I took the DAT on Wednesday at the one near Lavista Rd....I thought the testing room was good-it was air conditioned even though they also added a fan which I didn't notice till the end, no odd smells, not too many distractions....the set up resembled a bunch of cubicles but spaced out enough so you don't feel crowded...so you get your own little working area...when I went, there was pretty much everyone at a computer but not everyone was taking the DAT...as for the cpu moniters, they weren't for sure flat screen monitors--but it was "new" enough so that you could tell between a solid and dotted line for the PAT...well, of course this was for my computer.. don't know too much about the other ones...hope that helps, and good luck,
