Pearson Vue -- Hong Kong, China

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

Parking facility : No, this is HK, forget about car. MTR "Sheung Wang" station is 5 minutes walking. Or take a cab.
Invigilator Reviews : Professional.
Environment : Quiet. They provided earplugs. Computers OK, room OK. I'm a guy that gets distracted with any noise, but the environment was excellent. Clean toilet and drinking water provided. Lock box provided.

Pearson Vue -- Moscow, Russia (Akademia Narodnogo Hozyaistva)

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

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.
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.
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. :oops:

Pearson Vue -- London, UK (London Holborn)

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

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)
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.

Do's & Don't s : Don't change your routine based on what worked for other people.

Do'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.

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

hey I have heard issues like its very noisy because of the students speakng loudly in the corridor, did you face these kind of issues. Did they provide any kind of ear plugs at the centre, if yes did using them resolve the noise issue.

Hi,
Does the Nettur centre provide noise cancelling headphones? Because I have seen that I tend to read out loud during the verbal section.

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.
