PAYMENT FAILURE IN BOOKING GMAT EXAM IN MBA.COM

Question

Can anyone suggest how to make payment to book an appointment for Gmat.
I tried with Indian credit card(master card) and also with international debit card multiple times but it end up in payment failure.

The payment gateway remains down at times. You can try after sometime.

Alternatively, will also recommend that you check with the issuing bank if the transaction is not intentionally blocked for any reason.

See whether another card may work. Perhaps use a family member's.

Hi AnujL,

Did you try giving the folks at GMAC a call to see if they could help you out?

EMPOWERgmatRichC · Answer

Hi AnujL,

I'm glad to hear that you were able to schedule your Official GMAT. With approximately 3 months of additional study, you could potentially improve a great deal. We last discussed your studies about 2 months ago (and you reported that you scored 590 on a 3rd-party CAT) - so if you are still looking to improve on your current Scores, then it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying over the last coupe of months:

1) Over the last 2 months, how many hours did you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used over the course of ALL of your studies? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) Is your overall goal score still 700+?

Hi Rich.
NO. I did not take any MOCK after that 590. Currently I am studying 2-3 hrs a day. I am targeting Q49 so I am focusing mostly on moderate level difficulty questions(55% to 65%). I think Q49 is very much achievable with 19-20 correct out of 31.
But anyway I will try for a Q50. Half of topics is covered already. 
For Verbal,now I keep doing questions at every second or third day so I wont lose track of it.V35 to V38 is my target range.
I will be appearing for the original GMAT exam on April 8th.

ScottTargetTestPrep · Answer

Are you still having issues?

AjiteshArun · Answer

Hi sivajith,

This is most likely your bank blocking the transaction on the basis of its own risk management rules. Have you tried using another card?

bb · Answer

I agree. Likely the bank blocking a large transaction. I would call the bank to try to confirm that they are authorizing the transaction. Likely the issue is there.

hey I am facing the same issue and got blocked once for multiple payment failure, recovered my account, but issue remains the same.
 "we are unable to process your payment. please select or choose an alternate payment type".

please somebody help me I've got deadline to submit my application pleasee, anyone. I am actually getting nervous. its been happening since 2 days.

yes I've checked with my back account no issues there, i had used my Brother's card, father's card not happening same issues and we had a chat with their banks as well. still not happening. talked with a Pearson Group but not solving.
what should i do??? anyone please help me out guys. its very necessary for me to schedule the exam on time before submitting the documents.

bb · Answer

Hi. This is pretty weird but I would do the old school thing - book your exam over the phone. There is a slight charge for this but it is not major like 15 or 25 bucks, so you can call them and go through the booking process on the phone.

I would go there. They may be able to tell you what the issue with the card. However, in 99% of the cases, it has something to do with the card.

Tried & tested: I was facing the same issue. The problem was most Indian credit cards are blocked for International payments which are in USD (Not converted in INR). To resolve this you have to contact with the respective bank customer care over the call and they will then unblock that transaction, after waiting for 30 min you can then proceed for the payment again.

Mine was the same problem, which is now resolved.
