So I was trying to take the proctored exam for Data Structures today and when I went to purchase the exam all the page says is what is below. Yet there is no link to purchase the exam. Is there a hard limit on exams that you can purchase? That would really suck as I have 2 courses I'm ready to take exams for.
Purchase an Additional Exam
With your plan, you currently receive 2 exams a month. If you have used those exams, you may purchase an additional exam for $70.
You've passed five exams in the last 30 days. Well done!
Please wait until your next billing cycle to take more exams, and contact support if you have questions.

Hmm, I am not much help here as I have two exams left for this month (I am taking both Today/Tonight!)
I'll then be taking two more, tomorrow night. So, we'll find out what the limit is, I have never taken more than 3 at a time.
The last time I took 3 in a row from Study.com was in Dec 28/2018 when I paid for an extra exam.
Would you mind attaching a screen shot, there maybe a menu or something we're missing...
College Accelerator Exams
You can take (or retake) two final exams every month of membership. You can retake an exam as soon as 3 days after your last attempt.
You have 2 exams left.

Well, if there is, that's good to know. I wonder if it's a new rule.

I’ve taken 5 in a month, but never tried for more so I never thought to check. Maybe they’re trying to keep people from raking up too many credits to fast and thus seem to illegitimize them? I don’t know. I’d try contacting support and see what they say.

I'm pretty sure that is a new rule since I have taken 6 exams in a single month, but that was last year.
I assume they put a limit on this to avoid any potential issues with schools who may question people completing too many courses in a short period of time.
They may also have done it for financial reasons, but that doesn't seem as likely. I'm sure they prefer folks paying $199 for two courses rather than $70 for one. But they could always just raise the price of the additional exams if that were the issue.

I wonder if it stops you if you've already been billed for the next cycle.

That's the strangest thing, I would have thought they wouldn't place a limit on the exams you can take. But seems they have updated it to 5 exams at most. That's what I usually recommend for SL/Study.com courses, about 5/month is the sweet spot. OP - did you try contacting Study.com to see if this was a new rule? Thanks
