Pearson Professional Centre, Kukatpally, Hyderabad.

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

1. The test center is quite easy to locate if one is living in hyderabad.
2. The building staff is very helpful in locating the the exam room.
3. The test centre staff was quite professional and polite in their conductance.
4. Each and every process regarding passport verification and identification was conducted quite professionally.
5. Noise cancellation earphones were provided for everyone.
6. Computers were properly functioning.
7. Noise levels from external sources were quite minimal.

The only thing that i would recommend to improve is the checking process in after coming back from one of the sectional breaks. The checking, although quite professional and according to the rules, does consume time which might eat away some of the time from the exam.

Overall i had a good test taking experience and i would highly recommend this test centre for future test taking.

Thank you for sharing your insights. Are we allowed to drink water during the exam? I wanted to call and ask but can't find a number on Google. Thanks

Overall satisfied with the center. I took my exam in the morning session (8am onwards). The center was well maintained including its washrooms. The chairs where comfortable and keyboards were working just fine. I felt uncomfortable with the noise cancellation headphones so then they provided me 3M earplugs, which helped a lot. Instructions were clearly informed to us at the beginning of the exam. The whole center was extremely well-lit, and the air conditioning was at optimum level.

Room for improvement- We were only allowed to drink water in between sections or else take a break in the middle of a section but our clock will not be stopped. I have given GMAT exam at other centers too, and those people provided water bottles at every station. At this center, there was a common water dispenser which can be only accessed when you leave your examination room.

Pune GATS centre was nice

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

Being the oldest Pearson Vue authorised centre in Pune, they have maintained a certain standard. Just as other Pearson Vue centers should have lockers, a washroom, and an enclosed testing room, they have maintained it.
The only concer is with the building entrance, if you require a wheelchare access there isn't one. This issue isn't with the test center itself but better to know. The staff is friendly, and professional. They guide you very well.
I know where to give online exams if i have to in Pune. I have good experience while doing my GMAT exam, just that there are many slots which create a little disturbance.

Reliable Test Center

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I have taken GMAT twice at this center located in Solitaire Corporate Park, Chakala, Andheri East, Mumbai. Test taking experience was good both the times, though scores were less than expected. Staff is polite and well trained. We can raise hands for any query during the test and the staff actively comes at our desk in no time. We get noise cancellation headphones and earplugs. We also get locker key to keep our valuables/ water bottle etc. We get two marker pens along with one 10 page laminated booklet. The marker pens were not functioning well and I had to repeatedly raise my hands to replace one after the other, overall wasting a minute during Quants section. AC temperature is comfortable. There are around 10 workstations demarcated by wall-like furniture. Overall it was a good experience except market pens issue.

GATS Pune GMAT test center Review

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

GATS Pune GMAT test center Review
Positives about test center are
- test center was conveniently located. and two wheeler parking is available, four wheeler parking is not available, though i am not 100% of this,
- Location was easy to find and not too far from prime locations in pune city.
- staff was polite
- the noise level from external sources was none

and Negatives are restrooms are little dirty and its small test center.

There are many slots available from 9:15 AM in morning. I selected this center for two reasons, one because of its location and other because of morning slot was available at this center only.

Pearson Professional Center New Delhi

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Gave my first GMAT attempt at Pearson Professional Center, Ashoka Estate, New Delhi.
It was one of the best computer based testing solutions I have ever seen. I have given professional computer based exams like CFA, FRM and CAIA, so I have decent experience with pearson professional centers in different cities.
The center had a restroom and water cooler located conveniently near the testing site to minimize time wastage. They provided extra markers as well as noise cancelling headphones and ear plugs. The staff was extremely courteous and supportive.
If a need arises in future, I'd definitely give another GMAT attempt there, without having to worry about exam jitters.

London Dockyards - GMAT Testing Center

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I took my 2nd GMAT exam in the Pearson Testing venue in the London Dockyards, on the 3rd of October 2018. I had a pleasant experience there, with the proctors being very friendly. This center administers a variety of exams and I had actually visited this center one day for my online multiple-choice Driving test. I saw a couple of people taking the GMAT in the center and immediately decided that I would take mine in this center.
The test center is conveniently located and is very easy to find. The staff were polite, respectful, and friendly. The day I took the exam, I was the only person taking the GMAT, and so, I did not have any issues with noise or other disturbances. The only thing with this center is that sometimes the traffic might make it hard to be on time. So, if you are relaying on the buses or the metro or the DLR, please plan to be there 30 minutes in advance.
I would highly recommend people in London to go for this center if this is close to your house.

Test Center Experience - Shivaji Nagar

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

The test center experience was quite good. It is conveniently located near the Cubbon Park Metro station and hence, is easy to find. The employees are all professional. Do take into consideration that not only does the center conducts GMAT but also other exams. There are appropriate Covid protocols taken as well with everyone wearing masks and ensuring social distancing.
The staff was polite and professional. There were locker facilities to store personal belongings. There was minimal noise level from the street. However, do make a note that there is no parking facility near the center (Or I couldn’t find). Overall a good experience.

Hassle free and convenient

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

I have never seen a test centre so well organised and with such a friendly administration. It really pumps you for the exam and makes the whole experience a little less daunting (exam nervousness is real). The entire process of verification and seat allotment was so organised and hassle free that all you need to focus was on the test, and not anything. This really helps in such a mental exam, like the gmat where being calm and composed is the trick. The centre is well located and can be easily located via google maps. The cab took me right to the center without having to worry about getting lost in Noida roads.

Small tucked-in center, can't complain

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The Mumbai test center is small but well located in a software IT park in one of the lower floors. Has a narrow door opening, but the guards below know it and can direct
The staff is polite (Actually they don't interact much which is good) and carries out all guidelines as necessary. I appeared during July 2020, and COVID-19 guidelines were all followed. They didn't ask for a RT-PCR report at that time.
The restroom and other facilities were well maintained and noise level minimum. However I did have a noisy chair, but with the noise cancelling headphones it didn't really make a difference
