Location Bangalore, India
The test center experience was quite good. It is conveniently located near the Cubbon Park Metro station and hence, is easy to find. The employees are all professional. Do take into consideration that not only does the center conducts GMAT but also other exams. There are appropriate Covid protocols taken as well with everyone wearing masks and ensuring social distancing.
The staff was polite and professional. There were locker facilities to store personal belongings. There was minimal noise level from the street. However, do make a note that there is no parking facility near the center (Or I couldn’t find). Overall a good experience.

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.

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.

The overall experience was great.
I reached my test center early by 45 mins. They completed all the official work including the palm scanning and locker in just 10 mins.
I was given ample time to sit down and calm myself. Once I was ready I could proceed for my test as per my convenience. Since I was early and was ready, I was allowed to start my exam 10 mins early.
I was allowed to carry a light jacket in the room and kept all my belongings outside. The room was pretty quiet and testing conditions were also good.
I did not face any glitches or issues my computer setup. I was provided with a clean scratchpad and pens.

This GMAT test center is easy to locate as it's just opposite to the passport office. It is quite peaceful and organized. Staff present at the premises are supportive and provides proper instructions at all times after you enter the premise until you leave. The Center has proper facilities and the restrooms are fine. During the exam, you just have to raise hands for changing the erasable writing pad once completely filled, they will be there to change instantly. You won't have to wait for it.
People writing the exam in Bangalore, I would highly recommend this center to you.

- Test Center Location: Pearson Professional Centers-Bangalore 2 KAR, Prestige Atrium, Unit 101, Ground Floor
Central Street, Shivajinagar, Bangalore
Karnataka 560001, India
- Nearest points: Cubbon Park Metro(~700 mts), Shivajinagar Bus stand(~400 mts), 10 Mins walk to the center.
- Parking Available (A bit high price, i guess around INR 30 per hour)
- Background Noise: little bit from outside esp. when heavy honking/traffic is there. You can use Noise Cancellation headphones which are available at each desk and quite effective.
- Restroom/Lockers/Drinking Water: Available within the center.
- Computers : Very good condition, Monitors screens are of large size, i struggled initially a bit due to it. Most of the time i had practiced on 11 inch screen.
- Staff: Polite and Helpful.
My score was not up to the mark, so i canceled my score. I would recommend this center to everyone with one thing in mind about small outside noise(I prefer very quiet environment and can be disturbed even with very little noise level) which may not be same for others. Good thing is that 3M Noise cancellation headphones are available at every desk and you can totally be in your own world while giving exam. I would recommend this and will retake at same center if my fate gives another chance.

I took the real GMAT on 21st Aug 2019 at Pearson VUE center in Bengaluru
Exact Address :
No 45, 3rd Floor, Trade Center, Dickenson Road Above Bhima Jewellers, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560042.
The registration process was smooth but the test experience after that was horrible. There was a person taking the GMAT sitting beside me who started the test at the same time but was coughing so loudly throughout the test and was continously murmuring the questions he was trying to solve.
I could somehow manage the Quant section but comprehending long sentences in Verbal was near to impossible due to his constant coughing and murmuring of questions. I even informed the invigilators sitting outside the test room during the 8 minute break about this issue. But there was no effect. I tried wearing the noise-cancelling headphones given but they were very uncomfortable.
I ultimately spoilt my GMAT and scored a disappointing 660 ( Q51 , V27 ).
My official GMAT mock scores were :
1) Mock 1 - 690 ( Q50 , V32 )
2) Mock 2 - 700 ( Q50 , V32 )
3) Mock 3 ( Took after spending 2 weeks on SC ) - 750 ( Q51 , V39 )
4) Mock 4 ( 4 days after Mock 3 ) - 740 ( Q50 , V39 )
5) Mock 5 ( 2 days after Mock 4 ) - 740 ( Q50 , V39 )
I raised a issue after the test and also raised an enquiry through mba.com portal but I have not got any reply from GMAC yet. This is very disappointing that GMAT test centres dont maintain a calm environment for test takers.

The test center is very attractive and highly protective. People have eyes over your actions every second. The facility is good and helpful. If anything you need, just raise your hand and the staff will be there to help you with everything. I went there twice as I gave 2 attempts, and the procedure they follow in the test center is easy and efficient. People may get nervous that what would happen at the center, will the machine work properly or not. But they have everything in perfect order. A test taker gets perfect silence over there, and can concentrate 100% over the test. No distractions of any kind is present. Clean facility with availability of washrooms and drinking water. And yes its cold inside.

The test center is fairly peaceful and has 4 testing stations. It is located on the first floor and the location is not so obvious. I walked up the stair till 4th floor and then only realized that it was on the 1st floor itself. It is not explicitly visible when you reach the first floor. The staff was good and the systems were working fine. Only glitch I felt was during the essay in the last 30 minutes when the systems kind of restarted, which they say is a standard process during slot change(so prepare to reach before the scheduled time so as to be able to start test much before the hard stop when the restart the systems in between and you may lose 1-2 minutes. Apart from this, there was no other issue I faced at this center. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my score and that is why you won't see any verified score for my profile. I will be retaking the test in a month's time.

The test centre at Banglore was quite good with proper lighting, air conditioning, muffled sounds and a good computer system. It was a good experience giving GMAT at this centre.
The centre is located at a place which is easily reachable from any corner of the city and has a good environment. I felt optimistic when I reached the centre. Also, the chairs and table are ergonomic which makes the test-giving experience an awesome one. You will get a feeling that you can solve any question within time.
I will highly recommend this test centre for anyone. Just time your test well in advance as the booking is quite difficult to get sometimes.
