that experience. It was so nice to be able to be able to study until I felt ready and then take the test when it worked for me instead of it being at a scheduled time. Also, the music room on the top floor was awesome.

I preferred in the testing center because I could take the test when I wanted.

The music room alone makes it better than in class

I'm old enough there was no testing center when I attended. Somehow I survived.

It depended on the subject, teacher and quality of test questions.

In class was better. No testing center beard nazis because even the professors thought it was dumb to shave daily

Who doesn’t love taking a test with 1,000 stressed-out kids, with the cheating

Had in-class for my grad program. Tests were much shorter which was nicer.

And that, right there, is the main reason I hated the testing center.

When I taught at BYU, one prof in the math dept did get a warning for long tests

I don't think they had testing centers or clickable pencils when I attended....

I had church in the Testing Center for a couple of years. We used to say it was the most spiritual place on campus

I liked the instant results and didn't mind the hard seats but hated the long lines
