GAP exam

when/how to pay?

[HelenDev]

I have registered to take the GAP exam and with the third party site where you take it, but I'm wondering when and where I pay for the exam?

I have found in the help info that you pay by credit card, but is this charged to your adwords account or do you have to have your credit card handy when you start the exam?

I have got as far as a welcome screen which says that once I start the exam I can't stop it, so I don't want to press continue. If however when I'm ready to take the exam I don't have the company credit card handy, will I still be able to take it?

You have to have your credit card handy. You can't take the exam until you have the payment squared away. It's not charged to your AdWords account (I'm not sure but it might not even be Google who gets the payment, but the company who administers the test - can't remember, it's been a while since I took it)

Thanks for the info, I couldn't seem to find it anywhere!

I am now armed with the credit card details so I can sneak off to a quiet spot to do the exam when I'm ready, rather than being interrupted by people and phones.

That sounds exactly like me, when I really need to concentrate! Except I need to add a very large cup of coffee and some sort of snack to the peace and quiet.

I wish you the best of success with the exam HelenDev. Based purely on the attention to detail you have shown in this thread, I predict stellar results. :)
