The center is an ideal place to give the exam. It is away from any traffic. Very spacious and private setting to give the exam. No disturbance from any near by candidate movement. The center is equipped with water dispenser, locker and seating area. The probide you with ear plugs, ear muffs, 2 markers and a laminated booklet. Hand sanitizer and tissue papaer also available. The staff is prompt and courteous. The washroom is just a few steps away(neat and clean). There is a canteen near washroom(you can visit before and after exam but not during the exam). I scored 85 percentile+ on the exam here.

The GmatClub is by far the best platform, which helps students from various parts of the world, to achieve there target and get into dream universities. i've been a part of this Club since one year and i'm very overwhelmed with the type of questions and the timely response we get from the team regarding any query. I've experienced many of the top platforms that helps for the preperation of GMAT but by far Gmat club is the only platform according to me which works for providing the best resources instead of doing work with the mindset of earning profits. I've kind of wasted much of my income in other classes which didn't give any returns as such. I hope GmatClub would become an only reliable source for Gmat in the future so that students like me gets the best source at first.

i travelled to a different city to appear for exam but denied entry because passport was mandatory although it was not mentioned clearly to me at the time of booking exam.

also gmat team didnt refund me the fees for reappearing which is quite shocking as they are a test taking organization and not only profit focus business unit.


even after lots of request they were not even allowing a refund which is really bad from their side considering 250$ is a huge amount from students of india

the location was good

the staff was not at all supportive and denied access

Excellent facilities
Conveniently located with parking available. You can find it easily on google maps. So it's quite easy to find it. Near a metro station too.
Staff is polite and respectful.
Restroom is clean and well spaced. Restroom facilities are good too.
No noise can be heard from the street.
Fans, lights, AC etc. all work well
Would take retest from here if I get the chance
No seating available for outsiders
You can't wait in the center.
Once you are inside you can't go back out without giving the exam
Chairs are comfortable
Keyboard and mouse quality are just ok but doable

Test Centre was easily located and was accessible via multiple routes. Staff was very polite and helpful. Staff did not get irritated even if you ask something again and again. Facilities were proper like wahsroom and all. There was no noise from the outside. Though there was a space for placing your belongings and all. I took a metro to reach there and deborded from metro. Then I walked up to the Centre. I was 1 hr ahead of my schedule. Even i visited the centre 1 week before my test date and staff guided me well regarding the test procedures. It was such a pleasant experience

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.

- Parking Available (A bit high price, i guess around INR 30 per hour)
- Background Noise: little bit from outside esp. when heavy honking/traffic is there. You can use Noise Cancellation headphones which are available at each desk and quite effective.
- Restroom/Lockers/Drinking Water: Available within the center.
- Computers : Very good condition, Monitors screens are of large size, i struggled initially a bit due to it. Most of the time i had practiced on 11 inch screen.

- Was the test center conveniently located?
Yes, it is a bit outside of Hamburg, which is a Plus because there is less traffic. There is also a huge parking garage close to the test center (since the test center has no parking spots)

- Was it easy to find?
Yes, the name of the test center is written on the wall outside.

- Were the staff polite and respectful?
Very polite and respectful, but the instructions were sometimes not so clear. For example: when I went for the bathroom after the 1st section, the proctor told me that he/she already set everything up and that I should just log in. When I did this, the next section started immediatly (which shortened my break from 8 to 3 minutes).

Also, they DON'T bring you new pencils if necessary. You need to get up, leave the room and ask for new pencils (which costs time).

- Were there proper facilities and restrooms?
Everything fine. Very small test center (only 4 seats). No technical issues.

- What was the noise level from external sources (street, lights, A/C, etc)?
The actual test room is next to a larger street with a construction site and due to COVID, the windows had to remain open during the test. But ear plugs helped to reduce the noice, so not a big deal.

- Would you retake the test here?
Yes, but I would adress my expectations at the beginning and ask some things more clearly (to avoid misunderstanding)

I had two options to choose from during registration for my first GMAT test. I took the old Pune center. Unlike many other reviews, the center was easy to locate and easy to approach. The other center is located in an IT park, with unnecessary check-in and security protocol (might be useful for the business offices). The center was equipped with limited PCs and it is the best you can have.
The center is just a step from the main road. It becomes very handy during test pressure.
The center is located on less busy road, so during the normal weekdays on mornings one can never feel distractions due to traffic noise.

This is the review for the Pearson Test Center, located near the Barakhamba road in New Delhi. I gave my test in the Oct 2020 in the middle of the pandemic and opted for the in-center test over the online test because I didn't have much faith in the internet connection at my home.

Before arriving at the center, I was a little worried about the safety measures but all those fears were put to rest by the adequate safety measures at the center. I must say the I felt very comfortable giving the exam, even though I didn't get my desired score. I would highly recommend the center to anyone living in the proximity of New Delhi.
