Would make the product better:

There is very little that needs improvement, but one minor suggestion would be to enhance the waiting area with more comfortable seating or provide access to water or light refreshments for test-takers waiting for their appointment. While the focus is rightly on security and professionalism, small comfort touches could make the experience even better, especially for nervous candidates.

I recently took the GMAT exam at a test center, and I'd like to share my experience. The test center provided a generally positive environment conducive to concentration and focus. One of the highlights was its accessibility, featuring a lift for easy access to different floors, which is particularly beneficial for candidates with mobility issues. Additionally, the abundance of computers ensured minimal wait times and a smooth check-in process.

The atmosphere inside the center was notably quiet, which is crucial for a test like the GMAT that requires intense concentration. However, one downside was the absence of provided earbuds, which could have helped further in blocking out distractions for some test-takers.

The staff at the center seemed relatively new, which was evident in their limited knowledge about certain procedures. While they were helpful, it would have been more reassuring if they were better informed about the exam and its logistics.

Facility-wise, the washrooms were clean but appeared a bit outdated. One significant concern was the lack of ventilation in the center. While the air conditioning provided some relief, the absence of fresh air circulation could lead to a feeling of stuffiness, especially during longer test sessions. This issue could potentially affect test-takers' comfort and even their performance, as reduced oxygen levels may impact cognitive function.

In summary, while the test center provided a generally good environment for taking the GMAT, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of staff training, provision of earbuds, and addressing ventilation concerns to ensure optimal conditions for test-takers

I embarked on my GMAT exam journey with high hopes, but what unfolded felt like a nightmare. Scheduled for 6 in the evening, my online GMAT experience began at 5 as I eagerly logged in and clicked on the "launch exam" option once available. This marked the start of a series of unexpected challenges and frustrations.

Upon entering the Zoom meeting through my browser, the proctor promptly took control of my laptop and requested me to download the Zoom app. Astonishingly, the app failed to download, despite my previous successful experiences with it. The proctor's insistence that my laptop was incompatible left me flustered, though I requested the chance to troubleshoot. Sadly, I had to rush to arrange an alternate laptop within 10 minutes, borrowing one from a friend.

The new laptop faced the same hurdle – a required software download preceded by turning off antivirus and firewall, all according to GMAT guidelines. What followed was a baffling dance of communication with the proctor. After several attempts, she quickly resolved the issue from her end, contradicting her initial claim of incompatibility.

This ordeal consumed an entire hour, and I finally re-entered the exam. Just as I dared to hope for smooth sailing, another obstacle arose. The proctor, now joined by another person, questioned my internet speed despite my previous checks and the proctor's own speed test, which showed a robust connection. The proctor's suggestion to restart my laptop and browser led to her providing a Zoom meeting link to save for later.

After adhering to her instructions, the proctor conducted another speed test, yielding the same results. Seemingly satisfied, they moved on to the check-in process. The methodology felt strange, asking questions through the Zoom meeting rather than an official software platform. The subsequent request to display my testing environment via webcam seemed straightforward, but suddenly, my webcam malfunctioned, turning off repeatedly without my intervention.

A restart was proposed, along with an ID to jot down on a whiteboard, and joining through that identifier. However, the webcam glitch persisted. Zoom's message that it wasn't functioning compounded the confusion. Over 90 minutes had elapsed by this point, and the proctor determined that we couldn't proceed further due to these ongoing issues.

Upon reflection, the entire experience starkly contrasted the clear process outlined on the exam provider's website. The proctors' demeanor oscillated between irritating and intimidating, which left me questioning the integrity of the entire endeavor. The financial investment, the dedication to preparation, and the emotional toll were all compromised.

This situation raises larger concerns about the validity of third-party proctoring services. Notably, esteemed institutions like Harvard, ISB, and Kellogg rely on these services, potentially overlooking the distress they can cause to aspirants. The intricate relationship between education, integrity, and business ethics comes into focus.

Considering the substantial fee paid for the exam, the absence of a viable alternative when Zoom fails is exasperating. It begs the question: do these practices truly align with the ethos of education these institutions promote? The "Beti Padhao, Beti Bachao" (Educate the Daughter, Save the Daughter) initiative seems at odds with the ordeal students like me endure.

Determined to expose this disheartening reality, I intend to raise awareness about the mismanagement and potential malpractice of entities like Examity. Moreover, I contemplate taking legal action to address the harm inflicted on me and likely others who share this ordeal. The educational system should be founded on integrity, transparency, and respect for hard work – values that appear compromised in the realm of remote proctoring.

The infrastructure of the center was really awesome and cannot be compared to any other center in India. The atmosphere was also very good for giving the test. There was a play ground in front of the class, which made me a little bit skeptical about the disturbance during the exam, but hopefully there were no players in the playground. The support I received from the coordinator was also very appreciable. The markers boards writing pad all other amenities were very well maintained and kept at specified places. the overall aura of the test room was also very peaceful and fulfilling. I would like to highly recommend you to take test at this test center.

The center is located in Navrangpura,Ahmedabad. It was my first time GMAT experience at any center so I won't compare this center to any other. This center is located near To L.D. Engineering college. This is center of the city and quite easy to commute. I had planned my exam on 08/09/2020 12:30 PM IST. I reached to center around 12:00 PM. I found receptionists very helpful.At First,They explained me each and every procedure in detail. Then, We followed my palm verification and sign procedure. Luckily, I was only one exam taker at that time. This place is very quite and there was no noise outside. Toilet is only 10 step ahead. There is decent local facility available.
In Conclusion , I will strongly suggest to each who is considering to appear exam at this center. Moreover I will give 9 Stars out of 10 to this center.

There is only one test center here in Bangkok. The location is ideal, not far from the MRT Petchaburi station. It is better to take the motorbike taxi rather than driving. (Parking is available but quite limited). The traffic jam can cause you trouble as well. The building is on Asoke road.
The toilet inside was broken therefore, I have to use the other one outside which need a bit of walk. The monitor screen is a bit bright. Moreover, there were people taking other exam as well.
One thing that bothers me is that the morning appointment was quite early (8.00 am). It would have been better if it was at 9.00 am.

ps. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They provide great support.
Best of luck everyone!

The test center location is easy to find. They will allow you to start the test before the scheduled time if you are okay with it. The process of collecting fingerprints and photo was smooth. The test center was really small with around 6-8 seats. The chairs were really uncomfortable. I was given the ear plugs, but they were uncomfortable to wear. But I couldn't remove them as there were other noises.The rest room was a general one, which was present outside the office. Try to give your test in pearson vue center instead of this one if there are slots available for your date.

The Greenville Prometric testing center is easy, and very convenient. The biggest potential complication would be finding the actual room, but a guide on the wall will easily guide you there. I took 4 CPA exams here as well, and can say that I saw at least one familiar worker every time I was there. By the fourth test, they recognized me and were cracking jokes almost immediately. If stress is your weakness, friendliness is their strength.
I've never been bothered by noise or disruptions, but a computer has gone out on me once. They responded quickly though, so I wouldn't let that deter you. I'd retake the test there any day. While I never want to go to a testing center, this one makes the trip a little less painful.
