Your Pearson Testing Center

[soupbone]

In the past, I'd always used Prometric testing centers for all my Certs & Tests, and never had a problem. The several centers I'd been to were always pretty nice, had plenty of testing stations, and were very accomodating for walk-in testing.

In the last few weeks I started looking at my local Pearson testing centers for my UExcel test, and I was dismayed. We've got two Pearson testing centers in Tulsa, and a couple farther out (like OSU and OKC) but it turns out that only the 'official' Pearson Professional Center offers the UExcels. So, I spent two weeks calling them, and kept getting an answering machine, no matter what time of day I called. I went by there at lunch, and the place looked like a little side room in an office building, and it was locked up tight. Went by there right after work a few days later, and same thing.

I'm hoping its still open, because otherwise it looks like I might have to go to the other side of Oklahoma to take my test(s), which I may have take at least one ECE as well as the UExcel.

I hope Excelsior considers expanding their testing arrangements outside of just the Pearson Corp, because I've not been impressed with Pearson so far...

Yikes man...I sure hope you have better luck than what I've been reading about so far. I have 2 centers located within 2 metro areas so I'm hoping the facilities are better equipped to handle larger numbers of testers. We'll see in the next few days because I'm somewhat of an impatient person (I'm sure everyone can tell) and I'm going to start a calling frenzy when Excelsior sends my info to them. hilarious
