Can some one pls tell me wats the case..
Would be wonderful if some instructors can throw some light on the same
For detailed official information,you can look up the GMAC site or the OG .
There it is clearly written that
GMAT does penalize u for leaving questions on the test,so i guess that could have hampered ur scores.
In case of dilemma it is better to make a calculated guess rather than wasting unnecessary time on a question.
On the GMAT there are several test questions also which do not contribute to ur score.
So, it may also be the case that the questions u were pondering upon did not actually help increase ur score.
Just look up the site and u will be more confident about what I wrote above.
As a piece of advice ,in case you are stuck at a question it's better to
apply the elimination techniques and rule out as many options as possible.This will increase ur probability of getting the question right.Alternatively,u can also try
plugging no.sIt takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button
