    Hey there,

    I'm in the Bay Area and man, am I bummed that SCU isn't a testing center anymore.

    However, I just took the October test at USF and it wasn't so bad. They had about 10 of us in an small classroom and spaced us out well. We had one proctor and two assistants in the room and I felt like it was run fairly well. Hope that helps!

    Wtf? A 2 rating and a 10 rating? That does NOT instill confidence...

    Ah, my condolences. There is nothing in SJ. I think Oakland would be your best bet

    @ENTJ yup it was a long(ish) table just to myself. More than enough desk space!

    Anyone know about Alameda? I chose it because it had good reviews and only 1 negative, but hearing all this about USF is making me uneasy! (as in maybe I should have gone with USF)..

    that one negative review of USF was enough for me to lose confidence in it.

    @msizzleee may be things have changed in USF about the desk size, but one review mentions tiny desks. could some rooms have long desks and some others not?

    i don't know much about Alameda, but I doubt they have lecture hall seating there.

    i'd even consider test centers far away, like in sacramento, if they have excellent seating.

    @lschoolgo hmm I wish I had looked into the other rooms during the break but I was so focused on beating the lines at the restroom lol. I'm not sure about the rooms being different. If it helps, when I took it, it was on the Lone Mountain campus. Might be worth checking it out before the test.

    Is Alameda the one in the community college? If so, the desks are decent size (not big like lecture hall but not too small).
