any reviews for Pearson Noida Centre newly opened a month back ???
Took the GMAT exam today at the Pearson Vue Center - Noida. Would rate it 5/5. Its located in a commercial office building and has ample parking space. The washrooms are located on the same floor as the test center and within walking distance. The center is new as it began operations only a few months back. The center had pin-drop silence and the staff was very professional and helpful. The chairs were really comfortable and they provide you with noise cancellation headphones and 3M earplugs. Faced issues with my marker during the verbal section and the staff was prompt in replacing them. The whole experience was great. Can't think of any flaw.

Yeah I had the same wonderful experience at Pearson Vue Professional Center- Noida. It is perfect to have your GMAT. Pearson Vue needs to open more centers like this rather than opting for authorized centers which do not match their standards.

I took the exam in Prague (GOPAS). I am very satisfied with my experience there (I did not expect much though).
There are only 4 places available, so it is not so crowded (and with me maximum people were three, although most of them time just two of us). We got noise cancelling headphones and earplugs. I have never used earplugs but noise cancelling heaphones were great. I also received tissues (and of course pad and two pens).
The staff was in other room watching through cameras. Whenever I raised my hand they showed immediately. They were patient in explaining me exactly what I can or cannot do. Because I am not from Czech Republic and I arrived to Prague just for the exam, I had a backpack with me. They were understanding to that and offer me two lockers - one for my backpack and one for the snacks which I took with me for the exam. In the centre there was free coffee, chocolate, water, coke which was a nice touch (especially espresso saved me). You cannot leave the centre at any time. It took me around 6 minutes to use the toilet and get espresso and water, eat my snack and come back to the room.
When I arrived they firstly asked if I want a coffee and if I need anything which was also nice, I could feel there is no rush even if I was only 10 minutes before the time. The attitude of the staff was to make that experience as good as possible so I can pass the exam perfectly.

I reached the exam center by 12.30 pm as my exam slot was 1 pm. The lady outside the test center asked me to fill in my name, time and name of the exam for which I was there. Once I entered the center, the lady sitting in the reception asked me which exam I am there for and asked for my passport. I gave my passport and sat. There were about 10 people there sitting with my waiting for their turns. There was one more lady who was checking the candidates. She was asking to show all the pockets and fold the shirt's sleeve to check for tattoos if any. Also she was checking the glasses. For one guy she checked everything and then she asked him to show the pendant of his neck chain too. That guy got so irritated that he tried removing his tshirt. Then that lady said no need, checking is done. That was funny. Everyone sitting there started laughing. Thankfully I was wearing Indian salwar kameez (a dress without pocket, phew!). After all the checking done, they took me into testing room. It was huge. It was way bigger than Bangalore center. Test started and then I took my first break. In this center you are not supposed to get up from your place until an invigilator will come inside that room to escort you out. This was not the case in Bangalore. Of course someone will be looking through the glass but escorting was new to me. Once I clicked yes to break I got up and started towards the door. The invigilator came inside the room and said "Go to your place". I just went and sat in the chair thinking he might want to type in some password. But once I sat he said "Let's go". In this I lost my precious 1 min of break. Unlike Bangalore center, here there are separate washrooms for guys and girls (that's good). But the problem was that they started tests for many candidates at once and everyone came for break at the same time. This was a problem as everyone would use washroom in the break. After struggling for washroom turn 
and gobbling up something. I went back to the door of the testing room. That guy asked me to put my right palm onto the scanner and asked me to remove my glasses to check and asked me if I am using glass for eye sight power (I am not sure why did he ask this question as no one would wear glass just like that). In this again 1 min gone. For guys ( and also girls wearing jeans) it was even worse. After every break they had to undergo the same stringent checking of their pockets like before starting the test. I was feeling pity for them as they were losing so much time in these checkings in both the breaks. Also, worth mentioning is the noise level of the exam center. This is pathetic. The center is on the main road with traffic. You would hear vehicle horn of almost all the vehicles out there sitting inside the test center 
. I had to wear noise cancelling headphones almost all the time. All in all, the center is conveniently located even if you are new to the city (like me), spacious and clean, supply of markers and writing pad is fine. But time lost due to excessive checking during breaks, everyone coming for break at once and noise are the negative aspects of this center.
