The test centre was really conveniently located, and it's easy to find it on Google Maps too. There is space to park one's car as well, so thats a bonus.
The centre is a little tiny, and it may feel a little claustrophobic if all 6 computers are occupied. I was scared when 5 apart from me were taking GMAT, as we all started together so the 8 mins break would mean sharing one toilet but it has two toilets.
The lockers are one above the other and felt a little inconvenient. However, staff at centre is very nice and friendly, and they will assist you through everything.
The place needs a little bit of refurbishment i think, to make it a little bigger (even if no. of PCs remains the same).
Arrive 30-45 mins in advance to avoid waiting for too long if the centre is full.

The centre is located on the everbusy Nelson Manikam road, so if you are planning to commute by car/taxi, i suggest you plan for some congestion in advance.

The test centre is on the 4th floor of the building on the rear, so you might have to ask the security for the directions. The staff there are polite and courteous and help you with all your queries.

The exam might start a earlier then your scheduled appointment time if there are free systems available as was in my case,

the environment is quiet except for the loud key strokes from your fellow test takers. you have to bear with it.

The ambiance,facilities and environment were conductive to have an overall good Test taking experience

Test centre is easily accesible and well connected to road .The ambience is very peaceful, comfortable and well maintained. The staff is super friendly and polite. The process of gmat test is really made hassle free by the staff. Sitting arrangement is nice and comfortable. Seperate washrooms are available for male and female candidates and were clean. Seperate locker was provided to each candidate to keep the valuables safely. I could hardly feel any noise from outside sources while doing my test. Overall a good experience. I will highly recommend this centre to others. I felt like as if I was giving paper in my home,with all ease and comfort.

the place is very good
reach on time only
if u reach the center early they wont allow u so u'll have to wait outside
the whole place is carpetted
there is a single toilet
ppl are very corporative
the computer screen was very nice, large (around 21'') and the mouse and keyboard was up to the mark
u'll get sufficient desk space to slove ur ques in the notebook
the locker space is quite big; i took 3 medium waterbotttles my OG, my bag, my rough register, tiffin, etc and after all this there was still some space

there were headphones in case u r hearing noise of anything

in my case i was late by 2.5 minutes in my first break; i.e after IR

if u r going by metro its about 10-15 min by auto

parking space is abundant but u'll need approx 10 min for that if u r taking ur car

there is no canteen in the test center

u can bring ur own food and eat there only

the test center can accommodate approx 10 people in the test area

my test was in afternoon so it was very quite and empty

Location of the center is good, its in the city not in any remote area. it was quite small place but arrangements were fair. coordinators were cooperative asked you properly about the required stuff and provide locker to put all the stuff. I was not satisfied with locker being at reception where you have to gather you stuff in front of everyone. Rest room condition was quite bad that you cant even find toilet paper in there they must improve rest room condition. The only problem i face is that there is only one center in the whole city so no other choice.

I just paid for a practice exam from Pearson Vue. The exam timed out and would not let me complete the exam. This is a practice exam! In the fine print it tells you if you close your browser it is good for 30 days. It is a scam. now I need to pay for what I already paid for again! Talked with customer service and they said it was my fault for not clicking a separate link and reading the FAQ's about a practice exam. What! obviously the directions are not clear. Would I guess I need to read all of the FAQ's for a "practice test".

Center Name : Pearson Vue - GATS, Symphony C, Ashok Nagar, Range Hill Rd., Pune.
City & Country : Pune, India
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. This is a imp info, guys, unless you are the last guy starting the test you are bound to suffer keyboard music during your IR, Quants or Verbal section. Pearson claims to have noise proof separation, but in practice, folks are sitting in 2 rows with no separation from the guy behind you. So, how does the noise-proof thing matters. The center was clean.
Rating 5/5 : 1.5/5
Additional Info : Pls pay attention. There are quite a few points:
1. 2 marker pens provided to each student. Both were kind of weird, one stopped writing right away and the second one exhausted in IR. At that point I felt helpless, cos I was still not so accustomed to the small room and fanatic keyboard sounds by others. Decided to finish the section cos only 5 mins left. Complained about that, but it seemed it was common there, everybody had it. :? :roll: All in all I changed both the pens 4 times, but not satisfied :x One kind madam suggested, close the cap after use, don't keep it open :shock:
2. The reason behind keyboard cacophony was the worn out keyboards. Have u seen keyboards on sale road-side @ Rs.50 /pc.? Well, u ll find them at GATS, Pune. I found no point complaining, bcos even if they had changed it would have taken precious time and u don't need keyboard after AWA.
3. The laminated sheet was very very old and blackened by re-re-re-use. All were facing it, well it's India, 'complain' is no word in our dictionary.
Now u may guess, why they didn't come to respond, I was asking to replace pens.
Needless to say, I am thinking about Mumbai center for the re-test. Guys, pls write full reviews about everything that cud be a possible threat to anybody. In GATS, one brave girl was arguing with the proctor about facilities on expense of her own AWA time.
I DON'T BLAME my score on them, but the review may help the next guy.
I read all reviews before booking the center, but never found anything so wrong.
BE VOCAL FRIENDS.

Binit.

The test center is very conveniently located in the heart of the city with a lot of commuting options, the directions provided in the test center map are the easiest way to locate the center.

Coming to the staff the women who work there are very polite , professional and understanding, no matter what you request they are always there to help you out some or the other way.

The noise level is very minimum, if you want to have a peaceful exam you can always request for ear buds.

The only improvement required for this center is expanding the restrooms.

Overall , I would definitely retake the test here if I have to. Thumbs Up!!

The center was great. I actually went to the wrong place my first time since it is located on the same street. However, I arrived in enough time. The staff was very courteous. They put me at ease. On my second visit, I had issues with locating a program to submit my test scores and they took care of it for me at no cost.

There is a men's room very close to the entrance. Also since I was there on a busy day I had to wait. Since the break time is so limited I thought I would have to go to another floor. However, the staff told me about the handicap accessible restroom. It was very nice.

The room was comfortable on all three visits.
My only problem was with the chairs. They were only so adjustable and I found them very uncomfortable.
