I would bet it has to do with... MONEY. They probably have not reached the number of applicants needed to meet their financial wants/needs for the exam.

So let me get this straight, they lengthen the application period, raise the price so they can milk you for all you have because you wont be able to take it again till 2007....
I just wanted to make sure i was getting the point of it all.....
