testing centers

Where assessments happen

Testing centers are facilities where people take standardized examinations—college entrance exams, professional certifications, licensing tests, or diagnostic assessments.

The term also applies to locations offering medical screening: COVID testing centers opened throughout the city.

In either sense, the center exists specifically to administer tests under controlled conditions.
