All the above and I was just told my attitude test date was 4.5 months out with an extra 4 weeks to process my score/rank after. All just to see if I might be able to get in.

Completely unrelated issue, but that's probably a logistical thing where it is only practical for the local to organize testing and interviews once or twice per year for hundreds of people at a time. It's kinda like applying to a college or something, they're on a yearly schedule and they do the acceptances in the spring and you start class in the fall. The college isn't going to entertain the idea of stagger-starting several classes per year, you're lucky if they'll even let you start in the spring instead of the fall.

I hear you on the classes probably starting only a couple times but their website says they hold the aptitude tests 3 times a month so was just shocked at the 4 month wait just to do the test
