Center * Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center
Location Mumbai, India
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
Center * Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center
Location Bangkok, Thailand
There are 6 available stations. the monitor screens are quite large making it harder to read from one side to another. The instructor is clear with the instruction. The board given was a bit old therefore you can see some black marks on them. The toilet is within the close facilities. Overall okay would recommend it. There's only one test center in Bangkok so no other choice. Pros: in the city (near subway), nearby food vendor around, friendly test proctors, free refill water fountain Cons: small room (people with claustrophobia can have a difficult time), no free parking, extra-large monitor screens

In case you call them, they are very helpful on the line. The location of the test center is convenient and easily accessible by a variety of public transportation. There are four available seats inside a room. The room is silent. I have not taken the exam yet, but I have visited the center and staff. Covid-19 impacts the testing conditions both positively and negatively. They let only two people at a time, yet a test taker should wear a mask during the exam. After I take the exam, I will add more details. Good luck to all of you with your studies.

The Exam-Centre is well maintained and clean , all COVID protocols Followed and Safe distance maintained between each Candidate.
Parking facility : Underground Parking facility is there.
Washroom - The Washroom is just opposite to the centre, since it is in a commercial Building it is a shared washroom. However it is well maintained and you wont face any issue as such.
Invigilator Reviews : Professional and Helpful. (They also keep track of your break time, provided you inform them before hand)
Environment : Comfortable. Noise Cancelling Ear plugs provided, the Screens are pretty large and placed at a height.
If someone is used to laptop then they might take some time to get used to it.
Locker Facility is adequate and you can keep your eatables in there along with your jacket, please note that you are not allowed to wear jacket inside the examination hall.
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.
Center * Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center
Location Cochin, India
I registered for the test at the Rajagiri social sciences college which houses the Pearson VUE test center. On google the college location is at Kalamassery whereas in the official GMAT mail, it is mentioned to be at Kakkanad. Make sure you call them and confirm on the location which is at Kakkanad. Do not confuse with the one on google maps.
The test center has a small entry room where bags can be kept in a locker. The test center administrator was a helpful chap who escorted me to a waiting room since I reached an hour earlier than the reporting time. The room is an air conditioned room with 8-10 test computers. There is a lack of standardization here since the monitor's are of different sizes. The monitor assigned to me was 16 inches but there were others with 24 inch monitors. The center suffers from frequent power outages which leave the room dark. The only light source is the monitor light source and this happened at least 3 times during my test for intervals lasting as long as 5-10 mins. This is an unacceptable condition for the test takers.

Location New Delhi, India
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.

Location Hyderabad, India
I reached the test center location quite sometime before the actual test time. They anyhow began the verification process when I was comfortable with, and began with my test 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time. All the staff were very friendly and not to the slightness did they made me feel any pressure. Had a bit a problem with the signature not matching on my passport and the digital signature I gave on test day. The lady staff took care of that and calmly asked to sign again. One advice that i would give is to thoroughly check with the markers they provide. If you feel you want to get it changed, do it. You have paid for it.

Location Noida, India
The Pearson Professional Center in Noida is one of the state of art test centres for taking the GMAT exam in Delhi-NCR. It is situated at a very posh locality and can be found very easily for students going to take the GMAT Exam. The exam center is very clean and follows all the proper sanitary and hygienic practices. The staff is very helping and cater to all your basic needs. A scratch pad and marker is provided before the beginning of the exam and you can ask for more scratchpads if you have exhausted your previous one. Also, strict discipline and decorum is maintained during the exam at the center.
Hi. I wanted to know what happens during the power cut. Is the time lost deducted from your exam, or does the timer stop and resume later. Also, I am planning to arrive one day before the exam, so was wondering if there was any decent accommodation nearby
It sort of depends on the situation but in 90% of the situations, you in the losing time. Sometimes you lose a minute or two and sometimes people have reported losing a lot longer.
My suggestion is to request for the administrator to reschedule you due to the loss of time. It is a hassle to do but if you continue taking the test, it will be a hassle anyway because you are unlikely to get a good score with power interruption and losing time.
