Mind sharing your experience? What was staff like? Computers fast? Calculator lagging? Any tips etc

The staff was pretty fast with signing you in and dealing with security protocols. If you are taking it in the morning though, they won't even let you in the door until they "open". I had no issues with the computers, everything worked fine (including the calculator). You are given a laminated piece of gridded paper and a sharpie... so no erasing 😕 Fortunately however, the dude that gives you paper is very attentive so just raise your hand if you need more. If you need to take a break, it probably takes 3 minutes to check out and another 3 minutes to check back in. Besides eating a light breakfast and trying to sleep early, I think you are ready to go, let me know if you need any more advice!

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm living near Westminster/garden grove. How was traffic for you? My tests on Wednesday morn.

Where u able to make your grid lines during tutorial? And suggestions during break period?

I just stuck to the local streets to get to the test center but I would assume the 405 or the 5 isn't too congested in the morning. BUT I would still try to get there 25~30 minutes early just so you can actually find parking and the test center / calm your nerves. I didn't even try making lines during the tutorial but honestly, the proctor doesn't even really pay attention and also can't really see your desk. For the break, I just used the restroom and ate a granola bar.. didn't take too long because I just wanted to get it over with.
