Barakhamba Road Center Review

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

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.

not so good but was ok

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The main guy at test centre was good but other support staff were dull .the problem at this test center was that if you raise hand they donot respond quickly , they make you wait for 2 minute , . The stuff which frustrated me most was the time they take during breaks . they change 8 minute break into 4 minute break which will make your mind rushed . this may have affected my score a little bit too . good thing was that older location in newdelhi before current location was even worse as there was too many disturbances from outside . atleast at this center there is no noise interference from outside .

very professional test center

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

The test center was not hard to find. Located on the 10th floor of the BB building, the test center was very professional and strict with its regulations. The staffs gave instructions at the start about how the day would proceed. The only comment is that they suck at keeping time of break and got me penalized for time for the next section; the official remaining break time was not consistent with the remaining time stated by the officer. Other than that, the process was smooth. The facility had a bathroom inside to prevent students from leaving the center. Water couldn’t be brought into the exam room and there was a lot of security to check our identity every time I reentered ting room. The environment was very quiet and there was an overseeing staff who monitored everything.

Lisbon - GMAT - Review

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

I took the GMAT in this facilitiy, and I highly recommend it. Everything was very well prepared, there was not much confusion, and the result was good, which helps of course :)
It is very well located in the center of Lisbon, and it has very good accesses. Also, the placement of the takers is very good since it has a long-distance among them. Lastly, the staff were very nice and always eager to help, making sure that there was not any doubt. All in all, the advice I give for takers in Portugal is that you choose the Lisbon center.

Gmat Center Review- PEARSON PROFESSIONAL CENTERS-GURUGRAM HAR

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The Center is located at a very accessible location with ample parking space. Also, the only center in Gurugram that provide noise cancellation headphones. The environment and staff at the center are perfect. The washrooms are located inside the center itself so you need not worry about rushing too far inside the 8 mins break. The lockers are spacious enough to fit in a large backpack and hence you need not worry about the size of your backpack. The lights, ACs and the system worked perfectly without any surprises. This was my 3rd attempt and I am happy I choose this center. This was way better than my previous 2 centers. The Dwarka center literraly sucks!
Minimum disturbance best results.

Andheri Center. Excellent Experience!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I have been to this Andheri center more than once. It's an excellent center with great amenities and staff members are cordial and helpful.

The center is quite and provides noise cancellation headphones. I think these two facilities are extremely important. If you are planning to take an exam at this center, practice taking a mock exam with overhead headphones just to be comfortable on the test day.

I was told that the hardware up-gradation was recently done at the center. Locker space is provided and was adequate. The toilet space was clean and tidy.

I would highly recommend this center. I am not from Mumbai and I travelled there for my exam.

Bangalore GMAT Test Center - Prestige Atrium, Shivajinagar

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

- Test Center Location: Pearson Professional Centers-Bangalore 2 KAR, Prestige Atrium, Unit 101, Ground Floor
Central Street, Shivajinagar, Bangalore
Karnataka 560001, India
- Nearest points: Cubbon Park Metro(~700 mts), Shivajinagar Bus stand(~400 mts), 10 Mins walk to the center.
- Parking Available (A bit high price, i guess around INR 30 per hour)
- Background Noise: little bit from outside esp. when heavy honking/traffic is there. You can use Noise Cancellation headphones which are available at each desk and quite effective.
- Restroom/Lockers/Drinking Water: Available within the center.
- Computers : Very good condition, Monitors screens are of large size, i struggled initially a bit due to it. Most of the time i had practiced on 11 inch screen.
- Staff: Polite and Helpful.

My score was not up to the mark, so i canceled my score. I would recommend this center to everyone with one thing in mind about small outside noise(I prefer very quiet environment and can be disturbed even with very little noise level) which may not be same for others. Good thing is that 3M Noise cancellation headphones are available at every desk and you can totally be in your own world while giving exam. I would recommend this and will retake at same center if my fate gives another chance.

Test center in Akaretker, Besiktas

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

Located in a convenient place, accessible both by public transport and a car, entrance is not as obvious, from the yard, there is PWC office I believe. Rules weren't as rigid as I expected(or had a wrong perception to begin with), was late by 10 minutes(because of the disguised entrance, its good to come in advance) but was allowed to sit, staff is friendly and professional, you can have drink/snack in breaks, but you must take them off from your bag/backpack and put separately before sitting. There is a WC on the same floor, but you aren't allowed to leave the building. There are 4 stations, all seems new and reliable, staff provides with headphones, pads as usual, in addition you can get earplugs if you more accustomed to. Usually tests are at the morning but sometimes afternoon windows are also open, I do better on afternoon, so that was advantage for me. Overall rather pleasant experience, despite test anxiety. Thanks to the staff and good luck to test takers.

Good test centre, has qwerty keyboard

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

My overall test center experience was great,

1. Location
- easy to find, i took a taxi to the test centre

2. Parking
- didnt use, so no comments

3. Washroom
- Clean and tidy , big enough as per paris standards

4. Test center invigilators
- strict & pleasant

5. Earplugs the typical orange ones were provided

6. English keyboard/QWERTY was available

7. Lockers
- One is assigned a private locker to keep "ALL" the belongings , you can access the same during breaks to have snack/drink, dont access your phone/notes , they wil be in the same locker,

8. Are you thirsty? Don't worry!
- A cold/hot water dispenser is available

9. Environment
- Silent and bright, quite big sized room
This is actually a peasron office and there is a designated reception area for people giving tests/ then you are escorted in the WAR room

10. Temperature
- Moderate (Not too hot, not too cold), i was wearing a light sweater

11. Keyboard & mouse
- Great quality (The condition is good so don't worry about sounds), english keyboard

12. Chair
- Very comfortable

13. One scratchpad & one marker pen was given
-marker will dry out if you keep it open (GMAC, how can you be so naive to give such a faulty marker worldwide, closing the cap/opening it during an exam where time is everything is unacceptable, i am going to send a note to GMAT on this, not that i would be the only one/first one)
