Agile Tech, Kali Ghat

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Agile Tech, Kali Ghat, Kolkata India. Agile Technologies and Solutions is located in Ishwar Ganguly Street and is near by the Kali Ghat Metro Station.
It's located in a prime area and the Google Maps location is perfect.
The Center is small but sufficient for the purpose. The person concerned is very effective in his approach. They have lockers, bathrooms, water dispensers, etc.

My test got stuck, had to change the PC twice. This actually affected my mind subconsciously. Results were bad.
Small things affect the performance in such tests as GMAT, GRE, etc.

Nonetheless, technical issues happen everywhere but the frequency isn't worrisome.

Pearson VUE Prestige

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

This center was very clean and well maintained. It was located in the center of the city and can be easily reached via public transport, Although I advise people to leave an hour in advance because Bangalore traffic can be gruesome. Everyone at the center, including the security guard was very kind and cooperative. There were proper restroom facilities available as well. There is so much silence in the room that the only thing that could be heard were mouse clicks and if that bothered me I used the Noise cancellation headphones which were a blessing. Covid times = no AC but the room was still well maintained and no reason to sweat. I would def retake here but also Trust in Pearson Vue standards so will take in any other Pearson center!! hope this review was helpful, feel free to reach out to me in case of any clarification.

Test center review

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I was scared of taking the test at a physical location at first due to covid. But this test center has maintained the really good hygienic standards such as temperature checks, limited staff, hand sanitisers at every corners etc.They are very strict in physical checks as well. They have done throughly checked my pockets, glasses and masks(a bit overkill if you as me).

The test center was also very peaceful. The desk, notes, pens are sanitised in front of me as well. The noise cancellation headphones provided were great. I could comfortably finish my exam. Over all, This center and its staff adhered to very best standards.

Hassle free and convenient

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

I have never seen a test centre so well organised and with such a friendly administration. It really pumps you for the exam and makes the whole experience a little less daunting (exam nervousness is real). The entire process of verification and seat allotment was so organised and hassle free that all you need to focus was on the test, and not anything. This really helps in such a mental exam, like the gmat where being calm and composed is the trick. The centre is well located and can be easily located via google maps. The cab took me right to the center without having to worry about getting lost in Noida roads.

Pearson Vue Gurugram , Time Tower - Awesome GMAT Test Center

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

For my first attempt, I selected this centre 1.5 hrs away from my place after going through multiple reviews and the reviews stand true to their words. This centre is just awesome and provides a completely stress-free environment where you can just concentrate on performing your best on exam day.

I chose a 10 AM slot and reached the place at about 9:15 AM. They started registering people at 9:30 AM. All instructions are provided in a crystal clear manner, the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Tips :
1. Listen carefully to instructions and ask all your queries during the first registration. They would patiently answer your queries.
2. The lockers are great. Have your food and water placed outside your backpack inside the locker, as you would not be allowed to open your backpack during the breaks.
3. During breaks- take a note of the timing when you go out (they have a big clock hanging on the front of the exam room). Assign yourself 5 mins only.
4. Do take a bathroom break during each break. It not only helps you calm down but also helps in preventing end-exam pressure bladder situations.
5. Drink just enough water to quench your thirst. Don't over-drink.
6. Have something light to eat during breaks.
7. If possible, go in half sleeves, as if you are in full sleeves, you will have to roll it up to show your arms.
8. Check your pens before going in.
9. Take a new test booklet after each break. They would happily replace your booklets.
10. Don't have anything written on your palms. I had one candidate, during my slot, who had a smudge of pen ink - they asked him to clean it up before allowing him inside the exam centre.

Best of Luck!

Do they supply any means of noise cancellation? Like a headset or earplugs?

Small tucked-in center, can't complain

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The Mumbai test center is small but well located in a software IT park in one of the lower floors. Has a narrow door opening, but the guards below know it and can direct
The staff is polite (Actually they don't interact much which is good) and carries out all guidelines as necessary. I appeared during July 2020, and COVID-19 guidelines were all followed. They didn't ask for a RT-PCR report at that time.
The restroom and other facilities were well maintained and noise level minimum. However I did have a noisy chair, but with the noise cancelling headphones it didn't really make a difference

GMAT Bangkok Test Center (BB building)

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

There are 6 available stations. the monitor screens are quite large making it harder to read from one side to another. The instructor is clear with the instruction. The board given was a bit old therefore you can see some black marks on them. The toilet is within the close facilities. Overall okay would recommend it. There's only one test center in Bangkok so no other choice. Pros: in the city (near subway), nearby food vendor around, friendly test proctors, free refill water fountain Cons: small room (people with claustrophobia can have a difficult time), no free parking, extra-large monitor screens

VERY HELPFUL STAFF

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

In case you call them, they are very helpful on the line. The location of the test center is convenient and easily accessible by a variety of public transportation. There are four available seats inside a room. The room is silent. I have not taken the exam yet, but I have visited the center and staff. Covid-19 impacts the testing conditions both positively and negatively. They let only two people at a time, yet a test taker should wear a mask during the exam. After I take the exam, I will add more details. Good luck to all of you with your studies.

Great Test Centre and Courteous & Profession Staff

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

The Exam-Centre is well maintained and clean , all COVID protocols Followed and Safe distance maintained between each Candidate.
Parking facility : Underground Parking facility is there.
Washroom - The Washroom is just opposite to the centre, since it is in a commercial Building it is a shared washroom. However it is well maintained and you wont face any issue as such.

Invigilator Reviews : Professional and Helpful. (They also keep track of your break time, provided you inform them before hand)

Environment : Comfortable. Noise Cancelling Ear plugs provided, the Screens are pretty large and placed at a height.
If someone is used to laptop then they might take some time to get used to it.

Locker Facility is adequate and you can keep your eatables in there along with your jacket, please note that you are not allowed to wear jacket inside the examination hall.

Review of Tashkent GMAT test center

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The test center is located in the Chilanzar district of Tashkent, not too far from metro Mirzo Ulugbek. The invigilator usually comes 10-15 minutes earlier than the appointment time, so do not panic if you do not see him 30-20 minutes before the exam. He is very kind and helpful. The exam room is very small and has 3 computers. Monitors are small and old may be lower resolution than your usual monitor. The room is cooled with air conditioner if the room gets too hot or cold please do not be shy and ask for help the invigilator would be more than happy to help.
