So CTPresident, to actually ANSWER your question (ß jokingly nudges Mr. Ciarfello). Yes, the system is smart enough. I had tried to schedule a date too far out previously and it wouldnt let me do so. It wasnt specific in the message (i.e. it didnt tell me that I was scheduling too far past my written), it merely wouldnt let me schedule it.

Candidates who do not pass must re-attempt the lab exam within 12 months of their last scored attempt in order for their written exam to remain valid. If a candidate does not pass the lab exam within three years of passing the written exam, he or she must retake the written exam before being allowed to attempt the lab exam again.

Sorry to ask a non-study related question, but just want to make sure all my ducks are in a row: I wrote the written exam on the 9th of May last year, and booked the lab for the 9th of November this year. That's exactly 18 calendar moths. So it should be good, right? I haven't tried booking for a later date, so I don't know if the booking database is clever enough to tell you, you've booked for a date that's out of the valid range. If it is clever enough, then I should be good to go, cause it allowed my booking. I'm just afraid it's not, accepts my booking, but when the time comes, they tell me: "Well sorry, you should have taken the lab WITHIN the 18 month period". I'm sure it should be OK, but paranoia is setting in, and I guess, I just want some reassurance from anyone who has the facts. Thanks!
