Reached Chennai.
The test is gonna be conducted at Everonn Systems, Prometric near Numgambakkam. You can either take two buses, find your way to the centre, search for a hotel, etc. Or you can pay 300 Rs to an auto rickshaw guy who'd take you there and show you around. 250 to get there. I paid him 50 Rs extra for helping me find a nice hotel to stay, 2 kms away from the test centre.
By the way, you wont find the centre if you ask around for Prometric Systems or Lister Labs or Romar House. It took me sometime to find the place. Ask for the office of "Vijay TV". It's in the same building. There is a Taj Hotel close by that would serve as a landmark.
I found a nice hotel, with moderately good rooms. For 1100, you get tiny rooms with dim lighting, bad toilets, etc. I paid 1500 for an AC room, but surprisingly, the AC room I got was bigger, well lit, clean large bathroom, with TV, cupboard, table, chair, etc. And yes, AC too.
After a nice light tasty breakfast from a nearby vegetarian hotel, I've settled down into my bermudas.
Yesterday, I scored 1370 in the mock test, which is an amazing score considering how little time I spent preparing. Gonna concentrate on vocab and essay today. Maybe a couple of mock tests too. After that, I guess I'd be ready for the big day.
