The registration will open sometime on Nov. 2. For more information on test dates, locations, and registration guidelines check their web site.
Seating can be limited at some testing centers and dates, so we highly recommend signing up early. That way you are more likely to be able to go to a relatively nearby testing site on the day you choose.
