I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Prometric center in Westbury NY, but that is due purely to my own experiences of course, others may vary. I took my first 2 exams there while living within 10 minutes of the facility. I then moved in with my GF in the Bronx, and although there were closer centers, I took the 45 minute trip to Westbury due to the center just being a good testing environment and my being familiar with it. Then my GF and I got married and moved to suffolk county, again, there was a new test center 10 minutes from my new house but once again i continued to test in Westbury taking a 45 minute drive. I figured its been working out well, I know their specific policies and employees and they are a friendly group, no reason to use a new center and get stressed. Fortunately I am done with having to visit them.
If you are dissatisfied with this specific testing center are there any other options? In NY we have a few within reason, IDK where you live so this may be off the table, but it might be worth it to drive an hour to test for a better facility. A negative check in experience can absolutely ruin your mood and cause your mental state to be down and this can easily result in you not being focused on the test and might misread some questions or answer something wrong.
