Default Examination Center Confirmation

Just received my exam center confirmation with my candidate number of 01022. Fair enough, except for the fact that a month or so ago I received acknowledgement of my exam registration with a candidate number of 00611. Anyone else have this issue?

Did you double check
  • Exam number on both?
  • Exam date on both?
  • Full name on both?




I'm sure you did . . . but, you never know.

I have received no communication whatsoever. Are we supposed to have something in hand by now?

Haven't received any communication too.

But the CAS did email me saying they had trouble mailing stuff to my work adress. I suppose it was my candidate ID letter.

My colleagues did receive their candidate ID a few weeks ago.

Yes, they are the same
Yes, they are the same
Yes, they are the same

Exam center is the same as well. Only difference is candidate number.

Why do some of you have a confirmation and/or document in hand whereas some of us (like me) are under the impression that the information blackout lasts until 3 weeks before the exam?

Did you register online? I think the CAS may have different processes depending on how you register. My company always submits through snail mail

I haven't gotten anything yet, I think. I did call them up and I am signed up and everything, but it makes me nervous. What about the good old days when you got your candidate ID# sooner?
