I found a reference that 1600 applicants declined the mandatory testing from July-October 2011. Meanwhile 7000 applicants underwent testing, of which 1% failed.

I haven't been able to find monthly figures for before, during, and after -- so I, too, would like to see kwillet's data.

This is heavily slanted, but I believe their numbers are factual.
