    I can’t think I’m alone when I say I don’t like to mess up my testing juju and go test at a Prometric that’s not my ususal. I’ve had to do it just once due to my San Jose location being impacted and the other location I went to was just run down and didn’t feel right – and I failed, definitely can’t go back there haha. At this point Prometric is like my second home, fml. Once again, San Jose has hardly any seats for April (did I miss the rush at 6am today or something btw?) and I just don’t want to sit in a new foreign Prometric. Am I crazy?

    And my Prometric people are just so cute and nice. 🙂

    I mean if the ladies are cute, then by all means.

    But I've used 3 different Prometric centers for both the CPA and the EA exam and I've had no issues or fails.

    I will absolutely not test at the Denver-Greenwood Village location after hearing about soooo many negative experiences from friends. But other than that, I have sat at four different locations, some nicer than others, but all had a serious flaw. CMU's staff were really unpleasant but the room was very nice. Longmont had nice staff and an OK but crowded test room and check-in did not go smoothly. CoSprings looks like a Soviet-era office, pretty shabby test room but super-nice staff. Lindon UT had a very spacious and modern test room, but it was about 5 degrees too warm, and their staff wasn't happy that I asked for a pen without a mashed tip. They also did not have earplugs, but let me use a pair that I brought after inspecting them. No way I was going to use those shitty Harbor Freight earmuffs.

    No place is perfect, all have had marginal mouse/keyboards and crappy monitor resolution. But a pleasant staff can make a stressful day go a little easier.

    I stayed with the same center, even though it is 2 hours a way. Then the place closed. I thought it was temporary but I found that not enough people were using the location so it's closed. So I had to break in a new center, and I did not like it . Not only was the center different but the workers as well. A little tacky too, I mean the place was rough looking, lighting in some spots poor, thank God I didn't sit in the low light area, and parking lot littered, So change is not bad, if you have to, but try to make the best of it. Main thing is get that 75.

    It begins with a 75
