- Was the test center conveniently located? - Yes, it is exactly located as shown in the Google map. The entrance of the building is at the left of the Kotak Bank.
- Was it easy to find? - Yes. Except the building entrance.
- Were the staff polite and respectful? - Yes.
- Were there proper facilities and restrooms? - Restrooms are okay. No watch to check the time.
- What was the noise level from external sources (street, lights, A/C, etc)? - I could hear people talking in the reception area. Rest all good.
- Why would you retake the test here or in another location? - Closer to my location.

Self-reported Score:

The computer quality is okay. The key board and mouse are new. The table and pen are very annoying. The building seems a bit old and the stairs are scary. The toilet is clean. The noise can be distracting sometimes but bearable with headphones.
The staff is somewhat nice, although a bit unfriendly at first but still helpful overall. The checkin process is quick.
The location is easy to find but a bit far from my place. I may retake the test here because it's pretty inconvenient to take the test at another place. Maybe I'll retake the test in Hanoi.

I wrote my GMAT exam on Sept 12th 2019 at 4:00 pm evening slot. I went to the center just 15 mins prior to my slot due to heavy traffic and detours because of it.
I was greeted by the front desk lady and asked why I came just before the slot and was supposed to be 30 mins early. Told her the reasons and she allowed me to enter.
Gave the instructions in a very calm and peaceful manner and requested me to pat down myself, check for any papers or miscellaneous items. Gave instructions on how to store my valuable and use the medication that i was required to take because of fever i was going through in the test day.
During the break the checking and assistant was top notch.
10/10 would recommend the center. Even the sound dampening was amazing and on top of that they offered ear plugs or noise cancellation head phones too according to our preference. The washrooms were very clean too.

The test center is right above the Nike showroom. The staff are extremely professional. It can get a little noisy in the room and also cold. Otherwise a great experience.

The initial check in process feels a little slow but once through, it is easy. I wish they gave some kind of a personal timer since there’s no exact way to time the breaks. Even before and after the break, the verification takes a while. So got to stay very alert in order to lose time. Also, the school selection needs to be done at the very beginning of the test rather than after viewing the test score.

Getting there in the morning was not very easy because of traffic, but there is a lot of parking spots next to Ayalon mall (8 minutes walking from the test center).
the place itself is very clean and ordered.
the TAs were very clear about the rules, and allowed me to start my test earlier because there was a free sit.
the restrooms are not in the center itself, but are on the same floor, and are clean and available.
I wore long pants and short T-shirt so i felt OK, but if you suffer from A/C you better get yourself a pull-over.
I was lucky the TA let me take the test (according to them) because i only brought ID and driving license, but not my passport. they claim the official website recommends to bring the passport anyways so please do so.
in general, very good experience!

The test center in Bangkok can be very noisy and very cramped so make sure to choose the table that is located first on the left and wear noise cancelling headphones. The temperature is okay but its advisable to bring a sweatshirt just in case. Also both of my pens ran out of ink during the test so test your pens before the test starts. Also there are people taking different exams at the same time and there are people walking in and out of the room so if your easily distracted practice a mock exam in a similar environment.

Hello Friends -

Here is my review of the pearson vue hyderabad test center. I took the gmat at this center.

- The test center is very conveniently located on the top floor of the Nike showroom
- I was able to reach the test center without any hassle
- The staff is extremely professional and really helpful. They can really calm you down and help reduce your nervousness
- The facilities were in perfect order and even during the breaks, there was no chaos anywhere.
- Well, you can always have noise coming from any quarters. The key is to not get distracted by it. Although, i did not encounter much of a noise that could distract me.
- I will highly prefer to retake the test at this center just because i am not now more familiar with the place. However, people reading this review must do their own analysis before choosing one.

I went to the Manipal center for my test and there was no waiting area. So we had to sit on the stairs to wait. We were allowed 5 mins before the test and the formalities were completed . passport is mandatory. I would also suggest getting some water and banana to reenergize yourself in between breaks. I was disappointed by the markers and writing pad. Some didnt work and the center was too cold also . So get a jacket with you. The ear plugs work fine but leads to pain in the ear after consistent usage. Maybe select a time where test takers wont come a lot and you have peace.

The test center location is good. But it was very small and we can hear the outside traffic sounds. It's not much but sometimes it can break your focus. The center was also not very clean. AC was working fine and I would recommend to bring in a jacket with you in case you feel cold. Washroom was also very small but it was ok. The staff was polite and helping. Due to the location i would still prefer this center if you giving the test in bangalore. Be sure to keep some things to eat and drink with you.
