That said, a general rule is that one cannot take two tests within a year of each other, with the exception of 5th to 4th kyu.
Wow -- if I remember correcly, I took four kyu tests in the span of nine months when I first started...

(No, I wasn't training at a USAF affiliated dojo...)

At our dojo, people sign up to test for kyu ranks. I believe the kyu tests occur about every four months or so with the 5th, 4th, and 3rd kyu tests happening on a different evening (and with a different examiner) than the 2nd and 1st kyu tests.

We don't have sign-up sheets for dan exams, though. Our head instructor basically just tells you if/when you're testing -- and being 1st kyu isn't something that's always necessary. Some people get told a while in advance (a couple of months) that they'll be taking a dan grade testing, while others may receive 24 hours' notice...
