Center Name : Pearson Vue (Next to Manipal Center) City & Country : Bangalore, India Parking facility : Parking is an issue on Dickenson Road. Invigilator Reviews : Professional and helpful. Environment : Quiet. A bit cramped so typing and coughing can get distracting. Would be wise to take earplugs in (they provide them). Clean toilet and drinking water provided. Ambient temperature is pleasant so you won't require layers. Rating 5/5 : 4.5/5 Debrief Link : thank-you-gmatclub-97132.htmlAdditional Info : NA Do's & Don't s : NA

Center Name : Singapore Pearson VUE City & Country : Singapore Parking facility : Not present. Would be expensive as the location is CBD Invigilator Reviews : They could be more helpful before the test starts. o waiting area. Had to wait outside center for around 20 minutes with no chairs Environment : Ok. You can hear keyboard noise of other test takers Rating 5/5 : 3.5 Additional Info : Toilets are close by, not sure about the smoking area as I do not smoke. Debrief Link : my-gmat-experience-98021.htmlDo's & Don't s : Be on time. Not before not later. Don't bring red bulls, anything to eat, the time for optional breaks would only allow you to go for toilet and may be sip some water. Also note that they DO NOT provide water. You need to take one.

Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF) GMAT center review ----> added to assist Google search Center Name : Nettur centre Bangalore City & Country : Bangalore, India Parking facility : Yes Invigilator Reviews : Peaceful people Environment : Calm (total 4 machines only) Rating 5/5 : 5 Additional Info : Toilet a minute's walk away, but clean & wasnt crowded Debrief Link : Do's & Don't s : keep track of time in breaks (8min only) they provide drinking water Some people had told me to avoid this center, but i went as did not want to reschedule. At that time i looked for reviews, but found none. Am happy to be able to reply someone. Trust me, it is a great place. I reached at 8:15 for a 9am appointment, so started my test at 8:30 and chose my seat - avoiding direct A/C cooling and taking a corner seat (no body crossed from behind). Scored 750 i've written a debrief, but couldn't paste link as i have below 5 posts you may google with "my gmat experience: 750" (witten on GMAT-Club) Hope this helps!

Center Name : Pearson Professional Centers, 100 William St. City & Country : New York, NY Parking facility : Private garages nearby, but expensive. Easily accessible by public transportation Invigilator Reviews : Helpful and professional. Environment : Relatively quiet. Rating 5/5 : 5 Additional Info : Make sure to carefully read the ID requirements; while US citizens should only need a driver's license, others may need a passport or more. Debrief Link : 770-q48-v51-thanks-gmatclub-83370.htmlDo's & Don't s : Don't show up "on time". Show up 30 mins early just in case. However, if you're running late - don't panic. They don't start your timer for the test until you actually sit down at the computer.

Center Name : Pearson Professional Centres-London Holborn City & Country : London UK Parking facility : None AKA in central London? Bwahahahaha! Invigilator Reviews : Polite, efficient - did not offer to test pen  Environment : Quiet, desk approx 1.5m square with high dividers. No ear plugs provided but headphones are present (I guess for tests that need them) Rating 5/5 : 5 Additional Info : Test scratch pad was not like the one shown here. It was in fact laminated white A4 sheets with a heavy black grid sectioned into rectangles about 10mm x 7mm. I forgot to count how many pages were provided but there were at least 10 sides which was more than adequate. Debrief Link : http://gmatclub.com/forum/740-q49-v42-awa-98204.htmlDo's & Don't s : Don't change your routine based on what worked for other people

Hey guys, I think creating a Google Doc Form would be much easier than filling it out like this. It also automatically creates a spreadsheet with answers that can be viewed by anyone with proper access. I feel that this would be a much more efficient way of doing this. Gurpreet, consider this suggestion. The link is attached below: FormThe spreadsheet can be found here. SpreadsheetMaybe you can add a link to the first post. Or something where people can fill this out whenever they write a debrief

Or something where people can fill this out whenever they write a debrief Great suggestion, but its not good to link externally if we can achieve the purpose here. I have created one table ,and I will update all the reviews in a day or two. I need to format it properly, but this is just an example. For further discussion please PM me, as this thread should not have any discussion. Hope you understand.

Center Name : Pearson VUE , Akademia Narodnogo Hozyaistva City & Country : Moscow/Russia Parking facility : - ( did not pay attention, as I arrived by metro) Invigilator Reviews : polite. Environment : 4 narrow seats, very small obscure room, without windows, old computers. Rating 5/5 : 3/5 (-1 for location, -1 for testing room) Additional Info : Far from the centre of the city, 10 minutes by walk from metro station Yugo-Zapadnaya. You need to arrive +10 minutes before, except for those 30, in order to register and receive acces into the campus. Debrief Link : n/a Do's & Don't s :Take what ever you need with you (a bottle of water, some food, etc). It would not be possible to exit the campus.
