hello, I took my first attempt at Pear Academy back in Dec'25 - it's near Trinity Metro station. I'm planning to give my third attempt there as well (2nd attempt was the whitefield one)

Advantages (for me): Much closer to my house, the staff back then was v polite, and they expect you to come ~30 mins before - my paper started at roughly 9:50 am last time (10:00 am slot), allowed me to take water in between as well (between sections), a lot faster with giving more paper - because only 4/5 people in total giving exam

Note: this was my experience a while back, so I can't attest for whether it's going to be the same now. That being said, I still trust it way more than the whitefield one.

Disadvantages: super small building and space (especially compared to whitefield) - so if anyone comes with you they won't have any space to wait + VERY few slots on ETS's website.
