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 customercare@pmi.org, 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?
