The number of candidates in a particular geography was only one of the criteria used to determine the international locations for the Exam. For the first wave of countries, we chose based on the above criteria
We decided to focus on a small number of countries and expand slowly so that we can gauge success and ensure that all candidates are given the same opportunity to receive a thorough and fair Exam, no matter where they test. It is also worth noting that at this time, there is no specified timeframe for expanding the program beyond the five initial countries.
