Hello Friends -

Here is my review of the pearson vue hyderabad test center. I took the gmat at this center.

- The test center is very conveniently located on the top floor of the Nike showroom
- I was able to reach the test center without any hassle
- The staff is extremely professional and really helpful. They can really calm you down and help reduce your nervousness
- The facilities were in perfect order and even during the breaks, there was no chaos anywhere.
- Well, you can always have noise coming from any quarters. The key is to not get distracted by it. Although, i did not encounter much of a noise that could distract me.
- I will highly prefer to retake the test at this center just because i am not now more familiar with the place. However, people reading this review must do their own analysis before choosing one.

I went to the Manipal center for my test and there was no waiting area. So we had to sit on the stairs to wait. We were allowed 5 mins before the test and the formalities were completed . passport is mandatory. I would also suggest getting some water and banana to reenergize yourself in between breaks. I was disappointed by the markers and writing pad. Some didnt work and the center was too cold also . So get a jacket with you. The ear plugs work fine but leads to pain in the ear after consistent usage. Maybe select a time where test takers wont come a lot and you have peace.

The test center location is good. But it was very small and we can hear the outside traffic sounds. It's not much but sometimes it can break your focus. The center was also not very clean. AC was working fine and I would recommend to bring in a jacket with you in case you feel cold. Washroom was also very small but it was ok. The staff was polite and helping. Due to the location i would still prefer this center if you giving the test in bangalore. Be sure to keep some things to eat and drink with you.

The test center is well located and is easily accessible.
There is minimal noise inside the test center, except for the regular typing noises that are produced by other test takers - thus requires real focus from your end.
The instructors were professional in their approach
The center is well organized and the process to verify and enter the test room is well established.

However, some of the rules are extremely stringent for unnecessary reasons - for example, I had a slight cold on the day and requested to increase the temperature of the room. So much so that when I requested them to carry a tissue for my runny nose, they declined - this is something I did not argue about then, but these are basic things that needs to be worked upon.

I booked my GMAT exam for Mumbai's Andheri test centre after reading good reviews for it on different websites. Now, as I have experienced it, I can surely say the reviews are true. There is no disturbance at the centre (as it should be) and the staff is very polite and friendly.
When you reach there, the security guard asks you to switch off your mobile phone before you enter and once you get in you are given a locker, which is big enough to keep all your belongings. You are allowed to keep the key so that you can access the locker during your breaks (Just for the water bottle and food)

All you need to carry is your passport and you are done. Do carry a jacket with you, in case, you aren't accustomed to air conditioning because it is slightly cold inside. The restrooms are also very clean and you can access them during the breaks.
The only problem which I faced was to park my car as the parking space is restricted for working professionals of different offices in the vicinity. So, it would be better if you take a cab to reach the centre.
I strongly recommend this centre, if you can travel to Mumbai for your GMAT examination.

I took gmat in 2016. Although the score was not what i was hoping for so i cancelled. But the center was amazing. I faced no problem there. I would highly recommend the noida center.


Location - Far from the traffic areas. So it was quiet as needed.

Ease to find - No difficulty in finding

Staff- Helpful and polite

Restrooms - they were outside the center but that did not cause any type of problem

Noise - none

Retake - i was not satisfied with my score. i am going to retake next month. i would do that in the same center.

I took the exam in the Mg road center on 30th october 2018.I have nothing but positive. The center is located in a good location in Gurugram. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The center was well lit and organized.The exam space was divided into cubicles. each cubicle was well separated from the other.They provided a noise canceling headphones before the start of the test.The washroom was on the smae floor just outside the test center and they also had a water filter nearby.The toilets were very clean .The center is used for other exams aswell apart from gmat.I did not find any disturbace while taking the test .The system was also working well which is not the case at all the centers.

Staff were nice and I had no problems with their computers or internet connection. The location is not so bad for users that need to use public transportation but there is no subway stations nearby, which would be more practical given the loudly traffic on the area. Take extremely care if your appointment time is close to lunchtime for you will probably face an unexpected heavy traffic. The parking garage on the building where Pearson VUE is located offers a nice discount for MAPFRE’s insurance clients (on February 2019, please confirm if this offer is still valid before you plan to go).

Very professional center, the staff was very helpful and the washrooms were clean and hygienic . I would recommend everyone to consider this center if ypu are living in Canada and this center happens to be near to your place. Kindly be careful with the markers they provide because these markers dry up very quickly if the cap is left open. The scratch pad provided by the center was long enough and when i requested for either a marker or a new scratchpad ,i got it within a minute. The keyboard was of excellent quality and my typing speed was brought out best using that keyboard.

I took the Gmat for the 1st time in Aptil 2016, in the person vue center located at Rabat,
The test center is located in Agdal which is in the very center f the city, very easy to be reached, where we have at least 4 means of public transports to come to it .
The test room is in the ground floor, so you can be really shelter from any external noise. The room comprises almost 12 positions , which means that 12 candidate can take the test simultaneaously .
Ii took the gmat again on 2017 in the same center , but Did not get the score that would have allowed me to apply to my selection of Schools,

I would recommand that test center, and I would take the Gmat in mid 2019 in that test again, I really hope that this time , the test center comply with me ( =D ) and ace my gmat score
