Hyderabad Pearson Test Centre

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

Would make the product better:

Parking Space

Test centre is quite easy to locate, although they don't have their own parking. You need to park your vehicle outside on your own risk. Plus, they don't allow anyone else beside the test taker even inside the buliding, not even to the rest room or lounge area. The test centre is on the 4th floor, extremely well maintained, proper insulation from street noises. The staff is very professional and helpful. I had a very smooth check in both times during the start of the exam and during break. They provide noie cancellation headphones too at each station and you can request for earplugs too if you find them bulky.

The staff is well versed with the onboarding process and conduct all necessary protocols with utmost seriousness and professionalism. They are prompt at catering to mid-exam break requirements. The center is well-equipped, the AC's work fine, the exam space and center washrooms are clean.

However, During my exam, there was blaring music coming from the nearby metro station. It seemed like a one-off situation, and I was provided with earplugs along with the noise cancellation headphones to easy the discomfort.

Overall, the experience was comfortable, and the environment was exam friendly. The onboarding process was quick, and the invigilators were understanding and cordial.

I had a good overall experience at the GMAT exam center in Mumbai. The location was easy to find, as it was clearly listed on Google Maps, which helped reduce stress on the test day. Parking space was available, which made it convenient to reach by car. The center itself was spacious and well-maintained, creating a professional atmosphere. I visited two days before my exam just to familiarize myself with the route and surroundings, which proved very helpful in avoiding last-minute confusion. The staff was organized, and the facilities felt reliable. Overall, a smooth and comfortable testing experience. all the beast

One of the best exam experiences ever

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Strengths:

- Extremely professional staff
- Well maintained equipment and place

Would make the product better:

- Quality of the markers

The exam center was excellent absolutely no external noise or disturbances. It felt like I was alone in a vacuum, creating the perfect environment for maximum concentration. Growing up in India, most of our exam centers tend to be a bit noisy, with constant background activity. I still remember during the CAT exam, an invigilator came over in the middle of the test and asked me to sign a paper, those two minutes could’ve easily been spent solving a question!

Naturally, I was a bit nervous about how the GMAT would go, especially since I had completed all my mock tests in a quiet, well-lit environment. But thankfully, the real test conditions matched that perfectly. There were zero external factors interfering with my performance.

While $250 is definitely on the higher side for most Indians, I genuinely feel it's worth the investment.

Dekhi - Barakhamba Centre

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Strengths:

- Professional and quick
- Clean and quite

Would make the product better:

-If stepping out for a quick fresh air is possible

It was the Barakhamba test centre in delhi. You are allowed to access your locker and food during the break. Everything was fine, was just hoping if stepping out for a quick fresh air is possible.
Water is available there.. the 10 min break though seems short but during exam time.. you won’t be able to finish your 10 min break… the scratch pads were the most difficult thing, not at all comfortable to use… they also have headphones if you want to use.. although there is no noise … pockets and everything is thoroughly checked even when you return from break.. during the exam if you need scratch pads just raise your hand and you’ll get it… all in all everything was fine, I was just hoping to step out for fresh air during my break.

Calm and Good Environment

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Strengths:

Silence, Neat and Clean

Would make the product better:

N/A

I have booked my test here in August 2024, the centre is very neat and clean and there was pin drop silence as well. The staff was very helpful and supportive in nature. There is locker facility as well wherein you can keep your bags and food items.

However, one thing I wish they have done is there should be sitting space outside the centre as if you reach early, you just need to roam here and there and sometimes, it's too much heat as well.

I would highly recommend to book your test centre here if you live in Delhi NCR region.

GMAT Test Center Experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

1. Arrival and Check-in Process
First off, they don't start the test at a fixed time for everyone. Instead, you'll be let into the testing room in the order you arrive after completing the check-in process. I highly recommend getting there about 20-30 minutes early. This gives you enough time to read through all the instructions, store your belongings in a locker, and complete the identity verification.

2. Inside the Test Center
When you enter the test center, you'll find a waiting area with lockers on either side and the main reception desk straight ahead. You'll need to submit your ID at the desk and confirm the test you're taking. After reviewing the security regulations and other important information, you'll go through a biometric registration (right hand scan and face photo). Once that's done, you'll get a locker key and have some time to spare before heading into the testing room.

3. Entering the Testing Room
There are testing rooms on both sides of the reception desk. When it's your turn, the staff will direct you. You'll take your locker key with you (no personal belongings are allowed in the testing room). Before you enter, you'll go through another round of ID and security checks. Earplugs are available if you need them.

4. During the Test and Breaks
Each seat in the testing room has a partition, and everyone will be taking different exams. When you need a break, raise your hand, and a test administrator will guide you through the process. Keep in mind that the check-out and re-entry procedures (including ID verification) are the same each time, so your actual break time is only about 6-7 minutes. Also, it's important to remember that using your phone or reviewing study materials during breaks is strictly prohibited.
