guys am i cooked (PAT booking)
so i’m supposed to be sitting the PAT for oxford engineering. i applied before the deadline and i filled out the scheduling form for pearson vue and everything as i had to book directly because i had access arrangements. my condition is quite unique so after i booked it, i assumed i’d receive test booking confirmation once they’ve confirmed my access arrangements.
well, today the oxford admissions team on the oxford admissions test site let me know that pearson said that i’ll be receiving 3 hours on the PAT for my rest breaks due to my spinal injury from last year. i was like cool, do you happen to know when i’ll receive an email back about my admissions centre? and realised that i had never received further correspondence.
i contacted pearson vue customer services and they told me that i didn’t have an appointment despite me filling in the form linked on the PAT website for access arrangement bookings. i can’t help but hate myself. i sent them all the information i had via email and they told me that they’ll investigate for me. i also emailed my college about this and messaged back the oxford admission tests team on the site about this too. but it’s a friday, tomorrow is the weekend and with 10 more days to go i feel like i just failed myself for not catching this sooner.
i filled in the form before the deadline, my access arrangements were only confirmed today and i never received any test booking confirmation and i didn’t doubt it until now either because i was under the impression that it’ll be confirmed after my access arrangements are.
i worked so hard and this was my gap year application after suffering a spinal injury last year. does anyone have any guidance or advice? will they understand my circumstances and let me sit the test or is it looking unlikely? i practiced so hard for this test.
apologies if i sound nervous, probably because i am, i can’t help but think that i’ve just lost my chance when i’ve been averaging well in pat past papers.
i want to reiterate that i DID book it but for some reason there is no appointment?? what do i do
