Test center is easily accessible . On Maps ,one can easily track it .On reaching the location it might be a little difficult to spot where exactly it is , but there is sign board by the road that can guide you.
Staff is extremely polite and way too helpful.You get lockers to keep your stuff. Only passport and notepad and pen that is provided is allowed.Water is not allowed. Jackets are not allowed to keep with you. IF you want to wear and go ,then it is ok else they will ask to keep in locker.
Restroom is not good. Door knob was not working ,so couldn't use it .
External noises are an issue when you take afternoon slot and by luck get to be close to window seat. Mine was in morning , so noises were minimum.
Also ear plugs are provided , so you can opt for it to have noise cancellation.
For retake i don't have any other option as PUne has only this test center so probably yes , will have to chose this again.
Pearson should consider opening enough test centers in PUne.
Also there are only 12-15 slots only , so if your application deadline is near , prefer booking in advance

The test center in Surulere, Lagos was well located, although I think the description is not too clear as I was almost missed the center. Staff were okay and respectful, not totally polite I must say, but I can attribute that to one of the staff personal manner.
The facilities were in order. However the computer keyboard were not modern and I had issues typing for my AWA, it also makes noises and distracts other test takers. The test room was small and test takers are too close to each other. The center had a nice restroom and secured locker for keeping your items. Noise level was minimal and almost close to absence.

Key factors -
Location - It is quite far from OMR Road. So, I had to travel for around 2 hrs to reach center.
Ambiance - Ambiance is good. There was no external disturbance and controllers were co-operative.
Technical - Computers were Good.

Thanks

As this is a pearson centre , everything went well. Exam started at right time. Proctors were very helpful. Higly recommend this Centre in chennai. Air Conditioning is good. You can have snacks during breaks. They will not allow you out during break. They are asking for passport. Not sure if they allow you without passport.


Thanks and Regards

For Seoul Pearson GMAT test center, I give 3 stars out of 5 stars.


1. Location:
Location could not be better if you are living in norther part of Seoul or Gangbuk as locals call it. It is within 5 minutes walk from Seoul City Hall subway station which makes it convinient to approach. Also, there is a huge Starbucks on ground floor where you can stay to relax and prepare before the test. On the left to the entrance of the building is a 7 Eleven so you can purchase some fruit or snack to be eaten later during break as well.


2. Center it self:
This is where some stars come off. Let me first tell you that I do not mean the facility is bad. It is very clean and quiet and room temparature is just fine so that you can take test without any discomfort.

However, the atmospher is way too strict. There is an automatic lock in the center door which can only be opened by the staff if you are outside (If you are inside, you can open it yourself with a button but a staff will still have to re-open it for you when you want to come back in). So even if you want to visit the rest room during break, there is unnecessary time loss because you have to wait until the door is opened by the staff. I think it is due to this reason that the staffs strongly tell you that even though the break is 8 mins, we are to comeback within 5 mins.

Another problem is that the center itself is small and will probably hold about 30 people maximum. (There are two test rooms each with about 15 people) Since you are booking your exam beforehand anyway, there is no problem of taking the test on the day. However, because of its size, it takes so much time to get security check before the test. So I suggest you arrive to the center at least 40 mins if you are on tight schedule or you are probably going to be delayed because your test will start late.


In short, it is not a bad center but being small and too strict, it is not optimal for test attendees who are already under enough stress. Sad truth though is that this is the only center in Seoul so if you are in Seoul, this is your only option.

Pearson Professional Centre in Bangkok, Thailand is centrally located in Soi Sukhumvit 21 or Asok Montri Rd. Specifically, the test centre is located on the 10th Fl. of B.B. Bldg., which is within reach of many public transportations (BTS, MRT, Khlong Saen Saep Express Boat, etc.). Car parking is also available at a fee (even if you have your ticket stamped).

Normally, there are two staff at the centre; they will walk you through every step and you can ask them anything before you begin. Test takers are obliged to comply with all the rules and regulations. Your will be requested to store your belongings in the lockers. Note that before you enter the testing room, you can ask for earplugs to refrain your ears from external noises and keep you concentrated

There are a total of 6 available seatings, each equipped with standard computer set and enough room to lay down your notepad. During breaks, because there is only 1 in-house toilet, you can opt to take your break outside (walk back toward the elevators). For refreshment, there is a water cooler inside the centre.

I had pleasant experiences at the Pearson Professional Centre and I would recommend anyone who currently stay in Bangkok and plan to take GMAT to choose this test centre, especially for its location (just be sure to keep in mind the Bangkok traffic).

The center is well marked on google maps and easy to spot. The staff was polite and courteous. The computers werent the latest but were good enough for the test. I didnt face any issue with logging in or logging out during the entire test. The inviligator made sure I was seated back before my break time elapsed which was really nice. There were 5 other students giving multiple types of exams and everyone was well instructed about all the rules. I got my score promptly without any issues. The test center was peaceful and didnt have any distractions. If you are looking at this center for an exam then please go right ahead and book it.

1. The experience on the test center was somewhat okay.
2. The test center is small. Only one invigilator.
3. The instance that happened with me: I kept waving my hand for some assistance, but the guy sitting was busy on a call . I actually had to stand up and go out to call him. Only advice for the center is to keep an invigilator to be more vigilant.
4. Location is quite convenient. In addition to that, there is a metro station only five minutes away. You will need to take an auto.
5. Restroom facility is good, since the center is located in Ansal University
6. I would prefer the Noida location for my second attempt.
7. No noise from external sources except for the typing on the keyboard by the fellow test takers. For that you surely need to have ear plugs, which the center fortunately provides.

The test center is very very cramped. it literally looks like 1990's cyber cafe. my computer got hanged 2-3 times and i lost around 3 minutes every time.
The person in charge never responds if lift your hand. you have to run outside if you face any problem. the restroom was quite ok. the test centre is easy to locate. There was definitely a lot of traffic noise while writing the exam. When i was writing the exam, there were 4 people who were taking the exam along with me.One person was shaking the table and the whole bench was shaking . I pointed it out to the in charge , he was least bothered to even tell the person.If were to retake, i will retake in another location.

This review is for the test center on Dickenson Road (Off MG Road). The test center is easy to locate. Staff are generally helpful. There is just one restroom, which I feel could be maintained better. External noise level isnt an issue, noise cancelling headphones are provided on request. The testing area is neat and well maintained. Do note there is no elevator (kind of like big bang theory), hence be careful on the 3 flights of narrow stairs. There is a water dispenser and the waiting area is pleasant for taking breaks in between sections.Overall a good testing experience.
