NC Elite Career Service Center

Worse testing experience I have had in my 20 years of taking IT related exams. The female exam administrator is OUT OF CONTROL on a power trip. She got into a yelling match with another exam candidate. The site is forcing exam candidates to not bring in cell phones into the site. She really needs to find another job that does require her to interact with clients of a business because she has no soft skills or customer service abilities.

I’m pretty sure that if you’re going to take a test, then you’re probably going to choose the one closest to you and not the one with the best reviews, but I’d figure I’d write a review and let you know what you were walking into.
NC Elite Career Center is a testing center for computer-​based exams. It looks like they have rooms for paper exams too, but I didn’t see anyone using them, so I’m not sure they’re doing that anymore. I’ve been into a few testing centers in my life and this one isn’t too shabby. There are about 15 lockers for you to tuck your things into and locks are provided by the proctor. Cell phones are not allowed on the premise at all (even if they’re off, so leave them in your car!). I didn’t count, but it looked like there were about 15 computer workstations as well.
Once you walk in, you have to walk around a room divider and you’ll see the proctor sitting at the desk. Just tell her your name and what exam you’re there to take and she’ll do the necessary check-​ins your exam requires (ID check, signature, or photograph), then she’ll walk you to your workstation. Earplugs (brand new in a plastic baggie, whew!) are provided and pencil and paper (if your exam allows it I suppose). If your exam allows a calculator, bring your own. Also, There’s one single bathroom for each gender just outside the testing room, so it isn’t too far if you need to run out during your exam.
I did have some computer problems during my exam, but that wasn’t the proctor or location’s fault. The servers hosting my particular exam went down, but the proctor did what she needed to do to figure out what steps needed to be done. Those things are bound to happen to someone since computer based exams can be glitchy.
Anyway, good luck on your exam!
