I used to use this testing center exclusively for my certification exams.
Recently they got a brand new shiny testing room with shiny furniture and leather chairs, they must have been so proud... Problem is they had the bright idea to stick the CRT monitors under the desks, so 1. you have to hunch over for the entire test in order to see the screen and 2. if you are not a double amputee and you have legs there will be very little space for them under the desk especially if you are tall, so you will have to sit with your legs to the side while hunched over, throw in the fact that in order to have the chair high enough that you can hunch over enough to see the screen, the arm rests bump against the keyboard tray and you can't pull the keyboard tray out, so not only are you hunched with sideways legs but also the keyboard is obstructed by the desk, chair can't move to accommodate the sideways legs because it is bumping the desk, it's just ridiculous. Also the partitions between the desks are too narrow so if you are taking a test which uses a whiteboard there is no room for the whiteboard on the desk without obstructing the screen, so you are constantly juggling the whiteboard so that you can SEE the monitor while being ergonomically tortured. I'd rather be taking the test on an airplane in economy than this.
Just avoid this place!
