Based on scheduling trends, if you try to schedule after August 1, you may find that there are no available testing appointments through the end of the year unless there are cancellations.
The graph below is an estimate of test appointment availability as of the date at the bottom of the graph. Please note that the graph does not indicate availability at any one location.

Additional appointments may become available 60 days in advance of a test date. More information is available in the Applying for the Test and Scheduling Your Test Date section of the Bulletin of Information.
