Great testing center. There is parking easily available and the center offers earplugs and noise cancelling headphones.

Great Front Desk! They will give u a number, have u wait till they call u to give instructions, go up to them after reading them. They they baggy your phone, take palm prints, have u put your bag away in a locker. U keep they key to your locker and have yr ID with y at all times. Then they will call u to a testing prtored room. You'll get checked like tsa, no big scrunchies, hairclips, neclaces, weird glasses. Jacka okay but will be checked. they give u optional ear buds. and have noise cancellation headphones at each desk two types. Then u take yr test. I entered the parking lot from starbucks. $5 pay for whole day. 1$ per hour. quiet, very clean, fancy campus and buildings.

Definitely follow the below instructions with the person that posted about the parking in front of Starbies. I arrived an hour and a half earlier and had time to get some snacks at Starbucks and review im my car! Wasn't too hard to find with the given instructions that person gave!!

PASSED MY RN NCLEX here! Staff is great, welcoming and considering your taking one of the biggest test in your life you want comforting and easy going people checking you in. The Asian lady means "business" a bit high strung strict. DONT wear scrunchies. I had a big lululemon scrunchie in my hair and I couldn't wear it, no problem. Thank gosh I had a rubber band in my backpack. Lots of parking. You have to pay. Peking structure located by the Gym. Building was easy to find. Restroom located close by considering during stress peristalsis is working. Clean. Older building but clean. I sat in #18 room 1 and I'll never forget NCLEX shut off at 75Q and I was shocked and scared at the same time. I'm glad I came here. Eat buds are given if you ask for them. I used ear buds and ear headphones. Dry erase board given with black marker. Palm scanners. Pad down on yourself-no cheating!!!!! My test was @8am- I started @ 730am checking in and sitting down. Thanks Pearson Alhambra !

Took the MCAT here. Give yourself extra time to find parking and the building; it's inside a complex. Conditions in the testing facility were efficient (still arrive early and leave time for check-in/check-out!). Computers and provided whiteboard were in good condition.

I don't recommend this exam center at all. The place is hard to find and the staff was rude during the checking process. I didn't have any bathroom breaks and did not have the right to get my water bottle. I was not in optimal condition to take my exam. Plus, the checking process is worse than LAX! Very bad experience.

I took my NCLEX RN here on a Tuesday morning. They start checking you in right away even if you're super early so I started my 8AM exam much earlier. I thought parking was free in the south parking lot bc the barricade was up and I was able to just drive in but by the time I was out of the exam I had to pay $5 to get out lol. The Pearson Center is on the third floor of building A7. It's very easy to find from the south parking lot!

Great experience I had my test at 7 am but I arrived at the parking lot at 6 am on a Saturday to study a little bit more before my test. I didn't have to pay for parking. Everything was clean and staff was friendly. There are cute cats roaming around the parking lot. It's near a Starbucks too so if u need that morning boost before taking your test. It's a bit of walk from the actual parking to the building your taking the test. There's a security by the parking lot and I just asked them for where the building is.

The staff was so nice but the place was so hard to find uuugh!Their email says turn at the LA fitness center, but there is another free parking lot nearby (at least it was free when I parked at night).- Go on Fremont Ave, there is a parking entrance across from Starbucks.- Find the tent that says The Alhambra.- Go straight down the road. Building A7 will be at the end & on your right.- Elevator to 3rd floor.

If people put as much effort into studying that they do cheating on exams, I'm sure the palm vein scanners at Pearson wouldn't need to be there. I felt like I was getting booked into County Jail with the amount of times I had to scan my palm. I'm sure it's protocol but it just didn't sit right with me. If you get test anxiety, I recommend Edugo in DTLA or the test center in South El Monte on Garvey Ave. These two other centers are much easier to find, parking is validated or free. It's a smaller work room environment and much more relaxing. Parking lot: free on weekends. Pass the actual address, when you see a small street before the big blue glass building, make a turn and another turn and you're in the parking garage. Building: A7 which is kind of a long-ish walk from the parking garage. Go to the 3rd floor. Masks required, you put your stuff in a locker and bring your ID in with you.

I've been getting messages with a few more questions about this center: * Do they offer earbuds? Yes. They do provide earplugs individually wrapped and you can even wear them under the headphones for extra noise canceling. I opted for the earplugs (they fit better). * Do they charge parking on all weekdays? I believe they do charge all weekdays, I could be mistaken. Have some cash on hand in the event they do, but if they don't I can update my tip to add that detail. *What was the check-in process like? Check-in was quick. You walk in, tell the person at the front desk what test you are here for, then you take a number. *What was the lobby like? The seats were socially distanced. Waiting for your number to be called took about 15-20 minutes. Then they take your information and give your test instructions. You also have your picture taken and they give you a locker. *Do they check your bag? I don't believe they even check your bag because you have to leave everything in the locker. Make sure your phone is on silent/no alarms are left on your phone since it gets locked in the locker. *Can you check your bag during the break? Not sure. I would ask the front desk when you check-in. My exam did not have a break. (I passed it by the way! Just got results last week) Good luck you guys, you'll do great!
