You can't schedule it before submitting your assignment, it's a prerequisite.

I got the answer from Thomson Prometric.

Yes, you can register and schedule the essay exam before you upload, but you have to upload your archive file before you actually take the essay exam.

FYI ... I actually just scheduled an exam for the end of December even though I have not submitted my project yet.

Just took my exam today. Uploaded my assignment on Monday and it was a painful experience. My file is only a bit over 1MB and I got some ODBC error. I wish they learn from those photo upload sites.

Mike,
Can you share your experiences from the exam itself? Obviously I don't expect you to tell me the specific essay questions but maybe some general pointers?
Cheers,
J.

I printed out my choices.txt and reviewed it before the exam to review my design decision. Sure enough, it asked why you made certain decision. You don't need to study or anything. If you write the code, you should be able to answer those questions. Questions like how did you this or that? Basically to verify that you actually write the code.
