This may just be a rumor all together, but I heard that the New Orleans REC allows you to bring your own Bowditch 2 in when you sit for your exams. I was curious if anyone else might have heard this.
Doubtful, but you could always just call/email them. I did with my REC to verify if they had the 2019 or 1981 version of bowditch in the test room. (Answer was both)
