| - This is about the testing facility....
I went in today to take an Faa now ledge exam, I'm a CATS proctor, and they use laser grade. A note about laser grade, it's annoying contrasting blue screen (like the windows blue screen of death) and white letters. I'm not a fan, but that's neither here nor there....
Ok, so I come in, perfect little candidate I know the drill. I give them my expired test score (they didn't ask for it) and then the shocker come....$168.15...HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL!!!!!!! Almost $20 more than the other places?!?!hey this is aviation, and I'm an instructor, do you know what I could do for $20?!? I'm dirt poor!!! Ahhhh!!! Im still so heart broken about this. Like, I'm tearing up as I write this.
Ok...the shock wore off, I go in, I get no explanation to how the system works (I figured it out, but still!!) uh... The testing room is noisy. I could clearly hear talking about pay checks this week, and doors slamming...I was not offered ear plugs (if there were some, I was too busy being blasted by the bright blue screen)
So.....I finish, get my score report, leave head hung low over money lost... And make it to north town and look at my score sheet... The take count was WRONG. Again, I'm a proctor, I filled out the form with the proper count, I filled it alllll out, but it was wrong?!? So I call them, they argue with me and tell me they're right. I call laser grade who confirms IM right...ni have to call them AGAIN and inform them, hey! I'm right! 1/4 of gas later I'm back sitting in their lobby patiently waiting for my proper score report. And.... I don't recall getting an apology. How about my $18.15!?! I'm NOT taking another test there, I'll put the $20 in my gas tank!ugh.
