Came here to take the GRE for grad school applications. Easy to find with google maps. Super close to Oakland airport. There was ample parking right in front of the entrance. Bathroom is clean and spacious. The lockers are kind of small. I brought my work backpack with my work laptop since I wasn't going straight home that day. I had to squeeze it in. There's also hangers if you want to hang up coats and any garments. Before you enter the test room, they have to scan you like you're at the airport. Same if you need to go on bathroom breaks. Originally they assigned me a seat that was right next to the window and sunlight was coming into the cubicle and it would have been super distracting and burned me. I told the staff to please assign me to a different seat because I'm sensitive to sunlight, and he told me I just have to sit where I'm assigned. I insisted again, and he said I should have requested accommodation. I told him, "I'm the one paying for this test, and sitting in this seat will make me uncomfortable." He conceded and assigned me to another cubicle furthest away from the window. While I'm glad he finally complied with my request, I don't understand what was so hard about reassigning me to another seat, especially since the original seat would have been a detriment to my test-taking experience (a test that I had to pay out of pocket too. This guy wouldn't have his job if it wasn't for test-takers like me). When driving into the parking lot, there's a slope that made my car jump, and I screamed "WTF?????" When I left, my car jumped again when driving down that slope, and I cursed some more. But hey, I got into my dream Master's program at my dream school, Brown University! read more

See all

I had a super positive experience taking the patent bar here! The entrance was easy to find and I was able to be seated and testing within ~15 minutes of arrival (which was before I was even scheduled to start). The computers worked well and things loaded quicker than I was expecting. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! I was there all day for my exam and they made it a very comfortable experience. read more

This is my second time at a Prometric Test Center. The other time was in June in SF, so having to test at Prometric Test Center here about 4 months later - I don't know if the rules changed or it is dependent on the test center. My one thing I would like to point out is that this place utilizes laminated sheets and dry-erase markers for taking down notes during the exam. I'm not used to such because I was writing down on regular papers with pen/pencil when practicing questions. The dry-erase pen requires me to write bigger, and takes way more time. I wasn't able to look back at what I wrote - such as reminder to go back to a question for something. Otherwise, the center is very nice. People are quick to log you in for the exam. My favorite is the availability of the water cooler. My brain need to stay hydrate during the exam! read more

Prometric Test Center - Water available! - Test Preparation Near Me - Alameda, California

If I can avoid being at any Prometric, I would because I hate standardized exams. That being said, this location was nice - massive parking lot, friendly staff, updated larger lockers that can fit a backpack (you might have to move some things around), and a water cooler. Entrance may be tricky to find if you don't know where you're going since the only signage is basically in size 20 font and the glass door was propped open by a small blue recycling bin. I also did not know this in advance but apparently "large puffer jackets" aren't allowed during the test (not sure if it's a hard requirement since they let me wear mine but they made a comment about it - so that's something to be aware of I guess) read more

Prometric Test Center - Large-ish lockers that can accommodate a backpack that isn't completely stuffed - Test Preparation Near Me - Alameda, California

This is my second (and hopefully last) time taking a test at Prometic Test Center in Alameda. First time, it was probably 5 years ago to take the GREs. I don't recall experiencing any issues then. More recently, I came to take my boards exam and again, did not have any issues. Staff were all nice and did a good job checking people in and getting people started in a timely manner. Facility wise, everything was clean, staff was sanitizing equipment, masks are enforced, noise cancelling head phone are provided, and most importantly my computer, mouse, and chair were all in good working condition. Small sized lockers are also provided, there is plenty of parking, and finding the suite was not difficult at all. I had a good testing experience and would recommend taking your exam at this location. read more

Best prometric test center! Staff were so nice and kind, so I was able to focus on my exam! I used one in San Jose before, but I had very bad experience there. I'm so happy to take my exam here! read more

Had an overall good testing experience here. However, I left my jacket at the location and called the staff who said they would put it aside and that I did not need to pick it up at any specific time. A few weeks later I call back and they say the jacket is not there and it was likely donated or thrown away without any apology or attempt to amend the situation. Very disappointed read more

Place is run smoothly for test-taking. Warning, if you have a morning appointment. Try to arrive 45 minutes early. There are not enough check-in people. Because everyone has to undergo a lengthy check-in process, each person can take about five to seven minutes. If ten people are ahead of you that is an hour wait. read more

Took the NPTE (5.5 hour test) here today and didn't have too bad of an experience. Easy to find with your phone GPS, adequate parking in the parking lot outside the building. Small couch in the lobby area if you need to wait. I recommend actually going EARLIER than your appointment time, if they're open and there's free computers, they'll let you start earlier (my test was scheduled at 8am but I got there at 7:20, I started my test at 7:30). This is especially good if you're taking a very big test that many people are taking (LIKE THE NPTE....) that have the same start time - the check-in process can take a long time if there's a long line of people waiting! You want to beat them all there and get started first. Check in process: make sure you bring an ID and a credit card with your name on it, they'll give you a locker with a key (tall lockers, my North face backpack fit comfortably in it). Bring food and water if you have a long test. They also have bathrooms nearby right outside the testing center suite, so that was really good. Noise-cancelling headphones are provided, and for scratch paper you're provided these laminated papers and expo markers. If you need more, you just raise your used ones up and a worker will come in with more. The computers were fine and I didn't have any technical difficulties, but there is sort of a lag when you press "NEXT" on the test - so just make sure you don't click twice and skip a question. All the workers were pretty polite, the check in process involves them sweeping you with a metal detector, checking your ankles, flipping your pants pockets, rolling up your sleeves, and inspecting your glasses (all standard). Fingerprinting as you come in and out, as well as signing in/out. Only con I can think of is if you get the middle row of computer cubicles, you're sharing a wall with the person across from you and all the cubicle walls are connected, if someone slams their table in rage, the whole unit will shake (I'm only specifically including this in here because my friend mentioned this like 3 times after our test lol) read more

Pathetic staff. Did not allow me to give my exam even when presented all the documents for my toefl exam. FO NOT RECOMMEND. Instead of helping a student they were creating my problems coz my maiden name was different from my driver license. read more

Seemed like they updated facilities since the older reviews. I took my HESI here along with people who were here for a variety of monitored tests (medical board renewals, engineering, GRE..) The good: -Plenty of parking, easy to find (just make sure you don't accidentally drive to the airport when the lanes split) -Organized -Friendly staff -no problems with score reports -clean bathrooms Things to be aware of: -come early if you have a lot of stuff to ask for a tall locker.. I only had car keys and they gave me a tall locker and someone else who came late had a giant back pack.. he had a hard time jamming it into a small locker -you can't wear jewelry, leave it at home so you won't have to take it off and put it into the locker -bring non perishable lunch, no fridges -computers were PCs and they kind of lag for a split second when you press next question (so wait a little before pressing next again so you don't accidentally skip a question) Specifics to me: -couldn't pause my test when going to the bathroom. And it was a process for leaving the room and coming back so that ate up time.. especially if there are people checking in/out before me. You have to wait. read more

Took the GRE here many months ago and I was treated with courtesy and respect. I strongly suggest to only bring minimal things. They do have lockers, so as long as there is one available, they'll let you store your stuff there. They check your ID, take your photo, wand you over, have you flip your pockets out, etc... No cell phones allowed so don't even bother bringing it or you'll just have to lock it in the locker. They are in the middle of nowhere amongst other buildings that all look the same. There are no stores or places to eat around there, at least I didn't see any. I went on a Saturday and there was plenty of parking and no traffic. Also new address alert: 1141 Harbor Parkway Suite 102 Alameda, CA read more

This is one of those places surrounded by nothing but trees, makes it a difficult to find when you're looking for a more useful landmark. Can you imagine asking for directions, "I'm looking for the tree with 18 branches, I was supposed to make a turn there, according to the Google Maps Street View." uhhhhh....... Once you locate the place, it's a pretty nice place. Plenty of free parking in the lot. There's a nice water fountain area amidst the business buildings. This testing site is better than the last one I went to (Oakland). People come here to take different exams at the same time, in the same room. There are lockers you can store belongings in. For some reason, I was told to fill out a confidentiality agreement, where I had to copy a section in cursive (not print). Man, I haven't used cursive in so long, could hardly remember it. Nobody else seemed to have to do this! It's quieter here, or maybe because I used earplugs this time. Luckily, I didn't have the issue of trying to read long passages while fighting off the loud tap-tap-tap of my neighbors keyboarding away on their writing section, as I did for my previous exam. This is what I was most concerned about because honestly, how are you expected to focus when you can't hear yourself thinking?! That's one part I miss about having written exams where everyone is forced to start at the same time on the same exam. Oh well, in this new tech age, "resistance is futile," right? In terms of security, the last test center fingerprinted me and took my photograph once at check-in, and the second time when I literally went around the corner, as if I could change my identity somehow in that short amount of time. The Alameda location took my photo but no fingerprint. They still wanded me, as expected. At one point, they asked me to turn my pants pockets inside out, to which I responded that my girl pockets don't allow me to do so. And for some odd reason, they checked my ankles. Also, I just so happened to wear a headband that day and was informed that I was not allowed to remove my headband at all during the test session. If I wanted to remove it, I would have to come outside to do so. Seriously?? It's just a headband!! I thought it was funny that they showed my photo on my computer screen once I entered the test room, asking if it was still me. Good thing I was first to arrive at the test center because I literally let out a laugh at that - sorry folks, but this is so silly. I liked the fact that this place offered a booklet of scratch paper, rather than a dry erase board. You can write so much more on paper and not waste time requesting a new dry erase board when you've filled it. There's a bathroom outside the room, but nothing else to check out during your break. At the end of the exam, I was asked where to send my scores. I had written down the codes I needed because some schools have multiple codes, and of course I wanted to make sure to get the right one. I was told that I could not retrieve my paper of codes until I exited the computer screen, then had to fill out a paper request to send the codes. Really?! Why can't I just bring my paper of codes, I already completed the exam! aghhhh Now I can't be sure that the scores will be sent out because for all I know, they could have misplaced the paper. Sigh. The test center is great and all, but the policies for these exams are ridiculous. I know it's not the test center's fault though, so I'll still give them 4 stars. read more

Please note that they have MOVED to 1141 Harbor Bay Parkway Suite 102! I checked out the well-written yelp reviews on Prometric, and took WAZE to get to the test center (I typed in "Prometric Alameda" and WAZE pulled up "MCAT testing center" and off I drove)... without double checking my Prometric confirmation email (which stated the correct address at 1141 Harbor Bay Parkway Suite 102). I ended up at the old address (1411 Harbor Bay Parkway-- the building in the photos). There was a sign on the building saying that Prometric moved, and when I finally re-read my email confirmation, indeed the address was 1141 Harbor Bay Parkway Suite 102. Luckily I arrived early, and the new test center site is only 0.5 miles away. I was very jarred though and temporarily very stressed out! So please check your confirmation page before you go! As for the testing site-- workers were great. Very kind, not mean, etc. Check-in and out was a breeze, computer worked fine (seemed kind of new, actually). Room itself was kept a warm 74 degrees (it was a cold, rainy day). The workers aren't constantly walking behind/around you. Instead they monitor the room via a large window and cameras on the walls. They do walk around every so often but I wasn't disturbed by it at all. Nice and quiet, with restrooms nearby so you don't need to waste too much time during your testing to take a break. Overall a good place to take a major test, in my opinion. read more

Very friendly people working here that make the stressful process of getting though a standardized test much easier. They have medium and small lockers to store your things. You cannot wear watches during your test. They have a metal detector that they wave over you every time you go into the testing area. You cannot use cell phones or study during your break... didn't know that coming into the center. And during break you can only leave the prometric center to use the restroom. All you can have in the testing area are your 2 forms of ID, your locker key, and approved ear plugs. Everything else needs to be left in the locker. Provided in the test area are a computer, keyboard, mouse with scrolling wheel, noise cancelling earphones, and headphones I guess for some tests. They'll also give you either two dry erase boards and 2 pens if you're taking the OAT or DAT. I think for other tests they give you a booklet of scratch paper. If you need another one during your test, at least for the boards, you have to hold them up and exchange them. You can't have more than 2 boards at your desk and no eraser is given. Parking is pretty easy. Large parking lot off the main entrance with plenty of open spaces. From the parking lot you can either go in the main door and walk down to your left to the center or walk to the left side of the building and there will be a door on the right that will open to the center on your right. If you're coming here for a test, good luck! =) read more

The Staff in Alameda is amazing! Kim is hands down an all star at her job! I was so impressed with her knowledge, leadership and execution of all the procedures. She kindly asked people to put the used pens in a different pile from the clean ones and kept everything well sanitized. I greatly appreciate her for going above and beyond to make sure to protect public health. I've taken a test in San Bruno a few years ago and the mouse on the computer was sticky. Thankyou! read more

Major upgrade from the location in Central. Don't panic when you start driving into the Oakland airport to find your way to this test center... just take a deep breath and trust your GPS. I love that this location has ample parking. Back when I was taking tests on Central, there was NO parking; there were always some empty spaces in front of Prometric, but you weren't supposed to actually park there (what the hay!?). This one has a HUGE parking lot that's totally open. The bathrooms are bigger / better, and the waiting room is a major upgrade. If there's a wait you don't have to stand outside in the cold, which is awesome, and the staff here seems to be pretty efficient. It depends who you get, but generally when I take breaks between testlets, the whole biometric / fingerprint scan and signing in process takes under 2 minutes, which golden when the clock continues running for CPA exams! Great decision moving this prometric location. Whereas the last one was very centrally located and near a beautiful movie theatre, those perks weren't very useful to me. Better facilities and parking is. Thank you!! read more

In short, they lost my test results and won't admit to it. My screen froze after displaying my test results (pass). They couldn't provide a printout of my results but assured me the results were reported just fine. So I wait... nothing. After calling Prometric, I discovered that they have me recorded as a NO SHOW! I'm waiting on an investigation now. Other clients at the center experienced the same issue of receiving no printout. My colleague had a similar experience on a separate occasion at this facility. Their system went down (bad switch or router, I believe) and so they held everyone in the room for 4+ hours until they could replace the part. If there's any hint of technical complications, by very wary! UPDATE 10/16/14: It's been over a month and this matter is still not resolved. The support personnel make it sound like they can't get a reply from this particular center. And every time I follow up with them they waste another 30 minutes of my time. It's a good thing I don't have anything pending on this certification. read more

I recently took my test here at this location. It's right next to the airport, so I was a bit worried about the noise factor when I actually got into the testing center; however, I think I only heard one airplane fly overhead, with noise reduction headphones on, the entire 4 hours that I was there. There is ample parking, so you don't have to hunt for a spot. The testing center itself is easy to find, neat, and organized. The staff are very helpful and friendly, which is nice since most of us that show up to these testing center are a bit on the anxious side before taking an important exam. And as stated earlier, noise reduction headphones are provided, as well as scratch paper and pencils. I have no complaints whatsoever, I'm just glad that my exam is finally over with! read more

Took my TOEFL. Overcrowded. The reading section went well. I was half way through the listening section, and then the disaster kicked in. The noise cancelling headphone is a farce. While I was working on the listening section, the person on the other side got started on their Speaking section. I could hear everything she was / other candidates were speaking. The background noise continued through my Speaking section. Pretty much ruined my test from then on and with that my future plans since my College application deadline is near. I think I managed to salvage the Writing section. But am not sure if its good enough to compensate for the damage done earlier. I am really upset. The authorities should be ashamed for charging 205$ for this test and allow the use of such substandard heaphones / overcrowd the testing center and ruin our future. read more

Out in the middle of nowhere with nothing around! The coffee shop was closed on my test day and that drove me insane! However, they were nice enough to allow me to arrive any minute before the test appointment time. And so I had about 40 minutes to weave through the 25mph city-wide speed limit to grab a cup of coffee. The testing procedures were lovely. Quick and efficient. As for the computers, they were like any other computer you and I use on a daily basis. Headphones can place a bit of strain on your ears so I suggest earplugs. read more

Parking lot is super convenient. If you chose the other location on Central Ave, then you have to feed the meter or risk getting a parking ticket. Plus, its down the street from Raiders HQ! The inside is nice and quiet environment for taking a test. Other places have people tapping keyboards that are distracting. read more

Every couple years or so, i have to re-certify my ASE certifications. Since the ASE program recently changed over to an all computer based system, as apposed to their previous paper/pencil with optional computer based... Anyway, this place is the closest to me, which is crazy because i live in Fremont. No this place's fault, its ASE's fault. So, this place is kind of out of the way. Its in a quiet business complex tucked away. They people are very nice here, and they get the job done just like id expect. Its pretty quiet inside, since its a testing facility. Very strict to the rules. Comfortable though. Not that i have a choice, but ill be back in the future. At least its close to work! read more

The workers are not the most polite which is fine but definitely not helpful when someone is anxious about taking a very important and expensive test. They're a bit snappy when doing security and do not a good job making the test takers feel comfortable or well informed regarding procedure for the center. The workers spoke a little too quickly with some frustration rather than explaining well and ensuring that the test takers are well informed. read more

Took the HESI A2 exam there today. This place is A-ok, nothing bad or nothing special. It was easy to find (giant white 1411 on the building, it's hard to miss), plenty of parking spaces, temperature was a bit warm; you might want to wear shorts or comfortable loose clothing Test area: Cubicles The ONLY thing you are allow to bring with you is 1 pair of FOAM ear plugs Headphone is provided Water bottle is not allowed at the desk If you need a break, your timer keeps running Pencil/paper are not allowed - they gave me 2 markers and 2 pieces of laminated paper to use read more

Surprisingly quiet for being next to the airport! While I heard a plane flying above while I was outside one time, I didn't hear the planes at all once I was in the building, just a few of the testers next to me scraping their chairs on the desks or who knows what they were up to;) My station was right next to the door, so I did hear that opening and closing a lot, but it wasn't too awful. There was some sort of humming in the room (probably the air conditioner, because it hadn't started up when I first got in and did the sound check.) The provided headphones didn't cover my ear very well, so I had to cup them close to get a good seal when I had a question that had a sound clip. Chairs in the testing cubicles were cushy and my butt didn't get sore after a full day of testing, and I could tell that the monitors and desks had been set at ergonomic levels. Heck, the chairs out in the waiting/break area were also pretty comfortable, too! I took an 8 hour test with not a lot of break time built in and the courtyard with the trees and fountains (and a couple of mallards!) was really relaxing and a nice place to take a quick walk and clear my head in-between blocks. The staff really did their best to get people in and out as quickly as possible, which is really appreciated, since the timer was still going on my exam. I also had visited them earlier to ask some questions about the procedures (because you only get one shot at the USMLE Step1 - no retakes if you get a bad score!) and they were very good about checking on the exact policies for my exam and making me feel comfortable throughout the experience. They were kind when they reminded me of each little procedure for the day (which boxes to check, where to stand to get wanded, etc.) even though I'm sure it must be tiring to tell people the same things over and over and over. And they started me a little early on my exam since I was one of the first people there that morning, which I'm glad of because it's all the waiting around that makes me anxious! The office complex seemed pretty dead quiet, which was nice for exam purposes, I guess. There's a small café/deli directly across from the Prometric office, which I didn't try due to not having much break time. The bathroom down the hall for the ladies only has two stalls, so there was a little bit of traffic when we all got out on our breaks at the same time! In the testing center there are 4 larger lockers and a bunch of small lockers. It's first come first serve, so if you have a morning exam you can grab one of the roomier ones. The small ones are approximately 8"wide x 11"tall x 14"deep (TEENY) (and yes, I measured it because that's what neurotic premed types do.) The bigger ones were probably the size of 3 of the small ones stacked up. read more

On the day I took the GRE, the temperature outside was 87 degrees. The temperature inside the testing room, which is cooled only by portable air-con units, varied betwen 83F and 85F. For a four-hour test with just one 10-minute break, the heat was miserable. I sweated through my T-shirt and jeans, and had trouble concentrating fully on some sections of the test. On the positive side, if you take your test on a day that's not scorching hot outside, you'll probably have a good experience. The center is well-run, organized and not difficult to find. The earphones provided do cancel out almost all ambient noise. The lockers provided will fit a small bag, and there are restrooms and a drinking fountain right outside the testing center's suite. At two points during my test, the computer stalled after I clicked a question as completed, which was alarming, but after about 10-30 seconds, the next question appeared. I did lose up to a minute of test-taking time, however. When I asked the staff if they could do anything to cool the room, they said no. No offer to reschedule the test or to pass my feedback on to management. These stand-alone testing centers are very profitable. Surely they can ensure a more comfortable testing environment! read more

This testing center is great by most standards; however, when I went in to take the GRE here, they provided light heather blue scratch paper and a hard pencil, which made writing and reading extremely laborious. I complained to ETS and they provided me with a voucher for a future test. I'm hoping they have changed the color paper, but at least now I'm prepared. BE AWARE that taking any test where you need to make notes might be challenging if you get the blue paper. I hear there is also a possiblity of getting yellow. read more

I took my test here it was very organized. I was given a locker to use during My test period also they have security protocols.And I was given headphones to keep out the sound and the room temperature in the test room was very comfortable that day despite the fact that it was hot outside. read more

hands down the worst fu***ng test center. 3 times in a row, i was sent back saying "we have computer issues and can't do the exam right now". who is paying for my gas and time off?!!!!!!!!??????? why dont someone fix these issues???????!!!!!???? burn in hell Prometric for wasting public time and money! I saw at least 5-6 pissed off test takers in about 5 mins!!!!!! When I asked for a manager, the bitch on the counter was rude and had a single reply - " my manager is off today". Yeah right. She is probably jerking off on the computer screen. microsoft: please stop doing business with these jerks and switch to pearson Vue . please read more

Staff here have the most contradicting rules. They are very unfriendly especially the lady named Elaina. She did not let me take my exams this time after letting me take my other exams the past month because she said that i am missing my hyphenated name. I am ok with that if at first you have never allowed me or at least asked me to correct my record but they didnt say anything the past 6 exams i had. This was my 7th time and just like that Elaina said no sorry. Please be consistent with your rulings or at least notify the person that you guys wont allow it next time and to correct the soelling of the name. There was no warning last times. I told them to call the board for this she said she will not do it. Very bad and will not use this test center 0067 again ! Worst center ever. Go to San Francisco staff are totally friendly and accomodating. read more

I've been to this testing center several times over the past few months for the CPA exams. No real negatives to report, here are the things I would've liked to know the first time I came to this location. Apologies for the lengthy review but the fewer surprises the better on exam day! - It's located in an office park but google maps and the directions on their confirmation email got me there without any trouble. Plenty of free parking right outside. - There is nothing else going on in the area, so bring a snack if you think you'll get hungry. - The staff is friendly and I've always been able to start my test as soon as I arrive even if it's before my scheduled time. - I couldn't hear any airplanes/foghorns/fire trucks, etc. It's very quiet in the testing room, with the exception of everyone clicking away on their keyboards. I always bring foam earplugs but other reviewers have said the noise-cancelling headphones they provide work well too. - Even if you've taken a Prometric exam before, it's worth repeating that they are strict about clothing, accessories (no watches allowed), etc. Don't plan on wearing layers and being able to take something off/put something on. Don't plan on taking in a hair elastic and deciding later if you want your hair up or down. I think they keep the temperature right around 68-70 degrees - I've always been comfortable in a long-sleeved shirt, jeans, and closed-toe shoes. - I believe the paper/pencil issue another reviewer mentioned varies by exam. For the CPA exams they provide two laminated dry-erase sheets and pens (as promised on the NASBA website). Good luck!! read more

I have never taken a test in more unprofessional circumstances. First of all, I do have to say the staff was great. They accommodated my pumping in the employee break room since their normal bathroom was closed/being remodeled. HOWEVER, they would not have had to do so if they closed down like any ethical testing center would have since the building was undergoing MASSIVE LOUD renovations. Every 30 seconds there was some sort of BANG! Additionally, the air conditioner was broken due to said renovations and it was like a sweat shop up in there. I had over 4 hours to take my test, but ended up quickly marking answers as fast as I could with no checking so I could get the heck out of there. The test took me about 2 hours. Thankfully I did pass with room to spare, but that is not the point. The point is that my score is not an accurate reflection of my true score due to the terrible conditions in which I (and anyone else there) took the test. I sent an email inquiry about this matter 3 weeks ago and have not heard a peep. Not surprising, as it took me about a month to get a hold of them on the phone prior to the test. I had to threaten a message machine with legal consequences. So, if you actually want to get information from these people, forget about it. Also, they are more concerned about getting their testing fees than being ethical. Clearly. read more

friendly staff, if you are going to test here just remember to leave things in the car, there are lockers but a backpack is almost to big to put in there. had a great experience read more

I scheduled my step 2 here, and while the nine hour marathon of a test was anything but a picnic, the people at this testing center were really nice and considerate. They called me the night before my test to remind me - which is super nice for people who bury themselves into a study hole and somehow forget their actual test date! They also asked if I had any questions and told me to not forget to pack food as there wasn't much nearby. Day of the test - everyone at the center is professional and nice! When I left the testing room for my breaks (which were timed) they would try to expedite the whole fingerprinting thing, and pausing some people's check in which weren't timed, so I could maximize my leg stretching/water drinking/other very important things people do during test breaks. The only downside I had at this site was construction happening next door! Not sure when they're going to be done, and it's nothing that this site can control, but make use of those noise canceling earphones at the station if you hear a saw go off! Though it was a nice testing center, with a ton of free parking, I won't lie- I hope I passed my test so I don't need to come back here any time soon! read more
