What do I do? NTS procedure went wrong.

FAR

30 days ago, I applied for an NTS to get the evaluation started. At the time, I was still enrolled in two classes, so I obtained a Certificate of Enrollment (COE) for each class and submitted them accordingly. I even talked with a NASBA team member to make sure that I would meet the requirements to get an NTS. Come to find out earlier this week that the COEs didn't work. I am all the way through Becker for FAR and was planning on taking the exam in 2-3 weeks. I work in public accounting and really wanted to take the exam before busy season, as my work schedule already has roughly 65-70 hours for the first week of September. I don't know what to do. I don't think I'll be able to take it in the fall, and I don't want to wait until after busy season because I know I will forget loads of content. Is there any hope for the eval process and getting my NTS to be all set within the next 4 weeks? I now have my degree, so there won't be any issues getting my NTS this time, but I worry about how long the process will take, as I've heard it has taken some people 8 weeks. I'm ready to take my last simulated exam, but don't want to if I'm not gonna be able to sit for 2 freakin months. Any tips would be super appreciated.
