Why bother? There are a team of techs watching the system crashing around them. These are the same team of techs that told AAMC suit-and-tie types that they needed more hardware and should have a distributed system of folks logging in by time zone. They were listened to, ignored, and exactly what they predicted would happen is happening.
well said ...
 
Hmmm... I may try later.

I realize that I don't know where the SDN doom-and-gloom originated about having to register within the first 20 minutes or you won't get a seat. There still seem to be seats available for January in my area...
 
Is it a bad idea to consider registering later in the day or will all the seats already be taken in a couple of hours?
i doubt anyone will get on for a few hours ...

Ij ust happened to be up since my husband left for work early and I usually have to get up early to let out my dogs ... take a break and relax. I'm sure we'll be here awhile 😎

certain areas will fill up fast as there are limited seats in testing centers and certain dates some pre-meds might want ... but I'm sure that everything will work out as long as people don't mind traveling within 90 miles or so ...

i only have 1 testing site within 90 miles, and considering it's the day before easter, I don't want to travel further..:scared: :scared:
 
And I was looking forward to going back to bed after I had registered, oh well. I hope this doesn't take hours because I have things to do today!
 
anyone know anything good to do while we are waiting...and how much longer are you all going to wait before giving up?

I feel your pain, I'm in the same boat.

Same here, sort of. While there are a few testing centers within my radius (although not too many, considering I'm in upstate NY), I won't have a car, so I'm hoping to get a ride with someone else from my school who's taking it, so I don't want to be stuck with a test center no one else chose.
 
when she said that everything was working fine at 8:45, that was wrong...the website was super slow then and barely working...that is not "working fine" in my opinion
