I was applying for CS and surprised to find out that the dates before November are all gone!! I was so careless! I didn't pay close attention to the calender and thought the scheduling would be as easy as Step 1. But I do see several spots become available a couple of days before the exam date. Should I arrange for the exam like "two days" before the exam? Sounds ridiculous but it might be my only shot.

I had the same problem! It is shocking to see that you have to catch a spot months in advance, but I have noticed that 1-3 days before the exam a day becomes available, I was trying to reschedual mine so I monitored the calenders for a week. Sometimes the dates become available 1 week ahead, so keep checking and have a date in mind that you want to test on and as soon as it becomes available snatch it, because they don't last long.
Good luck!

I add a scheduling e-mail notifications and crazy monitor the scheduling date for two days, I got the date which I want, one month later.
there are cancel and reschedule happening all the time. In two days, there are 6 available seats during the period which I want. so, keep try.

Thank you everybody for your info!! I found out a couple of days ago that there was a problem with my medical diploma so my application for CS was delayed. I fixed it yesterday and ECFMG emailed me the permit today (so efficient!!). After monitoring the calender for several hours, I secured a spot on Aug 11. Even though I want to take the exam in July, this opening is still much better than nothing. I felt so relieved. Thanks again and go Match 2009!!
