Winsoft Computer - Mohali

Winsoft Computer might just be the worst GMAT testing centre. I had my test in the mid of September 2017 and my experience was highly disappointing. Below are the series of events that took place during the test -

1. While I was on the 5th question from the last of the first section (Quant), the computers in the lab hanged and so did the exam abruptly in the middle while I was taking my test. After restarting the server and the computers when the test administer logged me back into the test, it had already skipped about 3-4 minutes in the process, affecting all the remaining questions in the section. This was the first big calling that I may not be getting the desired score for which I have worked really hard in the last couple of months, and was never expecting this to happen in the first place.

2. After the break- before starting the section 2, which was Verbal, the system of the candidate sitting behind me started to have some issues due to which the administrator and other staff members assembled to resolve the issue, creating a lot of disturbances in the lab. This disturbance kept increasing with their constant discussions, speaking on phone regarding the issue and noises due to repeated entering/leaving the lab, and didn't stop for the whole 75 minutes of my Verbal section. This hugely impacted my attention towards the test. It was so disturbing that I had to go through the questions multiple times just trying to understand in the noise. I had to skip many questions as well due to the loss of time. This was the second calling that things weren’t going as desired, and out of all things there is a bare minimum expectation of how the test-taking environment be which should be standard across the globe.

To everybody taking the test from Chandigarh area, please AVOID this centre!
