A very well maintained GMAT Test Centre. There is enough parking space (paid parking) for four-wheelers as well as two-wheelers. The check-in process was very straight forward and simple. There was a locker facility and the lockers have space to fit in a bag pack. The washrooms were clean. If you reach early there is space in front of the building to just wait, read, or walk. The test centre is on the ground floor (to the left as you enter the main building from the front door). The cabins for individuals were good enough. Please check the markers and keep them capped when not in use. They dry pretty quickly.

I had given my first GMAT test on 25 November, 2014 at test center named "A1 Professional Assessment Center" located in Ahmedabad , Gujarat . The test center is located in Satellite Area, Near Shyamal Cross Roads.
Location of the test center can be find out quite easily as it is inside a Big Mall . One can reach the test center by any Public or Private transport.

Staff at the test center was quite co-operative and helpful. My slot was 2:00 pm. I had reached before time. Freshen up facilities are nearby. Also, noise levels were very low even in the day time. The only problem I faced was during my AWA section as typing sound from other keyboards were disturbing me. Temperature was well maintained as it was almost starting of winter. Locker facility was available at the center. Sitting capacity was for 6 students at a time. Scratch pads and markers were in good condition. Ear plugs were new. The response of the staff for scratch pads was a bit slow.

Quiet as expected but Monitor was a bit distant. I think the sitting arrangement can improve a bit. Sitting should be flexible.

I think the sitting arrangement should enable the test taker to adjust the distance of the monitor from the seat in a way that the monitor does not stay so far from the seat.

For lack of flexibility of the sitting, I could not effortlessly watch the monitor and comfortably progress through questions.

Therefore, I think we should make them aware of their lacking and suggest to them a proper course of action in improving the exam hall settings so that test-takers feel comfort and display their best performance in the test day.

The test center is located in the center of the capital city Ranchi. The test center was just next to BIT Lalpur in Amrawati Complex. I reached the center about half an hour before my test, I was the only test-taker on that day so firstly they gave me a chair to wait outside and the regular formalities of COVID after that the exam. The Centre was nicely cleaned and the staff took all measures to minimize physical contact my test went on smooth.

The test center is very convenienty located in Barber lane with ample parking space. When i entered into the center, i was directed to the storage lockers and was given clear instructions of what to do and what not to do.

I went in early and i was informed that there was slots available and i could be accomodated early and it helped me a lot.

Coming to the most important factor - exam experience - The test center was very quiet , systems were good and i was provided Good earpieces , pen and sheets.
This test center had everything a candidate would want in a test center. I highly recommend this test center.

I took a test amidst of COVID pandemic. I was super happy the test center was open. We were required to wear masks the whole time, which was not a big deal, since I got myself a good medical mask, which ensured proper breathing. On the other side there were less people in the room, which was definitely a huge benefit. The observer was polite and respectful, he was also so kind that he sometimes opened the window to get some fresh air in - the street was rather calm so it did not disturb. Good location in the downtown and easy to find building. Well maintained infrastructure and equipment. Overall very satisfied.

There are only 2 centers in Poland. One in Krakow and other one in Warsaw. The test center in Warsaw is conveniently located at Ostrobramska 101A, 04-041 Warszawa. You can reach the location by any of the public transports. You would usually find only 1 staff member who sits at the reception. He is very polite and respectful at all times. He would guide you through the complete process before taking your fingerprints. There are 8 computers located inside a room separated by a wooden compartment. You care monitored at all times through the cams by the guy who sits outside. If you need to come out for any reason, you got to raise your hand sitting at your place. He will see you in the cams and come and rescue you. You need to be rescued in and out only by him after a thorough check. It is pretty quiet inside unless someone inside makes a noise. You can just raise your hand and he will take care of that as well. I would definitely go there if I had to retake. PS I gave 3 times at the same center.

Excellent Test Center. I reached for afternoon test. Testing centers employees were very professional. I was made the read the rules. Temperate was perfect. I was feeling comfortable. I had to keep all my belongings in the lockers. I had to switch off my phone. After showing all the identification details I started with my test. Make sure you do not violate any of the testing center rules otherwise your score may get cancelled. If you are in the NCR region of India, you have take your test here. In my opinion testing center can be one of the factors in your overall score.

I recently took GMAT in Pearson New Delhi center. It is easily reachable using the metro. Also, you can easily find its location on google maps. The staff in the center was very polite and helpful. They debrief you with every detail and make you feel comfortable. They even give you headups about selecting a school at the starting of the exam. They have synchronized wall clock at multiple places to help you track your break times. They have proper washrooms and water facilities. The staff makes sure you are wearing the mask during the whole time. I had a problem with markers during my exam. They were not working properly but the staff replaced them so quickly that my time is not wasted.
Overall I had a very pleasant experience at this center.

Hi guys!

I want to tell you what happened today at the test centre—a bizarre situation.

I took the GMAT in Milan in a test centre that has been authorized by Pearson Vue 4 months ago. I think that the one I took this morning was the first GMAT test they offered in the test centre since of course here in Italy the pandemic situation has been quite bad from the beginning until now.

I arrived at the test for 1 hour in advance, and I was focused and energetic. I got 770 and 720 in the last two simulations, (the 770 was inflated since I knew 3 questions that I saw on YT/GMATClub) and I felt quite confident.

The test was scheduled at 10.00 am, and I got there 9/9.15. The proctors weren't able to obtain the codes to let us begin the exam, and the exam started 1 hour and 30 minutes delayed (11.30), the situation totally bombed me. I completely lost my focus. We were all distraught.

We haven't been provided with the GMAT erasable notepad guys!! I am not joking! They just gave us one plastic sheet (ONLY ONE), and we have been told to raise our hand after finishing it. WE WERE ALL CRAZY FOR THAT!
The proctors didn't have earplugs with them, and they brought us during the quant section interrupting us while working on the exam and time was going. Of course, after 3 problems (I got a geometry one) I finished my only sheet, and so I raised my hand while wasting too many seconds. The proctor came in 2 minutes, and I was not able to write down anything. At that point, I decided that it was really a horrible situation and I would have lost a total of 10 minutes just continuously asking a new sheet every 5 minutes. We have been provided with rubber, but the desk was not fixed, and so everything was unstable while rubbing the only paper I had.
It goes without saying that there weren't soundproof divisors between us.

At that point, I was sure I was aiming for a 600 at a max of course. I decided to quit and get a 200 to make everything more dramatic with the GMAC. Soon other guys quit.

I am so angry with the test centre, and I've already called the London office which will call me back tomorrow. Same with the US headquarters.

Not only I want a refund but also like to ask for having another exam as soon as possible in another test centre. While we were waiting for the exam to begin, I talked with a guy who has already taken GMAT in another test centre in Milan and told me that everything was fine as it should be.

I haven't read anything like that so far here on the forum, and I would like to know what you think about that.


IF YOU ARE ITALIAN, DON'T TAKE THE EXAM AT "FIRST CONSULTING" in "Valtorti 48"!

At least not now that it was clear they didn't have any experience at all.
