    It's hard to get into the building. I've taken two tests at this location. I had to end up calling both times for someone to get the door open. Recommend getting there early.

    I went to the exam today, although I didn't pass it! But I am very happy ? I met two warm and beautiful receptionists and I look forward to meeting you next time! Thank you ???

    Pearson Professional Centers administers many exams. To be as prepared as possible, I visited the exam site 2 weeks prior to my scheduled date. There was construction on the 10fwy so I knew to leave even earlier on the day of the exam to prevent being late. The building was easy to locate and there is plenty of parking. Regardless of what test you are taking, I recommend going on their website to read any rules that may be relevant to your exam regulations. On the day of the exam, I got there an hour and a half early so I can take my time and go over my study guides a bit in my car before it's time to go in. As instructed on the confirmation emails, I began to go in 30 minute prior to the start time. The building door was closed. There was a note to use the office from the intercom, so I did. No one picked up. There was also a phone number, which another person tried call and no one picked up. I tried calling again, and finally someone picked up. There was 4 of us who were just waiting outside until someone got the door. The test center is on the 6th floor. Due to Covid precautions, there are extra rules to complicate the already complicated process. Everyone needs to read the door and acknowledge the Covid non-expose stuff... This could be more efficient if they sent us a questionnaire/waiver prior and have us sign it off the morning of the test day. Plexi glass is put up around the room to protect the Test Administrators. We had to start off by leaving to the rest room and washing our hands... and then coming back and using hand sanitizer. A bit redundant and inefficient considering how many surfaces there were between the bathroom handwashing and coming back. From there we were each asked to read rules about the test we are taking. *warning* Be sure they know which test you are taking. I was given some rules about the MCAT test since there were other people there testing for the MCAT on the same day. I want to emphasize that different rules apply to different tests. The MCAT folks had to put their phone in sealed bags and do hand prints. For the PMP Exam, I just had to present my ID and take a picture :) Then you put away your belongings in an assigned locker space. You keep your ID with you at all times!! After you pass the first part of screening, you go to the TSA-like checkpoint. There is plexi glass and you keep a 6 feel distance showing them your pockets and things like that. In my case, they checked my glasses if there was some fancy video thing in them. Didn't know people were so fancy with their cheating. Had I knowned I would have worn contacts to lessen the checks. Anyways, if you aren't hiding anything, you have nothing to be afraid of. After the check, depending on your test you might get scratch paper, or in my case laminated pieces of paper that worked like a white board.I really liked the lady who helped watch over the testing area. She had a dodgers facemask. Super sweet personality. She taught me the hand signals if I needed something or if I want to take a break or when I am done with the test. Her cheerful personality really made the test experience less depressing. The test room was hot from the computer, but I heard the AC... guess the AC was not strong enough. There was also construction sounds. Headphones or ear plugs are provided if needed. My test was under 4 hours with 2 -10 minute breaks. I took all the breaks. Once for the restroom and once to stretch and rest my eyes from the computer. Brain fatigue is real! By the 3rd section of my test I was so brain dead I had anxiety towards the end. Results for my test are instant so I was so nervous. At the end of the exam, I gave them the thumbs up and they signaled for me to come out. So grateful I passed. Just glad for it to be over. Staff checks your ID again upon check out and you can retrieve your items from the locker. For my test, I got a piece of paper with the results. Yay! I saw the results on the screen when I finished the test and I was in shock like ohh am I reading this right? I passed? haha... nice to have this reassur
