Many countries do what you propose with the result that getting a test can be a nightmare with waits of several months.
i am an examiner in JAA land...the system that yamada suggests of central application ( the authority does not permit personal approaches to examiners ) and we are paid by the authority...works perfectly well here.
i usually a) call the candidate immediately i get his/her papers...b) ascertain when would suit them...and c) usually ( if they are ready which often they are not ) do the tets within a matter of weeks or in a lot of cases on the following weekend.!!
months...???
as far as impartiality is concerned...that should be beyond question.
