Good Morning!
I made a phone call to the test center in Hawaii yesterday.
I’m hoping to sit for the exam on the first week of August. But the calendar on the website of Hawaii Test Center was all blank, and I couldn’t make it to schedule my exam date. So I called.
nn: me
stf: staff of the test center in Hawaii over the phone
nn “”Can I schedule my exam date with this phone call?”
stf “Sure. Give me the date.”
nn”First, AUD in August 1st, and then …”
stf ”August? Well… um…. Could you hold on a minute?”
(left on hold a couple of minutes)
stf “Testing window of August isn’t open yet. The (scheduling for) the (test) window is open 6 months earlier. So you can call us again in March.”
nn “February, March, April, May, June, July… ah. 6 months. I see. That’s why I couldn’t make it on your website. So am I to understand that nobody can make reservation for August seats until March 1st?”
stf “Correct”
I’ll schedule my exam dates in March on the website.
Ps) If you are to call them, 8:00 a.m. is the best, I think. They answer my call without delay whenever I call them at (JPN hour) 8 :00 a.m. I asked the staff about this, and he said the line is very busy from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. (JPN hour)
