Hyderabad Pearson Test Centre

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

Test centre is quite easy to locate, although they don't have their own parking. You need to park your vehicle outside on your own risk. Plus, they don't allow anyone else beside the test taker even inside the buliding, not even to the rest room or lounge area. The test centre is on the 4th floor, extremely well maintained, proper insulation from street noises. The staff is very professional and helpful. I had a very smooth check in both times during the start of the exam and during break. They provide noie cancellation headphones too at each station and you can request for earplugs too if you find them bulky.

Good experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

Verification closer to test start time takes a lot of time even though you are half hour before the allotted slot due to limitation in manpower. Would suggest to improve upon that, Overall a nice experience but like i mentioned, would suggest to sizeup manpower especially when there are multiple people taking different tests at a particular slot as it leads to unnecessary anxiety.
And most importantly, issue of lack of parking needs to be addressed as it is located in a mall and you carry high risk of getting your vehicle towed when you park it outside on the street

A Balanced GMAT Test Centre Experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

In summary, my experience was largely positive. The center's strategic location, well-maintained facilities, and attentive staff collectively fostered an environment conducive to taking the GMAT exam. However, refining check-in efficiency, enhancing privacy measures, and providing additional test day guidance could augment the overall test-taker experience. Despite these areas for improvement, the center's commitment to maintaining a secure and well-equipped testing environment makes it a commendable choice for GMAT test-takers seeking a conducive examination setting. So definetily a good experience but offering more comprehensive guidance or resources concerning test day procedures would be beneficial, potentially alleviating any undue anxiety or confusion among test-takers.

Pearson Professional Centre, Kukatpally, Hyderabad.

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

1. The test center is quite easy to locate if one is living in hyderabad.
2. The building staff is very helpful in locating the the exam room.
3. The test centre staff was quite professional and polite in their conductance.
4. Each and every process regarding passport verification and identification was conducted quite professionally.
5. Noise cancellation earphones were provided for everyone.
6. Computers were properly functioning.
7. Noise levels from external sources were quite minimal.

The only thing that i would recommend to improve is the checking process in after coming back from one of the sectional breaks. The checking, although quite professional and according to the rules, does consume time which might eat away some of the time from the exam.

Overall i had a good test taking experience and i would highly recommend this test centre for future test taking.

Thank you for sharing your insights. Are we allowed to drink water during the exam? I wanted to call and ask but can't find a number on Google. Thanks

Test center review

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I was scared of taking the test at a physical location at first due to covid. But this test center has maintained the really good hygienic standards such as temperature checks, limited staff, hand sanitisers at every corners etc.They are very strict in physical checks as well. They have done throughly checked my pockets, glasses and masks(a bit overkill if you as me).

The test center was also very peaceful. The desk, notes, pens are sanitised in front of me as well. The noise cancellation headphones provided were great. I could comfortably finish my exam. Over all, This center and its staff adhered to very best standards.

Pleasant exam taking experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I reached the test center location quite sometime before the actual test time. They anyhow began the verification process when I was comfortable with, and began with my test 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time. All the staff were very friendly and not to the slightness did they made me feel any pressure. Had a bit a problem with the signature not matching on my passport and the digital signature I gave on test day. The lady staff took care of that and calmly asked to sign again. One advice that i would give is to thoroughly check with the markers they provide. If you feel you want to get it changed, do it. You have paid for it.

Great centre

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The test center was not too difficult to find. It is in a one-story building, with lots of parking around it. The people who work at this site are all very friendly. They provide all the things you need for the test and very quick in reacting when you raise your hand for additional help. The computers, tables, etc are clean and the chair is not uncomfortable to sit in. Overall its a good site to take the test. It's a pretty quiet facility, so you wont get too much distraction besides the typing noise of other people. They do have ear plugs you can use to avoid the typing noise

Very Professional

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

This test center (Begumpet area) is just what a GMAT exam needs. I was surprised and extremely impressed with their professionalism and neatness with which they conducted the whole of 4 hours of test for each and every candidate. Repeating every necessary step with a smile on their faces and very prompt.
I was pretty scared how the people would be conducting the test of such importance, but the atmosphere was just what one needs to stay focused on their exam, with no worries about the nitty gritties.
I am more surprised because of my bad experience at the other center in Hyderabad, which can be rated at 1 when compared to this center. All's well that ends well!
For those planning to take someone with them for support, please be informed that there is no waiting room here, so you need to have other arrangements for your partner/friend to stay while the test goes on. Sitting outside the center will not be a feasible option, as inside the center only the candidates are allowed. Once the test is over, you have to promptly collect your belongings and score (if reported) and leave.
To some it may feel uncomfortable, but I think this is how they maintain the sanctity of the test center which is crucial to our performance too.

GMAT Test Center -hyderabad

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I appeared for the GMAT exam in the Pearson VUE test center in Begumpet area, Hyderabad. I was worried before entering the test center that some or other unforeseen incident might ruin my 3 months preparation and interrupt the exam, and this fear had arisen because of the several reviews that I had read regarding the problems people face in test centers. But to my luck, this center was very very professional, organized and clean. Even when I asked for 2 extra pen to carry inside the exam room , which was obliged by the test center. During the break the instructor clearly told me your break has started at this time and you need to come back by this time showing at the big clock in the center. There was a lock facility. the instructors were good listeners.
Just one small drawback of this center is its just beside the main road. The honking sound of vehicles can some time enter through the glass window but the center provides noise cancellation head phones. So not to worry.

Overall my experience was good. The Test center proved to be as expected from a GMAT test taker.
