If no one else was complaining.. you bought this one..

The only option is to go to another school or talk to the school there about allowing you to finish.. whenever you can (Weekends etc) until you can test out.

Or, you can go pay for another school

If other's complained you have a good shot at being let back in ( after fumigation) . If your the only one that had them then you may have picked them up somewhere and then it's your problem. The school may even bill you for fumigation!
Try talking to them, right now tho they hold all the cards and you really have nothing to bargain with. Sorry but that the way it is.

You should have gone to a motel. Don't want to hear that you were too broke! WHY do people wait until they are dead broke to get into this business? What makes people think this is some kind of "last resort" charity school? Renting a truck to take your test will cost you MORE than the motel would. You should have told them you had bedbugs and MADE them move you... or let you sleep in one of the trucks! You'll be sleeping in one for years to follow!

I'm NOT insensitive. But, pulling out of an 8 week school with only TWO days to go... is just stupid! Wait.... you mean the school was MORE than 8 weeks? Mine was FOUR! What did you pay? Your research leaves much to be desired. Seems like you don't really NEED "practice." You just need to pass the test. And that is expensive when done "a la carte."
