Mumbai test center - Review

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

I had given my GMAT on test center Mumbai, Andheri.
Overall experience was good. the staff is very professional.
I did not face the noise around at all. The room are clear and silent. Although the soundproof headphones are also provided but I did not use it, since I don't like using them.

Washrooms are clean. Locker keys are provided to be carries in the exam room .
The center had made proper arrangements for sanitization. Masks are mandatory and you will need to keep mask on all the time.
Somehow I felt the markers was not that good. It was getting dry very soon. I had to replace them twice during the exam.

Overall good experience.

Should be upgraded

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I registered for the test at the Rajagiri social sciences college which houses the Pearson VUE test center. On google the college location is at Kalamassery whereas in the official GMAT mail, it is mentioned to be at Kakkanad. Make sure you call them and confirm on the location which is at Kakkanad. Do not confuse with the one on google maps.

The test center has a small entry room where bags can be kept in a locker. The test center administrator was a helpful chap who escorted me to a waiting room since I reached an hour earlier than the reporting time. The room is an air conditioned room with 8-10 test computers. There is a lack of standardization here since the monitor's are of different sizes. The monitor assigned to me was 16 inches but there were others with 24 inch monitors. The center suffers from frequent power outages which leave the room dark. The only light source is the monitor light source and this happened at least 3 times during my test for intervals lasting as long as 5-10 mins. This is an unacceptable condition for the test takers.

Hi. I wanted to know what happens during the power cut. Is the time lost deducted from your exam, or does the timer stop and resume later. Also, I am planning to arrive one day before the exam, so was wondering if there was any decent accommodation nearby

It sort of depends on the situation but in 90% of the situations, you in the losing time. Sometimes you lose a minute or two and sometimes people have reported losing a lot longer.

My suggestion is to request for the administrator to reschedule you due to the loss of time. It is a hassle to do but if you continue taking the test, it will be a hassle anyway because you are unlikely to get a good score with power interruption and losing time.

Ansal University, Gurugram

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The university's name has been changed to Sushant University. No issues with the centre. The pen and pad provided were fine. Washroom was right next to the centre and was clean. I was also given earplugs by the invigilator. The air conditioner was functioning. The invigilator reached the centre 15 minutes after the exam was supposed to start, but apart from that, no issues. No problems with the mouse and keyboard. No noise issue either, but this might've been because the University was pretty much closed. Locker is available at the centre. I was allowed to take out stuff from my bag during the breaks. I didn't have to call the invigilator for anything so can't say anything about responsiveness. In summary, a good centre to give the test.

Pleasant exam taking experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I reached the test center location quite sometime before the actual test time. They anyhow began the verification process when I was comfortable with, and began with my test 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time. All the staff were very friendly and not to the slightness did they made me feel any pressure. Had a bit a problem with the signature not matching on my passport and the digital signature I gave on test day. The lady staff took care of that and calmly asked to sign again. One advice that i would give is to thoroughly check with the markers they provide. If you feel you want to get it changed, do it. You have paid for it.

GMAT experience

The Pearson Professional Center in Noida is one of the state of art test centres for taking the GMAT exam in Delhi-NCR. It is situated at a very posh locality and can be found very easily for students going to take the GMAT Exam. The exam center is very clean and follows all the proper sanitary and hygienic practices. The staff is very helping and cater to all your basic needs. A scratch pad and marker is provided before the beginning of the exam and you can ask for more scratchpads if you have exhausted your previous one. Also, strict discipline and decorum is maintained during the exam at the center.

PEARSON PROFESSIONAL CENTERS, Prestige Atrium, Shivaji Nagar

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

A very well maintained GMAT Test Centre. There is enough parking space (paid parking) for four-wheelers as well as two-wheelers. The check-in process was very straight forward and simple. There was a locker facility and the lockers have space to fit in a bag pack. The washrooms were clean. If you reach early there is space in front of the building to just wait, read, or walk. The test centre is on the ground floor (to the left as you enter the main building from the front door). The cabins for individuals were good enough. Please check the markers and keep them capped when not in use. They dry pretty quickly.

Ahmedabad Test Centre - GMAT

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

I had given my first GMAT test on 25 November, 2014 at test center named "A1 Professional Assessment Center" located in Ahmedabad , Gujarat . The test center is located in Satellite Area, Near Shyamal Cross Roads.
Location of the test center can be find out quite easily as it is inside a Big Mall . One can reach the test center by any Public or Private transport.

Staff at the test center was quite co-operative and helpful. My slot was 2:00 pm. I had reached before time. Freshen up facilities are nearby. Also, noise levels were very low even in the day time. The only problem I faced was during my AWA section as typing sound from other keyboards were disturbing me. Temperature was well maintained as it was almost starting of winter. Locker facility was available at the center. Sitting capacity was for 6 students at a time. Scratch pads and markers were in good condition. Ear plugs were new. The response of the staff for scratch pads was a bit slow.

Dhaka Test Center reality

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Quiet as expected but Monitor was a bit distant. I think the sitting arrangement can improve a bit. Sitting should be flexible.

I think the sitting arrangement should enable the test taker to adjust the distance of the monitor from the seat in a way that the monitor does not stay so far from the seat.

For lack of flexibility of the sitting, I could not effortlessly watch the monitor and comfortably progress through questions.

Therefore, I think we should make them aware of their lacking and suggest to them a proper course of action in improving the exam hall settings so that test-takers feel comfort and display their best performance in the test day.

Well managed and easily reachable

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

The test center is located in the center of the capital city Ranchi. The test center was just next to BIT Lalpur in Amrawati Complex. I reached the center about half an hour before my test, I was the only test-taker on that day so firstly they gave me a chair to wait outside and the regular formalities of COVID after that the exam. The Centre was nicely cleaned and the staff took all measures to minimize physical contact my test went on smooth.

Btw it's on 3rd floor above ICICI bank on the left side Amrawati Complex.

Best wishes for ur GMAT

Professional & Peaceful Test Center

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

The test center is very convenienty located in Barber lane with ample parking space. When i entered into the center, i was directed to the storage lockers and was given clear instructions of what to do and what not to do.

I went in early and i was informed that there was slots available and i could be accomodated early and it helped me a lot.

Coming to the most important factor - exam experience - The test center was very quiet , systems were good and i was provided Good earpieces , pen and sheets.
This test center had everything a candidate would want in a test center. I highly recommend this test center.
