1. Sylvan Center in Jefferson City, MO
2. Wait: About 1/2 hour -- it took 7 minutes or so to check each person in
3. # testers: 7 total including me
4. Cleanliness of Bathroom: No complaints
5. Computer: PC with LCD
6. Scratch paper with two pencils
7. Comments: My test center was not where AAMC said it would be. I'm not sure when they moved, but the extra sress of hustling across town to the new place this morning got my heart rate WAY up there. I'd been to the old center before so I didn't think of making a dry run yesterday -- I wasn't going to get lost. I was sure some was going to tell me I'd been "Punk'd".

1. 400 Oyster Point South San Francisco
2. 20-30 minutes
3. approx 10 in a room (there were two rooms)
4. didn't use the bathroom
5. pc, prolly about 4 years old
6. 1 packet of scratch paper and 2 pencils (i didn't ask for more, since i didn't need it)
7. i hated this place for two reasons- one i tried to call for 2 weeks straight and no one would pick up the phone. i had to find info out about the test center by calling another prometrics place. the other reason was the guy checking us in was a total prick. he was condesending and just plain mean. otherwise the site was quiet and there was lots of parking.
