Here's the update on my Test Center experience at Foothill College...
They send you everything you need to remotely schedule your appointment, so that's easy. I chose a 90 minute block of time for each test, even though Dantes allows 120 minutes, as I usually finish in under an hour.
They are open for testing FIVE DAYS A WEEK.
They allow you to take tests back to back, if you prefer, and they do not limit the number of tests.
While they charge $25/hour for proctoring, they only charge what you actually used in test time. I took two tests and had reserved 3 hours of time. As it turned out, I only used 1 hour 45 minutes, so that's exactly what they charged me for. I figured they'd round it up to two hours, but no, they didn't. Do note that one hour is the minimum proctoring fee.
I may use Foothill college if I take Criminal Justice and Intro to Law Enforcement as I will probably want to take those back-to-back -- or with just a half hour in between -- and so Foothill would be convenient. But I still love UOP Fairfield's test center.
Oh, and New College in San Francisco is indeed closing, so we can take that possibility off our lists.
