Running of out Time

by LBJ » Tue Dec 18, 2007 12:30 pm
[b]Hi, Does anyone know how much the GMAT deducts when you run out of time. I just took the GMAT and ran out of time on the last question of the math section. I was pretty upset when I saw the timed-out message. Just curious what I would have scored if I just clicked any ole answer. Thanks![/b]

A question left blank results in an automatic 3 percentile point deduction on the official test. In other words, a SEVERE penalty. Don't do it - just pick anything! (Ideally, pace yourself better so you have a chance to at least try every question, including the last one.)
