testing center

Assessment administration site

A testing center is a facility where standardized examinations are administered—academic tests like the SAT or GRE, professional certifications, or licensing exams.

Testing centers provide controlled environments with proctors to ensure exam integrity: I scheduled my real estate exam at a testing center downtown.

The term also applies to medical facilities offering diagnostic tests, particularly during disease outbreaks: COVID testing centers were set up in parking lots across the city.
