Center * Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center
Location Online
Parking facility : Sufficient
Invigilator Reviews : I'm at a loss of words. She was amazing (beautiful and her voice was very special); she completely threw me off.
Environment : Calm, isolated, silent, but too cold unless the AC is turned off.
Rating 5/5 : 4/5 (minus 1 for the extra cold)

Center * Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center
Location Newark, DE USA
Parking facility : available
Invigilator Reviews : Polite, ok efficient
Environment : I found it very good. Not much noise.
Additional Info : toilet is about a minute away so look at it before the exam. I asked for the additional notebook and lady was very slow. I have to attempt 4-6 math questions with virtually no space left to write on. They do not have good time keeping mechanism for breaks. (I am not sure how it happens in another centers)
Do's & Don't s : Look at the center a week before. It is little hidden inside the big building.

Do's & Don't s :The test center is good, and meets/exceeds expectations in most regards. Just remember try not to drive there yourself, if its not in the morning, it might be a headache to find parking.

Pearson Vue -- Moscow, Russia (Akademia Narodnogo Hozyaistva)
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]
Center * Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center
Location Moscow, Russia
Parking facility : - ( did not pay attention, as I arrived by metro)
Invigilator Reviews : polite.
Environment : 4 narrow seats, very small obscure room, without windows, old computers.
Additional Info : Far from the centre of the city, 10 minutes by walk from metro station Yugo-Zapadnaya. You need to arrive +10 minutes before, except for those 30, in order to register and receive acces into the campus.
Do's & Don't s :Take what ever you need with you (a bottle of water, some food, etc). It would not be possible to exit the campus. :oops:
January 16, 2012
Center * Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center
Location London, United Kingdom
Parking facility : None AKA in central London? Bwahahahaha!
Invigilator Reviews : Polite, efficient - did not offer to test pen ;)
Environment : Quiet, desk approx 1.5m square with high dividers. No ear plugs provided but headphones are present (I guess for tests that need them)
Additional Info : Test scratch pad was not like the one shown here. It was in fact laminated white A4 sheets with a heavy black grid sectioned into rectangles about 10mm x 7mm. I forgot to count how many pages were provided but there were at least 10 sides which was more than adequate.
Debrief Link : http://gmatclub.com/forum/740-q49-v42-awa-98204.html
Do's & Don't s : Don't change your routine based on what worked for other people.

Pearson Vue -- New York, NY USA (Pearson Professional Centers, 100 William St.)
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]
Center * Pearson VUE GMAT Test Center
Location New York (Manhattan), NY USA
Parking facility : Private garages nearby, but expensive. Easily accessible by public transportation
Invigilator Reviews : Helpful and professional.
Environment : Relatively quiet.
Rating 5/5 : 5
Additional Info : Make sure to carefully read the ID requirements; while US citizens should only need a driver's license, others may need a passport or more.
Debrief Link : http://gmatclub.com/forum/770-q48-v51-thanks-gmatclub-83370.html
Do's & Don't s : Don't show up "on time". Show up 30 mins early just in case. However, if you're running late - don't panic. They don't start your timer for the test until you actually sit down at the computer.

Do's & Don't s : keep track of time in breaks (8min only)
they provide drinking water
Some people had told me to avoid this center, but i went as did not want to reschedule. At that time i looked for reviews, but found none. Am happy to be able to reply someone. Trust me, it is a great place. I reached at 8:15 for a 9am appointment, so started my test at 8:30 and chose my seat - avoiding direct A/C cooling and taking a corner seat (no body crossed from behind).
Scored 750

hey I have heard issues like its very noisy because of the students speakng loudly in the corridor, did you face these kind of issues. Did they provide any kind of ear plugs at the centre, if yes did using them resolve the noise issue.

Hi,
Does the Nettur centre provide noise cancelling headphones? Because I have seen that I tend to read out loud during the verbal section.

Parking facility : Test center conveniently located and was easy to find and if you are lost ask for "Jetking" center and everyone around that knows it.
There is more than enough space for the parking at this center.
Invigilator Reviews : Invigilator was polite and even gave me 2 pens to me though I haven't asked for it. You can even change the pens and your rough sheets at the time of break.
Environment : There are only 4 systems to work on so there is not much noise. It was quite. Yes, room was quite cold so asked to switch off the AC before entering the room.
Why would you retake the test here or in another location?
Yes, I took the test here twice!!
