How far in advance should you schedule the test date?

Just noticed that this was never really posted in this forum. Also, based off other threads was wondering people's preferences as to the center to take this at (not so much for which is easier for content, but which center has an easier way to read the exam, ie. Prometric, etc.). Thanks!

I always follow the same formula. When I think I am ready, I schedule for a month later. I have yet to finish a test NOT in the very high 900's. I just don't trust my knowledge enough I am told, which is why when I feel confident I give myself that extra month to be sure.

I usually Schedule the exam for a day or two after I decide im ready to take it, then I spend the night before and morning of the Exam Cramming. Probally not the best approach, but seems to be working so far.

i usually pick a short window of less than a week after i feel very comfortable in my knowlegde about the subject.. usually after about 2 or 3 months of studying and a final cram 3 days before test

I have scheduled tests both a week or so out and the day of. Although I did better on the test that I scheduled ahead of time, but I also had more time to think and over think and sweat it out. You can schedule your test when ever you want. My first test I walked into the testing center and scheduled and took the test right then. It's up to you and what you feel will work for you. -cg
