Important Q. on AWA

by thatwasthat » Sun Jun 08, 2008 5:26 pm
Hi,
I have already given my GMAT. The AWA went well, unfortunately on the Argument Section while I was proof reading my completed passage, i did not see the clock which had a few secs left. So by the time I hit Confirm on the dialog box the time ran out. So does anyone have any idea if the essay will b evaluated or not??

It would suck to retake the gmat just for this.

Thanks!

dont worry if you've typed your essay fully. It will be evaluated. :) Sleep well.

the final time-out is equivalent to hitting the 'confirm' button, so whatever you typed before the final bell has been transmitted.

note that this fact also applies to the verbal and quant sections: if you have indicated an answer (i.e., filled in the little circle for one of the answer choices) for the final question, but time runs out before you can click 'confirm', then you will still receive credit for having answered that particular question.

manage your time so that you don't have to worry about this in the first place!
