Hi Rebecca and Experts,

My test is on 14th March.

Say, you click on the bubble and select an answer choice on your last question of the section but you run out of time before you can hit 'next' and 'confirm'.

1)Would you get the credit for the answer if you had selected the right answer choice?

2)Would you be penalized for not completing the section as you failed to click 'Next' and 'Confirm'?

3)In Verbal, does your score depend on how well you fared on each sections( CR/SC/RC ) independently?

Regards,
Sachin

Hey Experts

In GMAT Prep software, I found in time management analysis that I ran out of time when I failed to click "next" and "confirm" though I'd answered the last question.
Please enlighten us!

Thanks!

In the GMAT exam, you will receive credit for answering the final question, even if you did not click "next."

Good luck!

Hello, Sach. Your verbal score is calculated based on how you will you perform on all questions in the verbal section. If you are weak in one area, it will affect your total Verbal score. Good luck!
