# Move an application to another exam

`change_exam_application`

- Writes
- Needs confirmation

Moves one existing application onto a different exam — a different session, language or category — keeping the same application. Pass the application_id and an exam_id from find_exams_for_me called with for_application_id set to that same application. The first call answers a summary and a confirmation value and changes nothing. An application that has been sat, is under way or is past cannot be moved, and the platform refuses it whatever the list said.

- **For**: Students
- **Needs**: Read and write access (`mcp:write`)
- **What it changes**: **Writes.** The first call only shows what would change and returns a confirmation handle. Nothing changes until the agent calls again with that handle, after you agree.
- **Repeating it**: Not safe: the same call twice can change data twice.

## Inputs

- `confirmation`string

  The `confirmation` value from this tool’s own `confirmation_required` answer. Send it back with exactly the same other arguments to go ahead; never invent one.

The server refuses a call that carries any field not listed here, and says which one.
