Newport News Va Pearson testing Center is inside of a offie building. The Testing Center is conveniently on the first floor of the building and is tucked away in a corner. The staff there when I took the exam was helpful and extremely informative. Obviously there isn't much talking but they were helpful and informative and the environment was not as intimidating with the seasonal decorations they had around instead of a plain grey office test taking center. In terms of the Office building itself, if you do get there early I would advise sitting in their waiting area after you find where the Testing room is. They do have open bathrooms and the codes were conveniently placed on the door of the test taking room.

I post this review for my fellow aspirants, living in Tamilnadu, India, to choose the right test centre. In Tamilnadu, there are two centres

VIT College, Vellore
PearsonVue, Chennai

PearsonVue, one of the professional centres, takes ardent effort to provide the better exam experience. But all the centres don't afford this luxury. I have one of my worst experiences during October 2016.

I have chosen Vellore, VIT as my test centre. In the first place, it was very hard to find the exact location in the college. Barely, none knows the centre in the college. Once the examiner came, I was given the ear plug and scratch pad. The scratch pad was so dirty. There was some construction work going on and the room was not sound proof. So ear plug and scratch pad were literally of no use to me. Consider all these nuances, my scores got completely.

I just visited Chennai centre to double check my doubts. All my grievances were addressed properly. It is one of the best centres, I have encountered. Everything is very professional.

So please check the centre once and then schedule the exam

The test center was easy to locate. But, while starting your journey, make note of road traffic in your mind. Having said that, it would be better to reach the test center at least 30-45 minutes in advance. It was having a nice atmosphere. The security checks were okay too. I was escorted to the main room by the center's administrator very nicely. He explained to me all the rules and regulations very politely. I was allotted a locker to put all my belongings. At the extreme, he forced me to kept my handkerchief too in the locker. But anyways, he wished me luck for my exam.

I've taken GMAT at the Yusuf Sarai Center New Delhi. Well, I must say they are exact opposite of each other.

In terms of staff, Pearson Center has really cooperative staff who actually listen to your whims and fantasies.
Also, Pearson center's test room is sound proof and quite comfy. The PCs are bigger, charis are good and most importantly, the separators from fellow test takers is really good.

you cant comment on parking space issue although the nearby area is good with great connectivity by metro trains.

I would really suggest that whether u have to postpond/prepond your appointment, dont book EduPro centre. Go for Pearson center.

Thanks for reading. All the best.

The test environment is cozy and the people there is quite nice. I think the overall experience of the GMAT test there was quite nice. So if I need to retake the test, I will consider going there again. The location is not too hard to find. But the waiting area is not always quite. However, there are only four spaces for the test each day. The test is not held every day in a week, either. So I would suggest the test center be expanded so that test takers can make more choices. Some other locations such as Tainan would be a considerable location.

It is the only test center in whole of Gauteng. The test center is located inside sandton city office tower, which is very easy to locate. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. They do quick and easy verification of documents and are very professional. The environment is very peaceful. It can get a bit noisy when there are many test takers and some of them are doing the English spoken tests. Overall, had a good experience with the test center. I want to re take the test and would definitely retake from there. Wish you all the best.

Ansal university test center is located in Gurgaon. It is inside the university campus in one of the admin blocks.
it is recommended to go to the center by cab or auto as there is no designated parking for visitors is available.
the test center was well organized , well managed and clean ( with clean washrooms as well).
the only issue for morning sessions is that all the classes in the university are going on and you can hear voices of student passing through the corridor. Although the test center provides you with the ear plugs , sometimes it may be distracting. i think this issue should not be there for afternoon sessions.
To conclude my review its an average test center and much better than the other Delhi centre in Dwarka.

The centre is located on the everbusy Nelson Manikam road, so if you are planning to commute by car/taxi, i suggest you plan for some congestion in advance.

The test centre is on the 4th floor of the building on the rear, so you might have to ask the security for the directions. The staff there are polite and courteous and help you with all your queries.

The exam might start a earlier then your scheduled appointment time if there are free systems available as was in my case,

the environment is quiet except for the loud key strokes from your fellow test takers. you have to bear with it.

The ambiance,facilities and environment were conductive to have an overall good Test taking experience

Test centre is easily accesible and well connected to road .The ambience is very peaceful, comfortable and well maintained. The staff is super friendly and polite. The process of gmat test is really made hassle free by the staff. Sitting arrangement is nice and comfortable. Seperate washrooms are available for male and female candidates and were clean. Seperate locker was provided to each candidate to keep the valuables safely. I could hardly feel any noise from outside sources while doing my test. Overall a good experience. I will highly recommend this centre to others. I felt like as if I was giving paper in my home,with all ease and comfort.

The test center is very conveniently located in the heart of the city with a lot of commuting options, the directions provided in the test center map are the easiest way to locate the center.

Coming to the staff the women who work there are very polite , professional and understanding, no matter what you request they are always there to help you out some or the other way.

The noise level is very minimum, if you want to have a peaceful exam you can always request for ear buds.

The only improvement required for this center is expanding the restrooms.

Overall , I would definitely retake the test here if I have to. Thumbs Up!!
