My overall experience was okay but could be improved. While the staff weren't friendly, their approach inadvertently caused panic and tension among students. Additionally, the quality of stationery, especially the markers, was disappointing and needs significant improvement. The markers were barely functional, making it difficult for students to follow along during sessions. Better training for the staff to handle student interactions more effectively and upgrading the stationery quality would enhance the experience greatly. Improving these aspects would help create a more comfortable, efficient, and productive environment for everyone involved, ensuring that future sessions run more smoothly and are more enjoyable for students.

It can sit 7 people is the test room. The A/C is a little bit too cold when there are not many people inside. The facilitator was quite quick to respond to my request. Not recommend to drive there because the it is one of the busiest road in Bangkok. But they offer free parking for the first 2 hours and 40baht/hr after that. I would still prefer to take a skytrain(Asok) or metro(sukhumvit) and then walk(~15min) or ride a motorcycle there without worrying about the traffic. The soundproof headset they provided is big. Good Quality but too heavy when wearing it for 2 hour straight.

Test center is simple, clean and nice, but I would say admins are a bit rude. Also, it seems the AC is a bit too cold, but I was not allowed to wear any sort of jackets to the test center. I thought that was not too nice, since I was not too comfortable during the test without my jacket. Overall the check in experience is quick, they search you and check for everything. They were also able to get you in front of the computer pretty quickly. There were other people taking the tests too at the same time, but on other subjects presumably. There wasnt too much space separating the computers.

- Location: The center is conveniently located near the Symbiosis Range Hills facilities. It might be a little challenging to locate the precise building, but Google maps + a min of asking around and I reached there. Access to disabled students might be a bit tricky.
- Staff: The staff was highly professional and very helpful. Highly recommended
- Center: The premises is less than 300 sq. ft. bit analogues to the cyber cafes of 2010s. It is well equipped with lockers and A washroom; might be a longer wait time if more than one person wants to use the facility. Rest all the infra such as keyboard, scratchpad etc. was all fine.
- There is some proximity to the road and possibility for noises, but while I gave the test, it was very peaceful
- I definitely would retake the test here.

The test center is conveniently located at the heart of the city in Barakhamba road, very close to Cannaught Place.
The staff is extremely polite and would guide you through all the instructions.
You'll be provided lockers where you can keep water and food to have during section breaks.
Everytime you go outside the test room, you will be thoroughly checked and thus avoid going out during a section to avoid time waste.
You'll be provided with headphones, which you can decide to wear or not based on your preference.
A writing laminated pad would be provided with 2 markers for writing.

Overall a decent test centre. Sometimes can get noisy if too many students. Would hope that they provide an extra notepad at the beginning of the test itself. The staff was quite helpful. They gave me extra pens in the beginning itself. Were quite responsive when i asked for an extra notepad. The quality of the personal computers were quite good. Keyboard was easy to type on. The waiting room had a water tank which was useful as i had forgotten to carry my water bottle. Would definitely recommend the centre for all test takes in Bangalore. Overall, could not have asked for much more.

Overall a good test center if you are looking in Bengaluru
Nearest metro stop is lalbagh and you can walk from ther if you reach early
Avoid private vehicles since there is no parking area inside the testing center and you need to park in passport seva office near to the test center
You can find a Tata showroom as a landmark for the place
Try to practice in erasable pad and marker since they provide the same and sometimes the marker won't work and you will find difficulty in identifying numbers especially during problem solving
To be in the safer zone try practicing in iPad or erasable pad

The GMAT test center in Ahmedabad provided a satisfactory experience overall. The staff was professional and courteous, ensuring a smooth check-in process. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, creating a conducive environment for concentration. The test center had a sufficient number of computers and spacious seating arrangements, preventing overcrowding and distractions. The test room was quiet, allowing test takers to focus on their exams without disturbance. The center adhered to the scheduled timing, minimizing any delays. However, the availability of lockers for personal belongings was limited, and some test takers had to keep their items at their desks, which could be distracting. Nevertheless, the GMAT test center in Ahmedabad proved to be a reliable and suitable location for taking the exam.

A small and well managed test center which has locker service, water cooler and washroom. The staff is well behaved and dedicated. As I’ve decided to reappear, choosing this test center is be a no-brainer for me.

You’re strictly not allowed to enter before 30 mins to your exam, once you do, you’re supposed to give your passport as an ID proof after which you’ll be given your locker key to keep your stuff. Then you’re called for a palm scan and photograph. Once the test starts and the optional break message appears on your screen, you simply raise your hand and go in the seating area for your break.

The only negative experience was the markers, even though I never kept them open for long they never functioned smoothly. You can also get more than one writing pad in case the current one gets filled.
The building is easy to find, has ample parking space and cafeterias around

The overall experience is awesome. Right from the location and mode of transport to reach the center till we finish off. Very polite staff and they have managed to keep the room sound proof without any disturbances.
All the equipment works great. Absolutely nothing to complain about. If I just need to make something up, I'd probably say that they can install more systems and take more appointments as usually its hard to get a slot in very short notices. I'm not quite sure if all other test centers provide similar experience but if I had to take the test again, I'd probably stick to this one and also recommend the same to others.
