Hey everyone, how long does it usually take for the official GMAT score report to reach ISB? Would it be safe to take the test around Dec 3rd or 4th ?
Would really appreciate it if anyone who took their test near the deadline in R1 could share how it went!

*Not able to schedule GMAT exam and GMAC and Pearson both are not able to help me out*

Hey Guys

I am stuck in an helpless situation and I need all the help I could get.
I am not able to schedule GMAT exam and GMAC and Pearson both are not able to help me out.

To give you background, I had my GMAT at a test center on 17th and they didn't let me write the exam because of my name mismatch in the application form and passport.
A ticket was raised to address this issue by the test center, and the GMAC informed that the amount will be forfeited and they matched my name in the mba.com profile. They informed me that now I need to schedule another exam.
So yesterday 18th, I tried to schedule an exam, the amount got deducted but I did not get any confirmation letter. Nothing got reflected in my mba.com account. I contacted the customer care they told there is some issue from their end and I was informed to wait until the refund happens. The refund happened in a couple of hours.
Today 19th, I contacted the customer care and asked them to schedule the gmat on my behalf and accepted to pay 10 dollar service fee as well. And even they could not schedule an exam. Same thing happened i.e. money got deducted from my end, but they did not receive it, and i didn't get any confirmation letter.
I enquired is this because of their rule of not able to book 2 gmat in 16 days period but they denied and stated that - "If a candidate's exam is flagged as No Show or was denied to write the exam, then they need not wait for 16 days to schedule another exam".

Now I'm confused and lost.
I am not able to schedule an exam.
GMAT CUSTOMER SERVICE is not able to schedule an exam.
I am not able to comprehend as to how is it becoming so difficult to schedule a GMAT exam.

Anybody who has faced any similar issue and any resolution steps that may help me, kindly let me know.
Should I try creating another mba.com account?

Thanks in advance!!

Don't create another mba account for sure. Contact them and ask them for help.

Creating another account can raise suspicion even if there is nothing... so i would advice to just ask them for help...

They don't seem to have an answer at all
I'm very surprised
Global exam conducting body, and I'm not able to schedule an exam, even they are not able to help me out 🤦🏻‍♂️

if your name on passport and mba .com account are same and still it was a mismatch at the centre, you should speak to the centre guys and get them to resolve the issue asap

it’s an issue at the centre’s end

So I don't have a surname
My father's name is my surname in my passport and it is full abbreviated
But in my application it was just the initial letter
And because of this they denied the exam stating It's a mismatch
All my other documents and educational documents just has the initial letter
Only in the passport it is abbreviated
The center guy did raise a ticket to resolve this on the spot
But he couldn't
They have now changed the name and aligned it as per the passport
That is not the issue

The issue is they are not able to schedule another attempt in the next 2 3 days
Even I tried from the website
And even the service folks tried from their end
And nobody is basically able to schedule an exam

If you want for quants ttp is tge best but you have to give 4-5 months and for verbal and di egmat is good they have proper schedule and all
In free resources you can use gmat ninja’s video they are also good
