Strengths:

Overall Experience, staff is very helpful, and very convenient location.

Would make the product better:

Scratch Pad and pen were not completely functional, I asked to replace it 3 times during the exam, causing significant disturbance in the first section.

Overall decent, really needs better stationery. Scratchpad and pen were not completely functional, I asked to replace it 3 times during the exam, causing significant disturbance in the first section. The staff are very helpful overall, and they explained to me that the pen/markers dry up very quickly, making it difficult to keep them open. Between questions, it is recommended to close the markers, especially while doing RC. Apart from that, the location of the center, the facilities, the staff are good.

To get used to the exam, I would recommend getting a GMAT scratch via Amazon. Doing this while giving mocks gets you used to the unusual scratchpad given to you during the exam.

I had the same issue at Pearson Noida centre, I gave the exam elsewhere and faced no such issue with the markers. Its absurd that they are willing to compromise on quality to save money on markers.
