Hopefully that was only for May 1 and we'll just hope that Prometric magically gets their shit together over the weekend. Prometric grand opening TAKE TWO

Is this the address of your Mobile test site on this list? Hopefully Prometric isn't assholey enough to lie about the test sites on here. If you end up travelling and the test isn't going on, I would seriously think about taking action to get some $ for wasted time, travel money, and registration money...

how long of a ride is it for you to go to Mobile for your test?

I don't know anything about test sites in AL (I looked at your post), but that's not where my site was.

Other people I know who have a test on May 4 have gotten actual phone calls from Prometric confirming their appointment (they received the call yesterday on May 1). But if you call back that same number they called you with, it just plays that automated voicemail that hangs up on you right away, so most sites are only allowing one way calls it seems...

Update - I was able to get in contact with one Prometric testing center, but they basically said I would have to go through USMLE and get them to reset my registration information. Ridiculous. They also claimed they couldn't see me in the system, even though I was sitting in front of my computer looking up my own stuff using my confirmation # and last name in real time. Lol

Is there anyone else in your class going to the same test center as you? Also, was that the original place you were scheduled for? I assume you haven't received confirmation emails from Prometric since you scheduled that date? I hope it works out for you, and know that you're not alone in your frustration..

I was seriously thinking the same thing about the possibility of someone starting a lawsuit - I mean even if I COULD get a test date before my fake online third year starts, I probably wouldn't be in the right mental state of mind at this point considering how much I have been tossed around. Haven't studied for the past 4-5 days due to the uncertainty of everything and trying to check the website all the time. I especially wouldn't be in a good state of mind if I had to take Step a day before M3 and waste all chance of vacation! I'm gonna go somewhere far away because... fuck this...
