Testing centers in Manhattan

Can anyone recommend a good testing center in Manhattan? It looks like there are several, but I want to make sure I can use paper and pencil (rather than dry erase boards) and that it's relatively quiet and well run...
I plan on calling the centers; are there any questions I should ask in particular? What do you wish was different about your testing center that I should try to avoid?
Thanks for any suggestions/input!

I believe that the dry erase boards and markers is universal throughout ALL the testing centers. That's what the guy told me when I called to inquire about it at my testing center.

I took my test at Livingston St in Brooklyn (it's 2 stops out of Manhattan) and we had pencil and paper ... but of course that may have changed by now.
I would ask abot pencil paper and flat screen monitors (and maybe mouse scrollers - but those are less important).
Also if you find that you're going to have to use a dry-erase board, you should really get one to do yourr practice tests with so you're used to it by test date.
Good luck!

I took my test at One Penn Plaza and i had a very good experience. You should check it out their very nice and organized and it was paper and pencil at the time i took it.

According to the ADA, you will only be given marker and dry erase board (pg 26 in the link). I believe that started this year... so it would be better if you practiced using a marker and a board. Good luck 🙂
