pearson scheduling

[cheltoe]

does anyone know how pearson determines open testing spots? test times in december are open all day, however times in jan, feb, and march are at 8:00am only. i am wondering if more spaces open up closer to the actual date or if they are already filled up 3 months in advance!?

I think more times open up, it might have to do with how fast the early times fill up (so maybe if all the 8am slots fill they open more?) But this is just a guess! I have found that to be true at my center also, if I keep checking the open slots I can usually reschedule to a better time for me.

They fill 8a slots first because they need to determine how long the tester needs. After people schedule 8a, you will see 11a, 12n, etc open up. If you don't want 8a, schedule yourself an 8a spot then check back in a few days and reschedule your test. You might see an 11am spot open. I did this a few times.

thanks! i'll have to try that. with over an hour drive and time zone difference 8am is almost earlier than i can do.

I rescheduled tests and found out that you have to be pretty quick to get your desired time unless you like to start at 8 am. Try going on the website to change your date, time frequently each day. More than once, I saw times open up, apparently when someone cancelled.
