Bad experiences at the testing center

[rebeccal]

Wow, these stories make me feel incredibly blessed. Of course, I've only taken one CLEP so far, so maybe it was beginner's luck.

Since this was the first one I took, I didn't know what I was doing. I went to the testing center and was told to go to the cashier's window (exit the testing center and walk across a lobby), then come back to sign into the testing center -- not sign in to start taking the test, but to sign in to basically say, "I'm here!" After signing in to the testing center, I went back to the first lady I talked to. She did something on her computer for a minute or so, then told me to go to terminal 11 to take my test. There were about 20 terminals, and about 16 or 17 people were taking tests, but everyone was quiet, focused on the test they were taking. (The area with all the computers for the tests was separated from the testing center lobby area so I wasn't disturbed by anything happening there.)

When I logged into the computer at terminal 11, after I entered my contact info, cc #, etc. the right test appeared on the monitor and off I went.

Let's hope it goes this smoothly all the time.
