Has anyone taken the New York (Long Island) NCLEX-RN recently? If so, how long was your appointment waiting period??

I took the NCLEX-RN for NYS in Staten Island on May 1st. I got my ATT at the end of January and had scheduled for March 28th, but had multiple options throughout February and March. My first test got canceled because of covid-19 and the earliest I found at first was June 3rd. What I noticed by checking Pearson almost daily is that exam dates did open up frequently and I slowly moved my date up to May 1st. I actually could have found even closer dates but by the time I found them they would have been less than a week after rescheduling and that just seemed like an anxiety bomb.
I don't know if this was helpful, but basically if your first date is super far out study to take the exam at any time and keep looking for for closer dates to snipe if you're in a rush to test.

Yes, thank you. Did you pass??
I got the full 130 questions, but I passed. I actually wrote in some detail some of the information I was trying to look up while anxious prior to the exam based on my point of view here:
