Hey guys... I had a random question about the testing centers (prometric) I assume everyones is pretty similar. I know that there will probably be other test takers their during my exam, but is there someone/test proctor there thats walking around continually if someone needs help or comp malfunctions or something... or do we have to walk over to the proctor if we need help with something/ run out of paper? I am curious because I always run out of paper during practice... so Im wondering if I will lose time having to go get/find the proctor for more paper.. sorry for the random question... maybe I should just write extra small
 
Where I took my exam (Alberta) the proctor was just outside the room. The testing room had about 6 computers, and she was literally a foot away and was really good about quickly giving you anything you needed. I grabbed different booklets during my break. I wouldm't worry about it too much. Good luck with your OAT!
 
Took mine this morning and there is someone right outside the room. I had other test-takers in the room...the "monitors" walked through periodically. You get a pretty big booklet of paper, so I doubt you will run out, but if you do, it takes 2 seconds to get more! 😀

I didn't even really use paper until the physics/QR section of the test. I used MAYBE 1/4 of a page for some chem stuff...

Good luck!
 
make sure to be ready for anything in that exam room. During my OAT all the computers froze for about 20 minutes and then it happened again so be prepared to not let something like that bother you. In my case it worked out to my advantage because I was stuck during my physics section and the break allowed me to calm down
