I recently tried booking a slot for the SANE exam at my local library and was surprised by how long the wait was. The librarian mentioned that due to high demand and limited availability of certified examiners, the waiting list can stretch anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Some larger cities might have slightly shorter waits if they have more resources, but rural areas often face even longer delays. I ended up checking multiple libraries in neighboring towns and found one with a 4-month wait, which was better than the 6 months at my closest branch. It’s frustrating, but it’s a reminder of how important it is to plan ahead if you need this service.
