MD Exam - Timonium Area

Does anyone remember the address from past exams? I need to get a hotel.

Thanks

It's the Maryland State Fairgrounds at: 2200 York Road, Lutherville-Timonium, MD 21093.

I stayed at the Residence Inn Hunt Valley about 10 min north of the exam site.

Excellent. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to be sure I do the same.

a good tip for anyone that need a hotel overnight, you can use priceline and name your price, you can get an extended stay suites for $60

It does trial and keep low balling it works every time for me. I had a car rental mid size $6 +taxes whichh comes to $13/ day

FWIW ..... $60 on Priceline, 3-star hotel gets you the North BaltimorePlaza Hotel .... it's across the street from the State Fair Grounds

i know this is not what this thread is about, but man i need to start using Priceline. i usually end up paying $150+ per night for a mid-level hotel and $80 a day for a crappy rental car. i have a buddy that swears by Priceline but i've never bothered to check it out.

This was the first time I've ever used it. No complaints.

Only drawback is you can not cancel or change your reservations, but if your plans are rock solid you really don't have much to lose. I'm kicking myself for not starting out lower.

Ah and I think the other catch is you can't use any rewards or points system.

Anyone remember if there is a visible clock? Watch battery is dead.

This would make a good replacement:

@John Q,

I was told by someone who took the exam at this location previously to be sure you have a watch. He ended up taking the exam and had no idea what time it was the whole time.

Hope that helps.

Off to buy a watch. Thank you, glad I asked.

Just spent $15.00 on a watch with a broken band. Only one in CVS. I have good feelings about this.

I stayed at

Residence Inn Baltimore Hunt Valley
45 Schilling Rd
Hunt Valley, MD 21031

last time. Used priceline to name your price. I think I paid $60 for it. it has kitchen quiet room plenty of parking. Not too far from the exam. There is a MickeyD by the main road you can stop to get coffee and bagel before the exam. Morning traffic is good since the exam is at 7AM..so you be heading there at 6AM. It will take you about 5 min drive

Yeah MD does not offer a visable clock, just the time warnings. Now I feel like I need to buy a back up watch! Lol sounds like you got all the luck. Good luck tomorrow.

yes, worst case you can ask the proctor how much time you have...they are helpful to me last time

I'm going to add to this thread for future readers.

Clocks .... Bring a watch.

Temperature ..... It got pretty warm in there in April

Seats .... If you are shorter you may want to bring something to sit on. I ended up sitting on two textbooks the entire exam. The chairs are relatively low in relation to the tables, and it's really hard to see the tabs on your books.

Boxes .... This killed me. All your material needs to be in clear bins. If you pack in bankers boxes you will have to empty them and keep them on the floor.

This probably goes for everywhere, but learn from my stupid mistake. 3 heavy duty staples binding 150 pages into a book isn't considered "bound."
