I did very well and passed; so I am quite excited. Your results should be in the mail as we speak.

A friend from Arkansas got hers on Monday. It is Wednesday Oct 17th and my friend from St George & I are still waiting.

I also found a few minor issues with instructions in the sentence correction portion, but it would have been hard to describe without giving a specific example, so I stayed away from them. I don't remember any reading comprehension errors that I saw, but surely there are different versions. You'd think, though, that a national exam like this would be completely error-free. Keeping fingers crossed for the results. Have not received mine yet, and I am really not quite sure. I didn't have much time to study; so we shall see.Judy Jenner and Dagmar Jennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991071510108619107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-56637098457193134462012-09-27T22:12:15.949-07:002012-09-27T22:12:15.949-07:00I also took the written exam this year at Prometri...I also took the written exam this year at Prometric and encountered the same problems you did with the testing site. Additionally, the testing room was extremely cold, and the constant pacing back and forth of the testing room "monitor" was a constant point of distraction. As far as the exam goes,I came across two blatant grammar errors, and missing text in the reading comprehension portion. In one of the 2 instances, the amount of missing text (including an incomplete word, which I was unable to decipher from its 3 first/last(?) letters) made the sentence incomprehensible. I only hope that, that particular sentence was not critical in determining the overall meaning of that paragraph. <br />I am still waiting for the test results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-16312362388625853352012-08-27T08:16:54.249-07:002012-08-27T08:16:54.249-07:00@Chiara: thanks for reading and for commenting!

However, the entire set-up is certainly subpar, in my humble opinion. :)Judy Jenner and Dagmar Jennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991071510108619107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-55968073964568824552012-08-27T02:08:48.209-07:002012-08-27T02:08:48.209-07:00Hi Judy.

I took a Prometric test a while ago and I have to admit that I experienced the same with location (it was hard to find a parking lot and the area is not very safe) and lockers (they were there, although they had not said anything about them in the email). Maybe they can't say they have lockers as there would not be enough for everyone, but that's only a guess. Anyway, the staff was very friendly, so it was not too bad :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-50603470231873385462012-08-26T12:11:02.146-07:002012-08-26T12:11:02.146-07:00@Jonathan: thanks for the comment!
