The following guidance applies to Functional Skills English and Maths onscreen tests and Digital Functional Skills assessments.
Any test booking amendment made through Edexcel Online requires at least 2 hours between the current time and the start time of the booking. This processing time is required by our systems to reserve a new test for you.
Edexcel Online will not permit a change to an existing test booking if the current start time is within the next 2 hours. You will also be unable to change a booking time to start within the next 2 hours.
To delete or amend a booking scheduled within the next 2 hours the learner must be marked as absent by either Marking A Candidate Absent (Classroom/LAN) or Marking A Candidate Absent (Offline), depending on your testing setup.
You can then re-book the test once 24 hours has elapsed since the start time of the original test booking, for more information, please see the following article Onscreen Testing: Re-booking Tests for Absent Learners.
If an onscreen test booking requires an amendment, the following changes can be made to any live booking:
- Venue: Onsite/Offsite
- Test Date: dd/mm/yyyy
- Test Time: Any available time slot in 30-minute increments
- Additional 25% Time: Permitted only if an Access Arrangement has been made and approved
If the amendment you require is not listed above, then you will need to delete the booking and create a replacement booking.
Please note: amendments cannot be made if the test package has already been downloaded. The booking will have to be deleted by marking the learner as absent and a new booking made.
To amend or delete an onscreen test booking on Edexcel Online, please follow the detailed instructions below:
