When is my Attempt due?

 Dear friends,

I am registered as an article on 5th september 2007. My articleship period is 3.5 years. So my articleship would be over on 5th april 2011. Will i be able to give my final attempt in may 2011?

The eligibility criteria says the student must have completed his articleship 1 month before the first day of the month in which the exams are held ie 1st april. Will i have to waste 6 months cause of 3 days of articlehsip?

Help.
