Great experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The center is well marked on google maps and easy to spot. The staff was polite and courteous. The computers werent the latest but were good enough for the test. I didnt face any issue with logging in or logging out during the entire test. The inviligator made sure I was seated back before my break time elapsed which was really nice. There were 5 other students giving multiple types of exams and everyone was well instructed about all the rules. I got my score promptly without any issues. The test center was peaceful and didnt have any distractions. If you are looking at this center for an exam then please go right ahead and book it.

Experience at Pearson VUE test centre Mumbai

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

-Location: Located inside a business hub. Exam center location available on google maps is reliable. Ask the security staff at the gate to guide you inside the building campus.
- It was easy to find.
- Staff: Very professional and helpful. Very prompt in assisting with pen or scratch pad. They provide you with two marker.
- Facilities: Restrooms were very clean. Restrooms are located just next to the exam hall. Lockers are a little far aways. Size of the locker was appropriate. Good quality noise cancellation headphones.
- Noise level: Zero. It can't get better.
- I would prefer to retake here only.
Strongly recommended.

Gmat exam at Pearson View Gurgaon center (Ansal University)

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

1. The experience on the test center was somewhat okay.
2. The test center is small. Only one invigilator.
3. The instance that happened with me: I kept waving my hand for some assistance, but the guy sitting was busy on a call . I actually had to stand up and go out to call him. Only advice for the center is to keep an invigilator to be more vigilant.
4. Location is quite convenient. In addition to that, there is a metro station only five minutes away. You will need to take an auto.
5. Restroom facility is good, since the center is located in Ansal University
6. I would prefer the Noida location for my second attempt.
7. No noise from external sources except for the typing on the keyboard by the fellow test takers. For that you surely need to have ear plugs, which the center fortunately provides.

unisoft technologies

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The test center is very very cramped. it literally looks like 1990's cyber cafe. my computer got hanged 2-3 times and i lost around 3 minutes every time.
The person in charge never responds if lift your hand. you have to run outside if you face any problem. the restroom was quite ok. the test centre is easy to locate. There was definitely a lot of traffic noise while writing the exam. When i was writing the exam, there were 4 people who were taking the exam along with me.One person was shaking the table and the whole bench was shaking . I pointed it out to the in charge , he was least bothered to even tell the person.If were to retake, i will retake in another location.

Good.... But plenty of room for improvement

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

This review is for the test center on Dickenson Road (Off MG Road). The test center is easy to locate. Staff are generally helpful. There is just one restroom, which I feel could be maintained better. External noise level isnt an issue, noise cancelling headphones are provided on request. The testing area is neat and well maintained. Do note there is no elevator (kind of like big bang theory), hence be careful on the 3 flights of narrow stairs. There is a water dispenser and the waiting area is pleasant for taking breaks in between sections.Overall a good testing experience.

very good !

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

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.

Lot of distraction from gym above

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I wrote the GMAT exam on 26th December in 2016 at the New Delhi’s Dwarka area. This center is located in a small shopping complex and has a gym on the floor right above. There was loud music being played at the gym which was immensely distracting. The 2 guys sitting as administrators were sympathetic to the distraction but said that they couldn’t do anything about it. There is no separate washroom at the center and the common one at the shopping complex was very bad. I would suggest anyone taking the exam at this center to avoid using the washroom. The place has ample parking but connectivity through public transport is not good.

NCBMS Islamabad

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

My experience is detailed at the thread linked at the end fo this review. Here are the few issues I faced.

1- The first address that shows up on Google maps when you search NCBMS, ICT is their old campus.

2- The test center is a low ceiling claustrophobic rented space not suited for an engaging test like GMAT.

3- Where they sit you to verify your palm prints, there were overheated lead acid UPS batteries and their acid fumes gave me a nasty headache.

4- The mouse pad skin was flaking off. Even the replacement was not up to the mark. Do not choose this center if you have any other option.

5- The Pens did not work initially. Replacements worked for a bit and then stopped working. I found out I had to keep them running constantly or they would dry up even after a few seconds of lying idle.

6- Official Graph Paper was scratched and dust laden which made it hazy and difficult to read.

7- Toilets were outside the premises of the test center outside the locked door. There was no toilet paper and the state of the toilet was appalling. It was in no way fit for human use.

That's absolutely horrific. I am glad I booked my test with USEFP in Islamabad instead of these guys.

Bad luck. Too noisy.

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

I went to the test center last march. It was okay. The lady in charge was very nice. And explain the mechanics very well. The only issue was that I lsot a couple of minutes of my exam because I couldnt enter to the room after the break because she was busy with another girl. And, during the verbal part of the test there were very noisy workers out of the center. I know it was not the Center to blame. but they can make the center less noisy. I was very distracted during the last part of the exam because of the noise. I hope they could solve that up.

Good environment

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

The center was very quiet and apt for the students to give their best in such an environment. All the staff was very helpful in providing things you required. Security and cameras were in placed.

You would have lockers to place your stuff and it is advisable to reach at least 1hour prior to your test time to verify your passport and keep your personal belongings in the lockers.

The center is very clean and there would no language barrier at all, staff there is very accommodating.

Utilise your breaks diligently, you will be allowed to take your stuff from your lockers in the break time.
