Tuscaloosa, AL GMAT Testing Center

I took the GMAT at the testing center in Tuscaloosa, AL and it was a flawless experience.

Before the test:
I arrive and am politely greeted by staff then escorted to my locker. After stashing my belongings, we walk into the ready room. I am given a rundown of the exam and break policies then a palm vein scan. This all takes about 20 minutes, so now I'm sitting at the computer 10 minutes early and I can just take a couple deep breaths.

The test itself:
I used the earplugs provided but easily could have done without. The environment was so quiet and professionally run. No complaints in the area that matters most. They are running a fan for white noise though, so if that really bugs you just be aware. However, it is a calming and constant "wooosh" rather than a rickety oscillating fan. Easily tuned out. I brought a sweatshirt into exam in case I was cold. Didn't need it, but it was nice to have the option. Each break I was able to notify the proctor and use restroom/get snacks. Upon return, the whole "check my pockets and palm vein" process took about 90 seconds. When I finished I was given my unofficial report and walked out.

In conclusion:
I would recommend this center and will definitely be taking more tests here. Albeit hopefully not the GMAT again.
