How does the "First come First serve" principle apply to Scheduling?
The earlier one registers and makes payment; the earlier will be able to schedule the test. And the earlier one schedules the test, higher are the chances of getting preferred date, time and test location.
Why should a test taker register early?
Test taker will be able to schedule the test on his/her preferred date, time slot and Test Centre only if seats are available at that Test Centre for the date and time slot being sought (First Come First Serve basis). As test takers will be required to schedule their test after registering through an online application system, the earlier they register, the sooner they will be able to schedule their test. Test takers may not get their preferred date, slot and Test Centre if other test takers have already taken up the available seats for that particular date, slot and center. In such a situation, test takers would need to look at other options of date, time slot and Test Centre and schedule their test accordingly. An early test scheduling helps in planning for retake attempts within the testing window, should it be required, as a minimum gap of 15 days are required between two attempts.
