a41 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Has anyone been to the Thomson Prometric centre on Bloor? I tried going yesterday, but the doors were locked (the ones on the north side of the building). Those were the only doors I could find, so I'm assuming that they were locked because of the holiday. Is this the correct building? Is the test centre upstairs? I am going to try again next weekend on Saturday or Sunday (I can't during the week because I am in Kingston). If they aren't open on weekends then I won't be able to check the place out until test day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webshy Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I wrote my MCAT at the downtown Toronto location. What information are you looking for? Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a41 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 As I mentioned in my original post...where exactly the test room is, and if the north side of the building is the correct entrance. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webshy Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 The building is on the south-east corner of Bloor & Sherbourne. The entrance is on the north side of the building. The test centre is on the second floor. The day I was there, multiple rooms were used. There were three of us in the room I was in. The computer monitor had a curved screen, and the mouse was a ball-type with a scroll feature (though it did not work for all sections of the exam). The ear covers blocked some but not all of the noise. I didn't really notice too much outside noise. Registration was quick (about 3 minutes per person in the morning, 10 seconds in and out for each break). Each staff member was very kind and encouraging. Hope that helps.

spicandspan Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 What kind of "ear protector" did they give you? Were they those kind that look like big heardphones that cover the ears, or those sponge type of things that you squeeze into the ear canal? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were fairly comfortable, and blocked out much (but not all) of the noise. Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
