Hi friends! I had tried the GMAT today and scored well enough (for my own standard) on Verbal and Quantitative parts, but it seemed that the last sentence of the last paragraph of my Analysis of An Argument essay is incomplete because I was running out of time. Is there any significant penalty on this? If, for instance, my essay is good enough in general, will this mistake significantly decrease my AWA score?
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Interesting question, Chris.

IMHO, I don't think your score will be drastically affected by a few missing words in your final sentence. Your score is largely based on the strength of your ideas, the general organization and flow of your essay, and your mastery of the English language.

That said, we'll never really know how much your score was affected.

Cheers,
Brent
