For a testing center, it's well run, organized, and secure.
Follow the guidance of the staff and you'll have no problems!
- no study material allowed in the building at all, so study beforehand
- best to wear low maintenance clothes, they make you pay yourself down, roll long sleeves up, unfold cuffs, turn out pockets, to check for cheating material before entering testing room
- all your stuff goes in a locker in the waiting room, unless you ONLY bring an ID, you take your ID with you everywhere (if you have an exam with breaks, you need it to get back into the room).
- you have your photo taken before your exam for the purposes of identity verification before you enter the testing room, glam up... or not!
- read the rules, don't break them or they will be sassy (you'll deserve it), you can get kicked out of the center and exam canceled for breaking them!
Inside the testing room: earplugs saved me, but unfortunately if you're sat next to someone coughing incessantly nothing can save you... unless you spend precious minutes of your exam time to make a complaint. And even then they may not be able to fix it because that person is in the middle of their exam, too.
You get all the extras your exam allows (whiteboard, calculator, etc).
All in all a nice testing experience, only as stressful as the exam itself! read more
