It truly IS an inconvenience, especially after spending time on a site such as Straighterline which has so much flexibility. My son is on the Guardian scholarship with your site - he is ready to take his HR Management final and move on to the next course, but he can't take his next exam until Saturday - who wants to take an exam on a Saturday? But if he waits until Monday, that then throws off NEXT month's exam schedule and he'll end up missing out on one of the allowed exams. We can't pay $70 to open another exam because he's on the scholarship and his membership won't allow it. This is not how online learning should be. Your site should allow 2 exams per billing cycle - period. It shouldn't matter when a student takes those exams. This system is overly restrictive, overly convoluted, and seems designed to make things as inconvenient as possible for the student. We'd planned on paying for a 3 months membership after my son's scholarship concludes in December, but this issue is reason enough to pass. I strongly urge you to reconsider the way your exam schedule is set up and make it simpler and fairer for your members.
