Having joined to this freelnacing site as a complete novice, I wanted to have an official something that helps me to prove my skills to the potential clinets. What was my first plan? It was to use the tests given in here and scoring in such a way that my score says it all. However,when I checked the availiabiltiy of those relevant tests at the begining of the last month; what did they say? " You have to wait til --/---/--- to retake the test"
C'mon I hadn't even taken the test! Not even ONCE But the upwok said that for me to RETAKE it I have to wait for another few months. Frustrating indeed.
I was only able to take three tests. But for me, the most imperative tests are passing by because of their unavilability.
So here I am at my last resort for help. Can anyone help me to sort this out?
Followings are the tests that push me this ugly message of "you have to wait... blah blah":
1.U.K English Grammar Test
2.U.S. English Punctuation and Mechanics Test
3.U.S. English Chicago Style Editing Skills Test (For Writing Professionals)
4.U.S. English Proofreading Skills Test (Chicago)
5.U.S. English Sentence Structure Test (For Writing Professionals)
6U.S. English Proofreading Skills Test (AP Style)
7.U.S. English AP Style Editing Skills Test (For Writing Professionals)
8.UK English Sentence Structure Test (For Writing Professionals)
9.UK English Oxford Style Editing Skills Test (For Writing Professionals)
In the attachments, you can find few of the frustrating and nerve-itching messages that I get everytime I want to do those above tests.

With all due respect, no amount of test-taking would convince any client who speaks even elementary English that you are a native or bilingual English speaker, your profile overview is complete word-salad.

Wow what a fabulous reply from a community guru.
Standing ovation for you for such a well detailed and well informed reply giving nothing but such a mudane and disgustingly stupid reply
Give this know-it-all woman a shiny award indicating her ability to help others in a very informatively jejune way.
I didn't ask about a review of my profile. Just wanted to know why the tests aren't working.

If ever I am asked to choose between Bad English and Bad Attitude, I would choose bad English.
Just saying.

I recommend you never display below average results on your tests, it looks bad.

@ @Goran,
You guys have reached me through a ticket but non of you guys have ever given me a reply for the matter in the past 5 days. It's only me who cranks the wheel there. And yeah, the problem still exists.
Anyway,thank you for looking into this issue in the first place:instead of spitting out some mundane replies like some have done; however, the problem still exists in full force. I don't want to strech this any further because I need to get this solved as soon as possible.
At least just give me a reply, explaining what's going on.
Truly appreciate your participation here in this matter

Marie, I couldn't be more happier than to hear what you said.
My pateience is slowly reaching towards that bursting point for waiting this long. 5 days is quite a long time period for someone who wants to kick it outta park.
Anyway thanks for the cooperation Maria. I want to get this solved as soon as possible.
Thanks again.
