GMAT Test Center Reviews

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.

During my preparation for different tests in my life, I had taken hundreds of tests at different locations. This GMAT test center is not very different from other kinds of test locations. However, I expected a more sophisticated location, such as a luxury kind of chair, desk, table etc, given the GMAT exam costs 18k Indian Rupees. I do not know the other GMAT test centers so I can not compare it with them. All I know is that when I used to take a normal Indian tests, which cost only around 1k Rupee such as GATE, IIT, PSUs etc, the test centers of those exams are similar to this GMAT one. I hoped much more. However, this did not affect me in any way. Though I had little disturbance from other test takers coming late and getting settled in that compact room, overall I had a good experience. The staffs were polite, well mannered, and helped me in feeling comfortable and all. I am going to retake GMAT and I would still choose this one for being easy to access place and quiet place.

I booked my exam at Xavier Research Foundation center in my city, Ahmedabad. It is in the middle of a college. There were some students chilling right outside the exam center and they were making so much noise. There are so many trees and plants on the college campus and since it was monsoon season, there were so many mosquitoes inside the center and it was so irritating. I also faced some network prob at the center. Though the person at the center was really supportive and helpful there were only a few things he can help with. I had a horrible experience at this center. There is another Pearson center in Ahmedabad and I will recommend booking your exam at that center only.

First off, the university is now named Sushant University, if you want to locate it on Google Maps.

My experience at this center was not bad at all. It may not seem the most "professional" of test centers but that should be the least of one's concern. I reached 45 minutes early and since a center was empty, I got it almost immediately.

Good Things:
1. The center is tiny, with only 5/6 test stations. And although it is located inside a college campus, the center itself is secluded so noise will not be an issue.
2. Restrooms are right next door, so you won't waste time during the break.
3. The invigilator is polite/straightforward.
4. As the lockers are right next to the invigilator's seating area, they can directly observe what you do during the break - so no chance of a "false" accusations for using phone etc. Just take your food/water and you should be fine.
5. No issues with internet connections - I took the test on a rainy day and was anticipating glitches but there was no hitch in the test.

Bad Things:
1. The keyboard I received was either too new or too stiff - had a hard time writing my AWA response.
2. It was cold in there - tiny room and powerful A/C (or maybe I felt it because I was all wet from the rain). I asked the invigilator to turn it down and he did, so that helped the situation somewhat.
3. The writing pad was not clean from past uses. Could see smudges all over.

All in all, if you wish to select this center, just go ahead.

I gave my GMAT exam in Jaipur Center in 2020 and I would say, people were quite helpful there but location and comfort are not up to the mark. The Center has a very small room with a maximum of two people occupancy, you have to tell people to adjust the temperature and they change the temperature according to what is demanded which is not good for another person most of the time. The chair is not that comfortable either, I feel with few changes are a must for the center for the student to give the exam comfortably otherwise students wont be able to concentrate properly on the exam.

I gave my exam at the pearson center at ansal University , Gurgaon . The center is highly recommended as the staff are highly professional, polite and courteous. There were no disturbances or issues while i gave the test. The computer hardware is new which sort of helped with streamlining the testing experience. Lockers are available incase you want to keep your phone, backpack etc. There is a washroom and a water cooler.cratch boards: Before the test when I asked, they said I needed to finish my entire board before I could have a new one (even between sections). You could argue this point and say that technically it's okay to switch it out at the break (citing that you called GMAC). But I decided to keep things cordial and just ensure that I filled up my board by the end of IR. That said, they didn't do a careful check when I requested a new board.Ear plugs are provided and worked very well to block out the typing of my neighbors (people can be there for other tests too FYI).

Hi guys,
i just wanted to share some information on the Test "Center" at CBT Training & Consulting GmbH in Munich.

I definitely can not recommend it!

It is quite easy to find. But already at the reception/registration they were absolutely incapable of communicating on a normal friendly level.

The environment is not the best, but could be worse.
You take the test in a room with other people who are apparently doing other tests.
Therefore they will come and go at quite different times. Noise level was pretty average, since they had air conditioning on at full blast and the windows open.
The upside is, you have an own box, they provide Ohropax and they give you some basic headphones which you can use to block out some of the noise.
If you need something, you can call them via a button. But the staff was totally unresponsive, unfriendly and not willing to explain anything about the process. This was quite annoying, the effort for the exam conditions felt like minimum.
Additionally, the computer's response to the keyboard was quite slow, so you cannot write your AWA on a normal-fast speed.
Also the sensitivity of the mouse was low, therefore it takes ages to just move the mouse over the screen just to click on the "next" button.

The staff (two women) did provide the usual basic information about the test, but no information on how they themselves handle the check-in and check-out process. Since there are two types of lockers, but only one requires a key, so you are only allowed to access one of them during breaks, although they are right next to each other.
The staff was unable to answer any questions. Not that i think they would be incapable, but it felt like they were not happy doing this in the first place and had something better to do.

The waiting room is quite nice, they provide snacks and something to drink. But who in their right mind would go to a test center without their own snacks and drinks!?

So overall i felt like the setup was quite good in some way, but the technical details, the process and the staff were totally unsatisfiying.

People in the test centre were super friendly and certainly deserved a 5 star rating.

However, the test center is located next to a large construction site and even though you get earplugs you still hear some of the work going on.

I hope this helps some of you, and I might update the review once I see that the cranes are gone.
The facility itself is decent, screens are readable and there are plenty of pens in case yours run dry.

So basically everything warrants a five stars rating, but as long as the construction noise distracts people I have to keep this one capped at 4.

The test centre at Banglore was quite good with proper lighting, air conditioning, muffled sounds and a good computer system. It was a good experience giving GMAT at this centre.
The centre is located at a place which is easily reachable from any corner of the city and has a good environment. I felt optimistic when I reached the centre. Also, the chairs and table are ergonomic which makes the test-giving experience an awesome one. You will get a feeling that you can solve any question within time.
I will highly recommend this test centre for anyone. Just time your test well in advance as the booking is quite difficult to get sometimes.
