My first test experience..

[QUOTE=Chebasaz]Originally when I started taking CLEP's, the local testing center only scheduled twice a month as well, and would only allow you take one CLEP per day. Needless to say, after doing the math I figured I'd be graduating in 2012 hilarious

Keep on the testing center, and explain why it's important to you. After the sixth straight week of me bugging them everyday, they finally caved and let me take two CLEPS a day, and then three, and finally as many as I could take before it closed for the night. I also went on a mad advertising campaign and got other people to sign up for CLEPS and DSST's. Due to the sudden and *cough* unexplained increase of requests, they increased the frequency to every weekend. By the time I finished my first degree's requirements, they were having it every weekend and every other Wednesday.

The point of this ramble is to say: Don't give up on testing just because of a bad experience with the testing center. If you can't find another one within easy driving distance, then work with the center personnel. Some testing centers are an afterthought for campuses. You may need to go above and beyond in order to get the testing environment you want, but in the end it's worth it.
