Over a year?  I took it 3 times from January to April this year.  I took it
twice in San Jose which is the 2nd busiest location.  Saying the wait list
is 1 year is pure hogwash.  If a company needs someone to take it within a
few months I know that most of the Asia locations and even Sydney frequently
has spots within 2-3 months.  I took my first attempt in Singapore and had
my 2nd attempt schedule for Seoul.  I live 45 miles from San Jose, but I was
willing to do what it takes to get the lab done without waiting too long.  I
paid for everything out of my own pocket.  So I don't want to hear excuses.
I used other locations and lab swaps to get my date.  All this crying about
the wait list is ridiculous.  If they would make the written test a little
harder and cut down the huge number of people qualifying for the lab we
wouldn't have this problem.  We wouldn't have unqualified people wasting lab
seats.  I was told by a proctor that roughly 1500 people pass the written
each month.  The problem starts there.
