in person testing covid era at PROMETRIC in ATX?
anyone tested recently in austin (or anywhere i guess) that can give me the lowdown as i try to get back up to speed on testing in the covid era? i haven't been into a test center in awhile and i certainly haven't been in one during covid.
anyone been to the austin center lately?
any changes lately? paper is still allowed i gather. earplugs are still allowed?
should i be aware of anything beyond what i am trying to get up to speed on in the sticky posted here?
this may sound funny but how heavy duty can you get with masking up? "kind of" N95 with a cloth covering over it? what about a literally industrial type mask? other suggestions?
other?

I took two in OKC since Covid, ATX may be a little different. Here they require masks, I wore the typical fabric mask. They make you sanitizer your hands when you arrive. The stations are thoroughly cleaned before they seat you. Really no changes beyond that: Every station is in use (not every other). They still give paper and pencil, still no calculator (but NCARB is moving to all digital whiteboard in November). They do provide the over-ear noise blockers (I don't know if they allow you to bring your own). Not too strict. Good luck!

I took a test last week in Baltimore and it seems different protocol than OKC. At my testing center you had to wear a mask the whole time, they specified no masks with vents in them. They didn't use the finger print scanner, just make you take a photo without the mask on and sign your name. They gave a pen and paper and when I asked for a pencil they said they didn't give those out anymore. Not sure why. They didn't ask me to use any hand sanitizer when I came or left but I had a little bottle of my own that I kept in the lockers. There was someone in every cubicle so no social distancing. They did not have noise blockers on the desk but I also didn't ask. When someone left they would wipe down the station but I don't know how well a keyboard or mouse can be cleaned. It seems like they all do something different so I would call the Prometric you would test at and ask them.
