Site limitations
Due to limitations at some test sites, SRTA cannot always accommodate the number of candidates who wish to examine at a particular site. Exam assignments begin with the Friday sessions. Depending on the number of candidates registered for a specific exam site, Saturday examination sessions may be held or may be cancelled.
SRTA assigns cubicles on a first come, first served basis with the examination site’s current students given first priority. Therefore, a site may become full prior to the application deadline.
SRTA cannot guarantee placement at any examination site. Applying early may increase the probability of placement in the preferred site. Cubicles may become available after the deadline date if other candidates withdraw or become ineligible. Applicants may contact the SRTA office after a deadline date has passed to find out if any openings are available.
SRTA reserves the right to cancel an examination if an insufficient number of candidates apply for that date and examination site.
