However, people do call in sick, go on vacation, and occasionally leave their desks. Also, faxes go astray, and mail does get lost. We would prefer to have an application in hand a week before the exam is administered. We promise to do our best to handle all applications and have them entered by test day.

Yes, at the discretion of any chapter-appointed proctor, they MAY choose to be available to test an individual. While this is an option, it is not one that is seen as being commonly available. It takes almost as long to test an individual as a group, and the same preparation is required. The proctor is required to load special software, provide a quiet, secluded testing area, and be available to ensure that good testing practices are enforced.
