I just got an email from GMAC that my center of choice San Jose has construction noise hence I have a choice to change my location without any additional charge. My test is scheduled for 16th June so any feedback on the Oakland and SF centers will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

I've taken GMATs at both, actually... (and San Jose, too!)...

I liked the Oakland one better. The guy who works there (or, at least worked there last summer) was really nice. The facilities were clean and quiet, and there's easy BART access (the SF test center is quite a long walk from BART).

Not that the SF one is bad, but given the choice I'd go Oakland.
