Hey Lisa,

I committed the cardinal sin of the GMAT... not completing all of the questions! I had one math question left with several minutes remaining and decided to check, re-check, and then when I went to answer I was informed that time had expired.

I ended up scoring a 720, but my quant was only a 46. Do you know how much this may have hurt my quant score and would you recommend citing this error in the "additional information" section of my apps?

I graduated with a 3.9 in Fiance and work as a Financial Analyst now, but didn't want the GMAT quant score to give a poor impression of my math skills.

Thanks for your help...

This does not warrant an explanation in the additional information section. I think you are fine. Your efforts would be better served focusing on getting in strong applications--your GMAT is only part of it; it is the strength of your overall application that gets you a positive decision.

Good luck,
Lisa
