I personally do not think that this is possible -- at least I have never heard of a possibility to receive an extension.
However... please give it a try. Simply write to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., explain your situation (including your application number) and ask. It certainly will not hurt.
Does anyone know if we can ask for an extension beyond the 1 year mark from when our application got approved to when we must take the test?
I ask because I don't feel comfortable before taking the new version of the exam in Jan 2016, but would require some time to study for the new test?
