The center, though small and in a marketplace, is in a quiet corner. The invigilator was very helpful, and furthermore, the systems and the tools that were provided too were up to the mark. The people at the center did not provide me with any noise cancellation earbuds as I had heard that I could expect at a test center, but the center was so silent that they weren't even required. The staff was quick, polite accommodating and helpful. So even though I was told by a friend that I should not have picked this center and gone with either of my other two options instead, I am satisfied with my choice.

- Was the test center conveniently located?
THE ADDRESS WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND AS THERE ARE MANY BUILDINGS NAMED WESTGATE IN THE VICINITY. PLEASE CONSIDER 15 MINS EXTRA TO FIND THE RIGHT WESTGATE BUILDING

- Were the staff polite and respectful?
YES STAFF WAS POLITE AND RESPECTFUL.
ALSO COMMUNICATIVE OF DO'S AND DON'TS

- Were there proper facilities and restrooms?
ONLY ONE SMALL RESTROOM AVAILABLE. SO WAITING WILL BE THERE IN BREAKS

- What was the noise level from external sources (street, lights, A/C, etc)?
PERFECT. EAR PLUGS ALSO PROVIDED.

- Why would you retake the test here or in another location?
KNOWN CENTER IS BETTER AND COMFORTABLE THAN AN UNKNOWN ONE.

I appeared for the GMAT exam in the Pearson VUE test center in Kaligha, Kolkata. The test centre is not very easy to locate. It is an extremely small room with nearly five or six systems and I wasn’t happy with the seating arrangement. I was worried after entering the test center that some unforeseen incident might ruin my exam.
But the test centre staff were supportive and explained everything clearly. They even gave me a set of three pens so that I wouldn’t face any problem with that. Because it is not in an isolated place, I didn’t face any noise disturbance. So, my overall experience was okay.

The test centre is nice, staff is supportive and corordinates well. They don't accept any ID aprt from your passport. So carry your passport water and choclate.. That's it.Rest all is taken care by centre. The staff makes the exam process smooth and least stress ful. So its a good choice for exam if u plan to give test in mumbai. Even during break, the will guide you. They won't intimidate you if your time is over. So be cautious about your time. They will guide at every point we are stuck. Even the system and infrastructure is good for an exam.

Though the test center is conveniently located, easy to find in the prime locality in the city where most of the IT professionals and other people can easily access the test center. coming to the test center it is a kind of open place where you dont have much privacy in writing the exam well. now and then you will hear lot of disturbances from outside as it located on the main road, i would recommend not to select this as a preferred test center unless you have no option to left out. the noise level and the disturbances of external sources is very high and it will make you exam miserable while attempting the exam. while you are spending 250 dollars on a exam choose your options wisely.

Warwick Test Center is 5 mins away from I-295 and it was easy to find on test-day.It's located on 1st floor of a corporate building and parking was easy to find.It was my first GMAT test ,but all the staffs were very nice and performed all required procedures with ease -which helped to reduce my test-day anxiety a lot.

Lockers are just outside test-room and restroom is outside Pearson center -co-located in the building.All desks have head-sets and extra ear-plugs were provided as well.Overall,I would highly recommend to take test here if you are from RI or Southern Mass /Northern CT.

Test center is located at MG Road,Bangalore.It is quite easy to find.There were only 2 staffs.At the entrance,a lady verified my passport and handled the procedures smoothly.She was quite polite.There was locker in which I put my bag.She instructed me to have a seat.I calmed myself for few minutes.I moved inside.I had a handkerchief with me that I was told to leave outside by the another staff.He escorted me inside the examination room and provided 2 sketch pens and pad.I proceeded with the exam smoothly though the result was quite rough.I don't know about other centers but this center was a good one in my opinion.

Basically the test center is cozy and the facilities are good and it is located in the center of the city with great transportation facilities but the problem is you cannot read out the passages while you are solving the questions as there will be many people writing different exams with you. So that can be a problem because i have practiced RC by reading it out unfortunately there were nine members writing exam with me so i was unable to concentrate well in the exam.Other than that the staff are polite but they have not allowed me to write the exam comfortably. But sill it is the better exam center in Banglore when compared to remaining centers that are located in and around the city.

Since there is only one test center in the city, it doesn't leave anything in terms of test center options. The location certainly doesn't help either since its in UET, much farther in the corner of the urban area of Lahore. Be wary of the never ending construction going on the GT road and hence the travel time. The test center itself is small with only 5-6 computers available for the test. Fortunately, since GMAT can be taken (almost) all year round, you shouldn't run into any problems in booking your place, even a week before (unlike SAT/TOEFL/IELTS). Until present, I have given GMAT twice in the morning session (in August and December) and in both morning time slots, I was the only candidate; the next test takers arrived for the afternoon session. Test area is comfortable, lockers are available to store food, study materials, electronics etc. and you will be allowed to access it during the breaks. Earplugs are also available on the computer desks (though noise shouldn't be a problem overall). The staff is courteous but the waiting/locker area becomes a gossip hot spot for all the employees making it annoying during your break time. However, the big negative is the location of the toilet; it takes a considerable amount of time to get to the small, dirty bathroom down the hallway. So be advised, if you want to use the toilet during the test break: RUN! The limited 8 minute break will be eaten up in walking back and forth from the toilet.
One last advise I would give is to get a heads up on the location of the building where Pearson VUE test center is located. Its across the parking area but best not to get lost in the vast university area on the test day (from personal experience, asking around for Pearson VUE won't help much).
Best of luck!

I took GMAT at the Dwarka Centre, Noida.
In terms of staff, they were really cooperative staff who actually listen to your problems.
They do not have their own washroom, unlike the Yusuf sari center. In Dwarka I had to go from 4th to 3rd floor, and the toilet was not very clean. Otherwise, they provide you with earplugs and rest all is fine.

There is enough space for parking and is close by to Dwarka sector 9 metro station.

I have heard from my friend that Pearson test center in Yusuf sarai is much better than Edupro in Dwarka

Thanks for reading. All the best.
