Seeing a ton of posts in r\/CPA as well as the medical licensing subreddits (Steps 1, 2, and 3) that Prometric is sending out emails — sometimes with as little as two days’ notice — advising exam-takers not to show up to the NYC MegaCenter at 1250 Broadway. Rumor is it flooded two weeks ago, which is when the cancellations started rolling in, but we haven’t been able to confirm. Someone else said there was an electrical issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As expected, the one-star reviews are hitting Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This particular testing center does appear on Prometric’s closure page<\/a>. Extreme weather, natural disaster, power outages, technical issues, pandemic impacts or other circumstances are among the “unforeseen issues” that can lead to a closure. “We provide test takers with as much advance notice of upcoming site closures as possible,” says Prometric on their website. “We recognize in some cases there is limited opportunity to reach test takers well in advance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The obvious solution here is to find a new test center nearby but easier said than done sometimes (especially if this “chaos and hell at Prometric<\/a>” rumor is at all accurate) and it’s ridiculous to give people 48 hours notice to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
