As a co-founder of Rising Star Promotions with Ed back in 2006, I feel compelled to speak about the exam you all just experienced.

Have any of you heard how Tuesday excusal will work for both the 7am, and noon test times? I know in the past, you would be allowed to leave at 2000, but that was when the exam was at 1100. Then you were also excused post exam.
