Center * Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center
Location Tashkent, Uzbekistan
The test center is located in the Chilanzar district of Tashkent, not too far from metro Mirzo Ulugbek. The invigilator usually comes 10-15 minutes earlier than the appointment time, so do not panic if you do not see him 30-20 minutes before the exam. He is very kind and helpful. The exam room is very small and has 3 computers. Monitors are small and old may be lower resolution than your usual monitor. The room is cooled with air conditioner if the room gets too hot or cold please do not be shy and ask for help the invigilator would be more than happy to help.

I had given my GMAT on test center Mumbai, Andheri.
Overall experience was good. the staff is very professional.
I did not face the noise around at all. The room are clear and silent. Although the soundproof headphones are also provided but I did not use it, since I don't like using them.
Washrooms are clean. Locker keys are provided to be carries in the exam room .
The center had made proper arrangements for sanitization. Masks are mandatory and you will need to keep mask on all the time.
Somehow I felt the markers was not that good. It was getting dry very soon. I had to replace them twice during the exam.
Overall good experience.

The university's name has been changed to Sushant University. No issues with the centre. The pen and pad provided were fine. Washroom was right next to the centre and was clean. I was also given earplugs by the invigilator. The air conditioner was functioning. The invigilator reached the centre 15 minutes after the exam was supposed to start, but apart from that, no issues. No problems with the mouse and keyboard. No noise issue either, but this might've been because the University was pretty much closed. Locker is available at the centre. I was allowed to take out stuff from my bag during the breaks. I didn't have to call the invigilator for anything so can't say anything about responsiveness. In summary, a good centre to give the test.

I took my test 3 years ago and this is a review about the test center. I guess the best thing is the silence they maintain. Sometimes it becomes an issue because you have a technical glitch and you can't speak up. They also have water and lockers outside so we don't have to go outside. There is a washroom close by in case you need to use the facilities. It is not that clean though. One thing we must remember is that the breaks automatically end once the time is over. The camera is recording everything, this can make you feel a little intimidated. The calculator is a bit tough to use, hence try to make some calculations on paper.

The Pearson VUE Test Center at Barakhamba Road is one of the best centers to give GMAT in Delhi.
The center was quite easy to locate as I came using Google Maps. The Delhi Metro is also very near to the center.
The people at the center acted very professionally & politely.
The overall center had all the proper facilities of restroom & water.
The center was quite silent which helped me be focussed. There was enough light in the test room so my eyes weren't strained at all.
I would recommend all the Delhi folks to give the test here at Barakhamba Road only.

I wrote my GMAT exam last year at the delhi center near Hauz khas. The best thing about the center was that it was close to my house and as such at a centrally located market in the city. The premises were clean & as such all the required facilities were there. the only thing was while i was giving the test, there was some noise from the market outside which was distracting.
They do give headphones for noise cancellation, but its irritating to wear those after some time.
Although im not sure if the center is still operational. This time while booking my gmat date i couldn't locate it, so had to pick gurugram, which is technically in a different state

I visited this test center two times so far. It is located at a business park in Espoo. Not difficult to find the place.
I give five star to facilities. There is wide variety of tea you can pick for yourself in the break. There are lockers for your stuffs and little food boxes for your snacks. Downstairs coffee place if you need to grab a fast snack or coffee before the exam.
Restroom was all right. I guess it would be nice to have at least two toilet. In case candidates have break the same time. Eight minutes isn't much.
I don't have a big head but the noise canceler is crazy tight. Pushing out all the knowledge I hardly gained :P
My first time test experience was far away from desired: I barely had my breaks. I needed to wait 2+minutes to be noticed when I wanted to go out. The girl handling check-in and check-out of candidates was not very prepared maybe she just started working there. One of the candidates got checked-in for the second part of the test with 2 minutes delay because she couldn't find the administrating girl.
I feared that something similar will happen next occasion but because of the lack of choices in Finland and because of my poor result, I needed to go again. Surprisingly, for my second time, a much more efficient system has been developed. You could go out, administrative person was promptly available to check me out. and by the time I palm-checked in, the codes to enter the exam had been typed in my cp. Just needed to click continue. Way more efficient. Less stressful.

I just took the test on September 24, 2019, and would like to share my experience of the test center. But, before I get into the details have you heard of ' The Butterfly Effect' - The flapping of wings of a tiny creature as small as a butterfly can even cause a storm.
The test center is located Tower2, World trade center, Eon free zone, Kharadi, Pune. it is not at all difficult to find the test center given the popularity of the landmark. But, it is located at one extreme end of the city. If like me, you are commuting from the other extreme end of the city it can take up to or over 2 hours(chances are you will face heavy traffic) to reach the test center. I would request that you plan your commute accordingly and keep at least half-an-hour as buffer. Reaching very early won't help you as the security won't allow you beyond the reception before 1 hour of your appointment. Still, if you reach very early there are couple of cafes located in the business park or the campus and you might consider waiting there.
Once you reached world trade center, you need to go to Tower 2 which is the first tower on the left as soon as you enter through the gate. You need to request the receptionist to check you in and she will ask for your ID and will click your digital photograph. After that, you will be provided with a temporary pass which authorizes you to go to test center located on the fifth floor.
Once you reach the fifth floor navigate and find the Pearson center as the tower consists multiple offices. Once you find it, it would suggest do not enter but rather check the nearest restroom and make yourself comfortable. Check, the time left and prepare yourself mentally for test. The gates of the test center are always locked and once you go near it security would be sitting on the other side of the glassdoor and will ask your appointment time. He will confirm with the admin and then let you in after you switch off your cellphone completely.
Now once you're in the admin will ask which exam you came for as the center conducts different exams at the same time. Once you confirm, he/she will ask for PASSPORT BOOK and will verify the details and will tell you the locker number in which you can put your belongings. He will give you a DO's and Dont's card and will ask to go through. Remember, you won't have enough time to make yourself comfortable so be prepared unlike me. All your belongings should be in your bag except eatables,medicines and eye drops that you want to access during breaks. You won't be allowed to wear the light sweater which GMAT HANDBOOK mentions and will have to store your jacket in the locker. Also, you may consider bringing a handkerchief to wipe your face in case you plan to splash water on your face during breaks or wipe off any smudge on your specs. Even, that innocent piece of cloth isn't allowed sadly and has to be kept in the locker{ not in your bag}. In short, you can access your locker during the breaks but your bag ( consider untouchable).
The test center infrastructure is very good and is in line with what GMAT claims. But, please do not violate any rules the guys are very strict in there and can cancel your score. Ask what considers to be a violation to mitigate gray areas.
I will be re-taking the GMAT again and my performance was not even close to my preparation levels. Things can go out of hand pretty quickly even before you realize. I learned a lot from this experience and want the folks in the community to not learn the HARD way.
Please, reach out if you have any queries.
P.S It is a long review, but believe me I didn't want to leave any areas unexplored so that people can anticipate and prepare for what's coming.
Thank you for your review of the WTC GMAT test-taking center! I was kinda looking forward to reading someone's experience with that center as I'm about to retake my GMAT & would be picking that. If you're also retaking in the next month, let me know if you'd like to practice together sometime? I have a few friends who study with me but they might be moving away from Pune.
Hi, @sharmishthabalwan I hope you're doing well and your prep is going well!
I am also preparing for a re-take and would take the test roughly in a month's time.
It would be a good idea to connect.
I will send you ping in the gmatclub inbox.

Location Moscow, Russia
Hi, folks, this is a brief review of the Moscow test center, in which I passed my first GMAT.
The center is located near the Oktyabrskaya metro station (the brown line). It takes about 5 minutes to get into the building, when you are out of the underground, and approximately 5 minutes to register at the reception and get on 5fth floor.
The personal is quite friendly: and old man and a woman. No problems with them were met; all questions asked by me were answered properly.
The room, where the GMAT is taken is of medium size, chairs are comfortable. However, the computer screens are quite small. Ear plugs are provided.
There is also a toilet near the test room and a water cooler, so all the necessary things during the exam break do not take a lot of time.
Thank you for your attention.
4/5 due to small screens and a bit old building
Hi was the mask mandatory or you can slid a mask just below the nose?
This is probably one of the best test centres out there. The staff is very cooperative and it has noise fee environment idle for taking the test without any distractions. Highly recommended for anyone who’s looking to take the test around Delhi.
