    I took my CompTIA Security+ exam here and had a pretty good experience overall. Especially for my…read morefirst time doing a career certification test at a center. I scheduled my exam the night before on the CompTIA website and was really relieved this location had next day availability. I arrived about 45 min early (not super necessary), but it gave me time to get familiar with the place. Some things future test-takers might want to know: - Parking: Lots of available parking when I went. I noticed there were some "reserved" spots; pretty easy to determine those spots. - Finding the entrance: Suite 100 is where Avarice Partners has an office, but there was no outside sign that day, even though their Yelp photos show it. The Avarice Partners sign was actually inside the suite that day (guessing it was because it was raining that day). The Suite 100 door was on the left side of their Avarice Partners sign picture on Yelp; the door was locked - there was a buzzer with a camera a few feet from the door. I just buzzed and let the front desk staff know I was there for testing. - Check-in process: Signed into the building on an iPad, took photos of my ID, then was informed I could wait in the waiting area if I'd like or I can do whatever I want outside (since I was ~45 min early). I returned when it was about 5 min before my time, and the Avarice Partners staff brought me through a mantrap and offered a restroom break first (nice touch; restrooms were only available after entering through the mantrap). Inside, check-in was smooth - signed a couple forms, had my photo taken, got to pick a locker to store my stuff, and the proctor gave me some basic instructions like raising my hand if I needed something (I didn't need anything though). - The testing room: I didn't get to sit in private cubicles/stations as they have pictured on Yelp - it was a long room with multiple stations along both walls. There were some form of dividers between each station, but I could still see other people. The noise level was fine; mostly just the hum of computers and HVAC. They had headphones at the stations and offered foam earplugs if I wanted them (I didn't utilize either). The room felt clean enough; not spotless or anything but adequate. - Taking the exam: My workstation worked fine. Some of the PBQs felt a little laggy, but that's probably just the exam software. When I finished, I returned the laminated note sheets they provided, got my printed score report, and the proctor walked me back out through the mantrap. Overall, very straightforward and smooth. Staff were helpful and professional. I'd definitely take another Pearson test here - easy parking, easy access, and no major issues.

    I took an exam here and the process was clear and smooth with the team at Avarice Partners!

They were really sweet despite being so busy, please consider taking your exam with Avarice Partners if you have the choice :)

    I engaged Vince about 4 months into my GRE prep. Prior to working with Vince, I had worked with one…read moreother tutor that was much too formulaic in his approach to the test. Vince tutored me via Zoom. His remote setup enabled us to have productive exchanges as he was equipped with technology that facilitated easy learning. I'm including this in my review because my previous tutor did not possess the necessary technology to properly conduct remote learning. More importantly, Vince worked with me to apply focus to my GRE study, directing me to the right materials--I had previously only studied 3rd party material. He also helped me to stay on track with weekly study plans that matched my time commitment. In our 90 minute tutoring sessions, we spent our time mostly discussing verbal topics. Most valuable was that verbal discussions with Vince built the necessary experience that enabled me to understand how ETS presents the logic in the TC/SE questions types and what ETS is looking for when presenting their RC question types. As a native English speaker, I had to re-engineer how I read the passages and questions presented in the GRE. My tutoring sessions with Vince helped me acquire the test taking "finesse" in the verbal section that I needed to go from scoring in the 70th percentile (May 2021 test) to scoring in the 96th percentile (July 2021 test). If you have the resources, I strongly recommend connecting with Vince or at least consider taking his online Verbal GRE prep course. Finally, some general test-taking advice re: the GRE. The GRE is a game and you're there to play its 80 little puzzles. One of the best pieces of advice I got from Vince himself: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test." This advice really resonated with me and I took it to heart, eventually attaining the score I wanted. So, to my fellow test taker: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test."
