Since there is only one test center in the city, it doesn't leave anything in terms of test center options. The location certainly doesn't help either since its in UET, much farther in the corner of the urban area of Lahore. Be wary of the never ending construction going on the GT road and hence the travel time. The test center itself is small with only 5-6 computers available for the test. Fortunately, since GMAT can be taken (almost) all year round, you shouldn't run into any problems in booking your place, even a week before (unlike SAT/TOEFL/IELTS). Until present, I have given GMAT twice in the morning session (in August and December) and in both morning time slots, I was the only candidate; the next test takers arrived for the afternoon session. Test area is comfortable, lockers are available to store food, study materials, electronics etc. and you will be allowed to access it during the breaks. Earplugs are also available on the computer desks (though noise shouldn't be a problem overall). The staff is courteous but the waiting/locker area becomes a gossip hot spot for all the employees making it annoying during your break time. However, the big negative is the location of the toilet; it takes a considerable amount of time to get to the small, dirty bathroom down the hallway. So be advised, if you want to use the toilet during the test break: RUN! The limited 8 minute break will be eaten up in walking back and forth from the toilet.
One last advise I would give is to get a heads up on the location of the building where Pearson VUE test center is located. Its across the parking area but best not to get lost in the vast university area on the test day (from personal experience, asking around for Pearson VUE won't help much).
Best of luck!
