Very Quiet and Comfortable.

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

Alright then , My very first experience with GMAT and the centre i took was In andheri East Chakala Pearson vue , i am actually very glad i took that center because it was nothing but a very quiet and student friendly place. People were quiet helpful and always there when you need them for anything. One drawback i found at that time was that i couldn't find a place nearby to Eat but then i am talking about 2015 who knows if there is now available places to eat there. My overall experience was fabulous and i think if you are choosing this center you wont be disappointed

Pearson Pune Test Center

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Pearson VUE Test Center is situated at Chaitanya Nagar, Kothrud, Pune.

The test centre is very easy to find.

The supervisor is very helpful.
Once you reach the centre you are asked to keep all your belongings in a locker. They provide you with the key for the same.

You have to switch off your electronic devices before putting them in the locker.

Then, you are asked to provide your identification documents. Post this you will have to put your palm on the scan machine and also get a picture of yourself clicked.

There is no disturbance in the surrounding so you can give a noise free attempt.

All in all a good experience and I would recommend all in Pune to book your test at this centre.

GMAT test center- Uunisoft Technologies (AECS Layout)

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The test center is fairly peaceful and has 4 testing stations. It is located on the first floor and the location is not so obvious. I walked up the stair till 4th floor and then only realized that it was on the 1st floor itself. It is not explicitly visible when you reach the first floor. The staff was good and the systems were working fine. Only glitch I felt was during the essay in the last 30 minutes when the systems kind of restarted, which they say is a standard process during slot change(so prepare to reach before the scheduled time so as to be able to start test much before the hard stop when the restart the systems in between and you may lose 1-2 minutes. Apart from this, there was no other issue I faced at this center. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my score and that is why you won't see any verified score for my profile. I will be retaking the test in a month's time.

Decent Test Taking Center in Hong Kong

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center is probably above average in my opinion.

The building where the test center is located is conveniently located right next to an MTR exit with multiple bus stations nearby.

The test center itself is a little harder to locate as it was at the corner of the floor, right next to a local law firm.

The staff members who worked there were very strict and stoic, so don't be intimidated by them.

There was big room in the test taking center that consists of around 15 seats, all of them facing the wall in the form of cubicle partitions.

The room was fairly quiet and the noise cancellation ear plugs worked great. The AC and the lighting were pretty comfortable as well.

It's a decent location after all, but as I am done with GMAT, I am not heading back there.

Good luck to everyone else who is planning to take a test there.

VUE

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

The test center was clean and quit without any people walking around or going in-n-out. The only problem was they ( the staff or computers) scheduled every test taker at the same time and the front office was cluttered with students. The scheduling mistake created additional time and an unprofessional feeling among the staff and students. The test center offered lockers for test takers to store their belongings and beverages. There was a requirement to raise your hand and a staff member would accompany the test taker and dismiss him or her for a break. Overall, a clean testing environment with plenty of parking next to the front door.

Zero Noise

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

this center is really great for giving the exam because they have soundproofed everything, and even the instructor is good, there are many advantages of this test center first, its location, even though Pune city is quite large and it has only two exam center for GMAT by Pearson Vue, it is strategically placed, second, Staff is very polite, they have everything very well arranged in there, so you cant get confused, restroom is very clean, proper arrangement for hot and cold water, it is on the 3rd floor of the building, even if you forget to bring some thing such as Xerox, there is a stationary shop down the building , thus i highly reccomend this center if you are residing in pune

Review of Pune GMAT test center

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

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

Not too bad

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

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.

Great experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

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.

Good.... But plenty of room for improvement

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

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.
