This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Prometric has been completely unprofessional. Attempts to get vouchers for several weeks have proved futile. The North American representative does not return calls or emails and constantly promises she will look into it "tomorrow" but never does.

Review Orlando Academy Indore GRE 2014

I have given my GRE on 3 Aug 2014 at the Orlando Academy Indore.

I didn't got appropriate dates at any other city (as i was taking the date a month before the exam) so i have to take my GRE in indore only. And it was my worst experiences of all time for any exam. It was like I was appearing for a local exam. I had taken the GRE exam before in Delhi at a prometric centre in Feb. I had 301 marks thats why I was thinking to give again the exam for a final time. My marks in Princeton Manhattan and Official GRE practice tests were between 305, 306 and 314 respectively. So i was quite sure that i will get atleast 306-308 in main exam. I was surely well prepared, I got to the centre at 8:45 Am and my appointment was for 10:00 Am. I got quite early and as I was getting inside i got a long line of persons getting inside to take exam. And i thought is it really that much persons are appearing for toefl and gre at the same date in a small city indore. So I get to ahead of line and asked the person who is checking the admit cards of all students that whether this is orlando academy or not. And he replied it is orlando academy, and i asked him where to go for the GRE, he asked please get inside and fill out the form. And then I realized that all the persons who are making the line outside are not for GRE they are for SBI and ICICI bank exams of some sort. Inside the other banks exams are conducting in other labs so I was not afraid of the noises of the other persons.

And then I filled out my cursive agreement form and then i was checked and my belongings are secured. And then i was taken into the lab for GRE. It was around 9:30 Am till that.

Then the main problems began. There server was not working and there tech faculty is trying to get the computer again working. I was just at the corner at the starting of the lab. And the tech person just opened the CPU and cleaning the RAM of the computer. And trying whatever he can to start up the computer, blowing burst of air into the wires and ol. Finally around at 10:15 Am they had started the server and the software of the PC is restatrted so that the system can now connect to the server. And the test finally got started at around 10:45 Am (the appointment was of 10:00 Am and i was pretty well taken my diet according to that only that it will get finished around 1:30 PM ) . I hven't got yet depressed or afraid or disturbed till then.

I gave my best attempt for analytical writing section both Issue and argument. And then the Quanta section got started about 15 mins are remaining for the quant section and then a person got into the room and said please turnoff ur computers the sever is getting some problems and we have to restart it. All the students computers were turned off. And about half an hour later the test got started again. Well that's not quite yet finished yet. After my quant section, during mid of verbal, a fan got starting making a very loud noises, and after getting irritated after 2-3 mins it just doesn't stopping making sound i asked the faculty to please look into it.

After the break, during my next quanta section, the bank students are entered into the room and i thought what the hell is going on. Why are these persons are getting into our lab. And the whole group of persons got entered into my row (where i was alone a GRE test taker). And some of faculties person got ringing afterwards. And also some of a old person got into room and loudly saying to all the bank test takers best of luck and do well on the exam. And also the faculties of the academy are getting passed beside me again and again as i was first into the row. And getting instructions to the newly arrived students of bank exams. Both my next Quanta and verbal section got pretty disturbed. And the test finally ended aroung 3:05 PM around 1:30 hr late. And my score was 302. And the test was pretty ###ed up due to my long exaggerating noisy environment.

My previous score was 301, and i was sure that i will get 306 atleast in this(as my score in the practice tests was 306 and 314).

And my 12000 rs got wasted and as well my spirit to take the test again. The centre is the worst of all. And I hope everyone who is reading this review please don't mess up with your test by taking it in indore center.

Prometric hires out from the probation office or the trailer park. The people who were there were very odd in socially extreme ways. The building in Iowa looked like it was put together by a 3rd grader. The signs were in basic type font and in 3 ring binder inserts taped to the wall LOL. The building had no signage on the exterior and was extremely loud as the door weighed 100 pounds and could be heard constantly throughout the test room. The proctor kept pounding on the desk and acting like a pervert when "wanding" me, I think he was the manager or something and the other person just sat in the front while we waited forever to get started. Needless to say I have suggested my company start doing the testing in house as was done in the past.

Hi! The same thing happened to me today at the same center (Guaynabo). I didn't see a space for a second last name in the registration part of the website so I only wrote one last name. I took it before at a different center and didn't have any problems. On top of all, the person in charge, called Terence, was very rude. It´s a shame they don´t understand that in hispanic countries it is normal to have two last names. They should specify how to register two last names (and also middle names) in order to avoid these situations. It happened to three people today and two people who were able to take it today went through the same ordeal before. Also, I think requiring the Toefl can be a form of discrimination. I have lived in the US for 5 years and earned a Master Degree at a recognized institution. Why do I have to take it, anyways?

Its been more than two months, since i contacted Prometrics regarding an issue, today is 28th dec, 2011, after two months, i am totally disappointed, with the most non serious, immature and unprofessional kind of behavior i am getting from Promterics, I am frustrated to my limits, and now i am ready to take Prometrics to US Court. Incident/Ticket No: 7994397. I have sent thousand emails, but those guys dont care enough to even give a reply. The worst kind of service provider, i have ever came across, and would avoid Prometrics at all costs.

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing to higher authority and all IT certification clients,
Indian Government, Media, test centers and IT Companies to please
check and take action on following proxy test centers opened and exams
promoted by Everonn Systems under new model with no security
requirement and no audit guarantee a tax hidden franschisee fee which
reached the top officials such as Amit Geol, And Abhishek Sharma in
Pearson Vue along with middle man Mr. Chawla and Mr.Bala and Mr Surya, Mr Sanjay Srivastava ( ex-vue employee and given vue test centers in year 2000 to all over west india that includes mitesh salariy of infobit, pranav raval of tech world rakesh patel, mihir patel now he is everonn world partner, and many more...)
in Everonn Systems.

Everonn Systems which is a blacklisted company India and which is
invovled in tax fraud has also looted many gullible partners money for
promising to give Prometric and Vue sites. Everonn is a favourite
middle man for money minded individuals and top brass in Prometric and
Vue. In Fact Its even heard that Prometric has started to sell the GRE
centers to Everonn due to cash thrown in Prometric top officials Swiss
accounts. Pearson guys also do not want to let go the oppurtunity
Abhishek Sharma who was hired after corrupt bhasker was thrown out has
been taught well be Amit Goel how to make billions by selling Cisco
Test Centers.

Read Below the press release in Everonn.

P. Kishore; MD of Everonn System arrested by CBI. Any transcations
with the company would be in tax net now!

I have had problems meeting their criteria for reschuling and refunds. They have their own definition of what a day is and how many days needed for rescheduling. After the fact they offer all details but when you pay, inquire or search for anwers about rescheduling all details needed are not posted or stated in one place or all places where refund criteria is mentioned which leaves room for error therefore loss of testing fees. Unfair business practices due to their monopoly. E.D.

I was supposed to take one part of my CPA exam on Jan. 27, 2011. Lo and behold, a snowstorm hits NYC area, dropping more than 15 inches of snow. I called the testing center 4 or 5 times to check whether they were open or not, and of course no one picked up. When I called prometric the next day, they told me the testing site was open and testing sites do not answer calls. So why do they even bother listing their number on the website?

Hi Guys,

When complaining about any institution/test centre, please be very specific. Don't copy/paste all the institutes from Prometric/VUE website.

Based on the list, our team had called these institutions and found that most of the Institutes don't have prometric and got prometric status just few days back. (ex: Cartel Network Solutions Pvt Ltd, CertGurus Bangalore, Corporate Network Solutions Bangalore, Inter Networkz Bangalore, SAFAS Internetworking Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Bangalore, etc). These institutes are very professional and the Test Administrators are non-technical people.

So, It is un-ethical to give negative remark on all the prometric test centres.

Infact, nowadays, all the prometric centres are equipped with IP based CCTV cameras and all the test sessions are video recorded in DVRs and stored for 1 year.

-ADMIN.

All of you do not know the facts... Here are the actual facts… how corruption was started before 15-18 months back.

Bhasker Kedia (3rd Class and very corrupted officer of Pearson VUE) and Mayank (currently servicing in Microsoft, former employee of Everonn) were best friends. Everonn was having affiliation with VUE; so as an employee of Everonn Mayank knows Bhasker and Amit Goyal very well.

Once Bhasker met Mayank and discussed about their hobbies and all. After some meeting; they expressed their salves that both are fantasies about homosexual relation. They were came closure through their homosexual relation. They started big earning from dummy exams and all.

Mean time Everonn knew about Mayank; and lay off him from the job. After Mayank joined Microsoft, now Mayank tries his level best to take Bhasker with him in Microsoft.

One side Bhasker is doing very big scam in VUE; which all of you knows very well from emails and www.consumercomplaints.in website. But the other side Mayank is also doing very big scam in Microsoft.

He is selling Microsoft exam vouchers @ Rs. 1200 to Rs. 1500. He is also having homo sexual relation with Madhav Raju (owner of IIHT); Mayank is always there with Madhav after his job time. He sold thousands of Microsoft vouchers to Madhav Raju. As per information of 11th July 2010; Madhav Raju is selling these vouchers @ Rs. 1700 to Rs. 1950.

Mayank have also given some MS vouchers to “Mitas” @ Rs. 1500.

Mayank have taken 1000$ each from three colleges and not forwarded college data for Microsoft Academic tie-ups. He is also involved in a big scam in license software and all. He is forwarding all the inquiries to specific vendors. In south, he is having setting with Siju Thomas and west region; Roopa Sanghvi.

Bhasker is also forcing their clients to purchase license software through specific vendors and Mayank and Bhasker is making good money in this.

If so called “broker” of Bhaker; is not giving his cut, Bhasker threaten them and force them to purchase license software.

Last week they have earned (Bhasker and Mayank) Rs. 65 lacks in license software. Microsoft officials know everything; but Mayank is milky cow for Microsoft; so they are not hearing complaints against Mayank. It is as same as Bhasker and VUE.

Ultimately; Mayank is earning through Bhasker and Madhav and also fulfill their physical desire from them.

It is also been heard that due to Madhav; one of his old employee got divorce who married just before 4-5 years back. Madhav were placed his old employees into various multinational IT companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Sun Microsystem and IBM; to earn Crore of rupees from these companies.

I don’t know the facts about AIDS; which one of writer has written before few days, but it can be possible.

This is a real “CORPORATE WORLD”, it is beyond your imagination. Up-till now; you have only heard about Bollywood celebrities but it is the real fact in Indian Corporate Business.

A journalist of Times of India knew everything very well; and against not to publish any single word for Madhav and IIHT they got some % of stake in IIHT Limited Company.

All the above are millionaire and nothing will happen against them.

Jun 24, 2010 9:31 am EDT

I booked my daughter on a prometric test drive in London, UK. The whole purpose of the test drive is to familiarize oneself with the test centre and the process and to do a dummy test. The Prometric test site actually says the following:

"You'll be able to familiarize yourself with the look and feel of the computer-based testing environment and minimize pre-test mistakes such as getting lost on the way to the center, failing to arrive with the correct I.D. and paperwork, etc. "

We had the test drive booked for 4.30pm and we travelled an hour to get to the centre. My daughter had her old passport with her, but the centre would not accept it and would NOT let her take the test drive. This completely goes against what the Promteric website states is the whole point of doing the test drive. It is precisely to allow you to figure out mistakes, so that when you go to do the real test you do not make the same mistakes again. I was totally aghast when the person said she could not take the test drive. He would not let me talk to a manager or even let me re-arrange to take the test drive.

I have had previous email communications with Prometric and found them to be terrible at getting back to me and I had to constantly chase and escalate to get a response. I eventually found one person who was helpful, but on the whole very very bad customer service.

My name is Puneet. I was scheduled for exam on saturday april 10th 2010 here in Usa.I did receive an email from the prometric and did confirm its scheduled on saturday at 8am. I work nights.After returning back from work at 2 am.I did dinner till 3 and studied one hour till 4am, then slept only one hour.As I had to leave my home at 5:30 am to be at test center by 8am.So I was restless, tired, When I reached the testing center, to my surprise, It was CLOSED. there was a security guard there, I logged into the visitors log book.and the center was indeed closed.It was very depressing and harassing afterall I had not even slept in night. I called that center phone on my cell and left a message for them and returned home at 9:20 am. I receieved called from lady after 12pm.I was sleeping that time, I called back at 4pm .That test center lady She didn't even apologize.She was rude and just gave me a number to call customer care, which I called just to find out that due to saturday it was closed.I know prometric will have me scheduled for exam again but who is going to pay for costly transport that I had to do to reach testing center, and what about the mental and emotional stress that I had to undergo.I am not sure whether I should sue the prometric for this, but I know a student has posted on review on another test center which has done this twice, and prometric just don't care and are playing with the careers, time money and efforts of students and causing them harassment. Please guide what should I do

Hi Guys,

In fact Pearson vue has now started giving GMAT centers to partners with very dirty past. There will be soon many other centers coming up as they have already given money to bhasker to allot the centers.

Visit the vue website and you will find the list of sites which are closed and open in other name.
test security and high stakes test they claim is just eye wash.

There is proxy happening in new GMAT centers opened up in Rajasthan and Madhyapradesh.

Bhasker is involved in big racket across countries and in india he has been alloting sites only to a group of guys in Karnataka, Gujarat and madhya pradesh and making big money.

Bhasker has been bribed with all things available in the world money, women, liqour and this reaches to the top most officials in VUE channel.

How this companies like Cisco and Oracle trust compaines like VUE which have such a dirty past.read(Puneet Chandra and other top officials in VUE)

So guys post your complaints against this corruption. Share your experience let us expose them.

Lets make companies like GMAT, Cisco, Oracle, Sun atleast take some action.

HYDERABAD: The managing director of a private company and five others were arrested for issuing CISCO certificates by fraudulent means. The private company was issuing the certificates by impersonating the candidates who does not have the requisite knowledge to get the certificate.

The fraud was unearthed following a complaint by an authorised agent of NCS Pearson India Private Limited which has several authorised centres in the city to conduct examinations for the CISCO test. A person who gets the CISCO certificate could get jobs of a network administrator. The Cyber Crime Cell of the Central Crime Station (CCS) received the complaint on April 20 and investigated the matter.

During investigation, the CCS sleuths found that one of the CISCO authorised centres, MIST Private Limited, situated in Ameerpet and Narayanaguda has been indulging in impersonation of candidates who approached them for CCNA certification and collected huge sums of money from them as well.

“The process of exam for genuine candidates is that a candidate having requisite knowledge in networking and administration, appearing for CCNA exam should pay Rs 13, 250 and is given the date and time for writing exam. On the specified day, the candidate should appear before the administrator along with receipt and identification proof. The candidate is given an identification number and his signature is obtained on a digital signature pad and his photograph taken through webcam.

Only then is the candidate allowed to write an exam, ” DCP (detective department) R S Praveen Kumar said in a release on Monday.

The managing director of the MIST private limited, G Hanumanth Reddy, however, conducted examination for unqualified persons who were brought by a mediator, Rajasekhar, by taking extra money to help unqualified students get the CISCO certification. Hanumanth Reddy instructed his faculty and system administrators — V Satyanarayana Reddy, D Kista Reddy, A Sandeep and S Rafiq — to help the students get through the CCNA examination by impersonating them. “The faculty and system administrators helped around 115 students referred by Hanumanth Reddy to get through the CCNA exam by impersonation, ” Praveen Kumar said.

Police arrested Mist Private Limited managing director, Hanumanth Reddy, Satyanarayana Reddy, Kista Reddy, Sandeep, Rafiq and another person, Ch Pradeep Kumar, and remanded them to judicial custody.

Even after numerous complains these center remain open under the nose of CISCO, Oracle, GMAT since people in VUE security are handsomely bribed by Amit goyal and Bhasker Kedia.

The money reaches all the departments in VUE. Infact Bhasker owns fews centers across india and is trying to get greedly partners to add his kiity.

They have really ruined the name on IT cerifications and have become pimps

Sir,

These people should be treated as God's, because they had made careers of several people around the globe. After completion of the exam no candidate will pay their salaries to these people who take the risk of passing. If these people fail the exam the candidates dosen't pay any thing extra. As these exams are online one should not take such cases seriously.

Hey rohit, how much you are you paid to write this, or you seem to be one of the goose kilao partner if you appreaciate him go and suck his ###. He is a f**king pimp and nothing else and you are one of his agents.

hey boys pls keep it professional here, its not just about one guy, its about the team of agents and test centers who are opened by bribing and they go to recovery mode by starting proxy.

This is what is happening in PVPC and GMAT centers in Jaipur, Indore, Pune and in South.

Today you can get a CCNA certification at home just because of this great people.

Bhasker should think of the bigger picture of certification industry and effects of such agents

I am from hyderabad and its all a messed up market here beacuse of such agents.

Similar things happening at Venus test center in Delhi, Empire, Vikram center in Mumbai and Aromatic in Nagpur.

Infact People fron Vue and their dalals in ahmedabad, baroda, hyderbad, delhi have made a cartel with Bhasker and are now selling centers for 2 lacs and GMAT centers for 5 Lacs with 20% royalty on each proxy exam delivered. The money gets deposited in bank account and bhasker has been provided with debit card and this is how be gets the money just got fresh news from dalals in delhi

Be carefull of this pimps they are every where, please write your experience all this is being contiuosly sent to all the majors companys for information along with media. Soon you will find a big scam involving bhasker kedia coming to international media.

Took a part of CPA exam on a hot summer day. I wore a T-shirt and jacket (for cold protection in that extreme cold exam room). Then, I was asked/forced to take off my jeans jacket while others got into the exam room wearing their blazer. What's the definition of jacket and why is it NOT acceptable? No straight answer. Appeared to be judgemental.

Their customer services have NO consistency. A different assistant, a different response. When I was telling them my frustration over the phone, they do not want to hear any complaints from customers. They do NOT care about customers. What a bureaucracy!

I agree! I was scheduled to take my GRE exam today at the Maitland office. I left an hour early and ended up getting lost. I called the office several times and got no answer! When I finally found the place, the lady (I think her name was Carola) said they don't care about people that are calling when they are sitting people. Seriously? I payed $130 for them to have only one person working there!? And even worse, for hiring of employees with horrible attitudes. I hope something is done about the service at this office.
