Good centre to take GMAT test

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Key factors -
Location - It is quite far from OMR Road. So, I had to travel for around 2 hrs to reach center.
Ambiance - Ambiance is good. There was no external disturbance and controllers were co-operative.
Technical - Computers were Good.

Thanks

As this is a pearson centre , everything went well. Exam started at right time. Proctors were very helpful. Higly recommend this Centre in chennai. Air Conditioning is good. You can have snacks during breaks. They will not allow you out during break. They are asking for passport. Not sure if they allow you without passport.


Thanks and Regards
Anudeep

Pleasant Experiences at Pearson Professional Centre (BKK)

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Pearson Professional Centre in Bangkok, Thailand is centrally located in Soi Sukhumvit 21 or Asok Montri Rd. Specifically, the test centre is located on the 10th Fl. of B.B. Bldg., which is within reach of many public transportations (BTS, MRT, Khlong Saen Saep Express Boat, etc.). Car parking is also available at a fee (even if you have your ticket stamped).

Normally, there are two staff at the centre; they will walk you through every step and you can ask them anything before you begin. Test takers are obliged to comply with all the rules and regulations. Your will be requested to store your belongings in the lockers. Note that before you enter the testing room, you can ask for earplugs to refrain your ears from external noises and keep you concentrated

There are a total of 6 available seatings, each equipped with standard computer set and enough room to lay down your notepad. During breaks, because there is only 1 in-house toilet, you can opt to take your break outside (walk back toward the elevators). For refreshment, there is a water cooler inside the centre.

I had pleasant experiences at the Pearson Professional Centre and I would recommend anyone who currently stay in Bangkok and plan to take GMAT to choose this test centre, especially for its location (just be sure to keep in mind the Bangkok traffic).

Experience at Pearson VUE test centre Mumbai

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

-Location: Located inside a business hub. Exam center location available on google maps is reliable. Ask the security staff at the gate to guide you inside the building campus.
- It was easy to find.
- Staff: Very professional and helpful. Very prompt in assisting with pen or scratch pad. They provide you with two marker.
- Facilities: Restrooms were very clean. Restrooms are located just next to the exam hall. Lockers are a little far aways. Size of the locker was appropriate. Good quality noise cancellation headphones.
- Noise level: Zero. It can't get better.
- I would prefer to retake here only.
Strongly recommended.

very good !

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Parking facility : There was enough parking space for a two-wheeler, cars would be parked on the roadside I guess, not a problem.
Invigilator Reviews : They were nice except for nobody came to respond twice in the middle of the Quants section. Both the pens provided got dried and it was quite tough situation, more on this later.
Environment : The center is roadside, so there are vehicular noises, but Range Hill Rd. is quite serene compared to the mad traffic on other city roads. You don't need to worry much about noises, it was fine with an earplug. The room for six was quite congested (like a typical cybercafe in India) and be ready to tolerate fanatic sounds of keyboard strokes.

Chennai GMAT test center

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I have heard many stories about how horrible a test center can be and many of my friends faced various issues at their test centers. After hearing those reviews, i was more than afraid about the environment inside and outside the test center. I was praying that there shall not be any construction site or market near the center and inside the center no problems shall be there. Believe me the experience was awesome. The faculty is very friendly. The center is a very comfortable place with no or minimal disturbances. As students appearing for different exams type through so keyboard sounds might bug you a little but that is also well managed by separating every student by sound proof barriers and you will also get one noise cancellation headsets. Personally i dont like those headsets as they generally are very tight for obvious reasons and also I would suggest Pearson Vue to use ear plugs instead.

All in all that place is a very comfortable place with no issues at all.

Recommended - Pearson High Holborn

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

I was taking my third GMAT in London, High Holborn. I took other two GMAT in two different locations, and I can say that this is the best place among three.

1. Easy to access and easy to find. I stayed in Hyde Park, and only need less than 30 minutes using underground. Just 5 minutes walking from exit Holborn Underground Station.
2. I think all of the Pearson staffs were polite and respectful, no big issue about it.
3. Because of the location, I could find many test-takers. I think I met with more than 10 test takers here. Pearson provides three separate rooms for all of us. Everything was perfect, no issue.

Overall, I was satisfied. I am taking my fourth GMAT again in this center. Wish me luck!

Great centre

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The test center was not too difficult to find. It is in a one-story building, with lots of parking around it. The people who work at this site are all very friendly. They provide all the things you need for the test and very quick in reacting when you raise your hand for additional help. The computers, tables, etc are clean and the chair is not uncomfortable to sit in. Overall its a good site to take the test. It's a pretty quiet facility, so you wont get too much distraction besides the typing noise of other people. They do have ear plugs you can use to avoid the typing noise

best test center ever

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The staff is extremely professional . I arrived 30 mins early and the staff was very courteous. The test center was very spacious clean and organised. The washrooms were also very clean and the check in after the two breaks was also very smooth. The center can be easily located and is only 10 mins by auto from andheri station. All in all i got a score of 720 and it was a great experience. Also whenever it came to getting an extra marker or anything you need the staff would quickly answer. Also the locker for keeping your stuff was in good condition. The temperature was also very comfortable

Pearson - Bellaire Location

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Test center was very conveniently located (other locations are outside in the loop in the NW and SE locations). Center itself was relatively easy to find, although the parking is slightly confusing so i'd recommend visiting in person (parking structure is in a different building than the actual test center). Staff was very polite and professional, which was great so as to have 1 less thing to worry about on test day. Facilities were more than adequate. Noise level wasn't a factor.

I've also taken the exam at the SE Houston location. I would recommend the Bellaire location over the SE Houston location due to ease of accessibility and test center proximity.

Very Professional

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

This test center (Begumpet area) is just what a GMAT exam needs. I was surprised and extremely impressed with their professionalism and neatness with which they conducted the whole of 4 hours of test for each and every candidate. Repeating every necessary step with a smile on their faces and very prompt.
I was pretty scared how the people would be conducting the test of such importance, but the atmosphere was just what one needs to stay focused on their exam, with no worries about the nitty gritties.
I am more surprised because of my bad experience at the other center in Hyderabad, which can be rated at 1 when compared to this center. All's well that ends well!
For those planning to take someone with them for support, please be informed that there is no waiting room here, so you need to have other arrangements for your partner/friend to stay while the test goes on. Sitting outside the center will not be a feasible option, as inside the center only the candidates are allowed. Once the test is over, you have to promptly collect your belongings and score (if reported) and leave.
To some it may feel uncomfortable, but I think this is how they maintain the sanctity of the test center which is crucial to our performance too.
