours outside the examination start times published in the NABNE Examinee Handbook.

NABNE continues to work closely with Prometric to monitor scheduling activity and review appointment availabiity concerns as scheduling progresses. Scheduling for the August 2026 NPLEX administrations remains ongoing and appointment availability may continue to change throughout final scheduling.

Prometric manages testing appointment scheduling and scheduling support directly. Examinees who have received a Pre-Registration email but experience difficulty scheduling, cannot locate an available appointment, or continue experiencing unresolved scheduling difficulties should contact Prometric directly at smt-operationsteam@prometric.com.

Examinees who believe they did not receive a Pre-Registration email should review spam, junk, and filtered email folders. NABNE has recommended using a personal email address rather than a school-issued email address during registration because institutional email filtering systems may block automated emails containing scheduling links. If you have not received a Pre-Registration email, contact NABNE.

NABNE and Prometric will continue reviewing scheduling concerns and provide updates as additional information becomes available.
