The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
So I feel like I can cover the public testing center a little better now. I just went and found some shade because I feel like I could barely look in the camera. It's beautiful, but about the polic testing center. So what happens first is your professor announces that you're going to have a test. It's going to be on the syllabus when your tests are so you always know ahead of time when your tests and exams are going to be. Two weeks before that exam date, uh, you'll get an email in your like student email ps you dot e d u and it'll just say I'll send a link that sends you to the pilot testing center exams, dates and times. So some days you only have one day that you could take the test. Some days like the exams go over like a span of, like four days. You want to make sure that you get there and press the link right when thes scheduling starts because they fill up so fast. If you want to get good times for your tests and exams, then you're gonna have to, like, get up. I think it starts at eight a. M. On two weeks before the date of the exam. So you go online and you get to pick the time of your exam, which is super nice, actually. Sometimes it can be troubling, because you have to also make sure you have no other priorities and obligations on that date and time, such as class or like maybe another test. So can kind of get confusing sometimes in that sense, but it really isn't a big deal. Uh, so that's really nice that you get to pick your date in time with the test. When you enter public testing center, it's completely quiet. There's a little weight room right outside, and there's some office ladies there who tell you just the general requirements before entering the tests center, such as No electronics. You're only allowed a paper that they give you a pen or pencil and headphones. If you're test requires headphones, and if you need a calculator, they'll give you the calculator. Um, so then you swipe in users united to swipe into the building um, and then they assigned you a computer and print out, Hey, picture of yourself and what test you're taking in the amount of time that you were allotted for that test and you log into the computer and you begin your tests. There's people walking around in case you have any questions. If you have to go to the bathroom like they are really just trying to make it to secure environments that that kids can't cheat. Also they have people monitoring, so they have cameras in there all over. If you look around and it's people monitoring online or in some room somewhere for gazing eyes or people trying Tio, grab certain papers, maybe that they have hidden. Whenever you're done with your test, you just log out of the computer. You go back, head back towards the waiting room and you if you had a piece of scratch paper that they gave you, you have to put it in the paper shredder, and then you're free to exit, and that's it. So that's a little bit of background information on what tests are like here at State College.
