CPNE...weekdays or weekends?

[fry.girl]

I have an Excelsior question...is the CPNE test offered during the weekdays?And if so, would needing a weekday schedule make getting an opportunity to test more difficult? Anyone here test on a weekday?

Thanks,

Cheri :)

I may be wrong, but as far as I know all CPNE testing is done Friday through Sunday. Friday is the lab simulation testing, Saturday is your PCS testing, with lab re-do's if necessary, and Sunday would be your last PCS and a PCS re-do if necessary. I haven't heard of CPNE testing during the week. I could be wrong though....(Me?? Wrong???? that would be a first!:rotfl: )

I did weekday testing in Atlanta. They were so backed up with CPNE dates that they added some weekday testing dates. This actually got me in sooner than if I had done weekend testing. I suggest calling the sites you want to go to and asking them if they are offering this option. If so, put yourself on that list then and there.

Thanks lgflamini...I read somewhere in some Excelsior information that CPNE was done on the weekends and sometimes during the weekdays, but I did not know how common it was to find a weekday schedule.

Some sites offer occasional weekday scheduling for those with religious reasons for not being able to test weekends. After the needs of those individuals are met if they have further openings they open up the mid-week test dates to others.
