Official Expert Answer
Hi Lucas, good and important question! Here's the information specifically for NRW: 📌 Basically: A postponement of the KP date is not provided for after the official invitation to the exam. The Ärztekammer Westfalen-Lippe (ÄKWL) bases the appointment on the desired time frame you specified when registering. Once the date is set, it usually cannot be changed. You can also find all official information directly here at the ÄKWL: https://www.aekwl.de/fuer-aerzte/weitere-themen/kenntnispruefung/ Withdrawal from the appointment is only possible in justified exceptional cases and after prior consultation with the ZAG and ÄKWL, e.g. in the event of illness (with a medical certificate). Without permission, the attempt is considered not passed and the examination fee will be retained.
