What a mess of a place. I came here to write a language proficiency exam as a requirement for school.
First of all, I originally signed up on the website to do it at Dawson college and then saw in the email that it was actually here. When I addressed this with someone who worked there, they acknowledged the error and said it's been an issue for a while. I was wondering to myself why they haven't fixed it then?? If someone goes to the wrong location and misses their test, they are out $330!!
Next issue was that the emails about the time for the test were sent only 2 days before the actual test date, making it difficult to plan your schedule. Additionally, the messages went straight into the junk folder so could easily be missed. There was no warning when signing up that this could be an issue.
The organization on test day was all over the place. There were about 4 employees who all seemed pretty lost and inexperienced. For my speaking exam, although we were asked to show up 20 minutes early (which I did), the examiner showed up 15 minutes late! Then during the speaking exam, there was a power outage and blaring sounds from the emergency system interrupted the exam for about 5 minutes. Not the best test environment...
If you have to take the IELTS, I do not recommend taking it here. read more
