Firstly, I would like to thank both Eric and GMAC for this is new great initiative. It would not only help folks better understand the test but also clear lots of myths and doubts.
I have two questions to ask:
1) Does the test factors the time spent answering a question in the score ? For instance, someone spent quite a long time (say 4-5 min) answering an easy question or someone made a guess and marked the answer in say 5-10 sec. Is the algorithm designed to identify and factor that into the score or it just tracks whether the question is answered correctly ?
2) Are all the three sections in verbal equally weighed or a particular section has more importance than the other ?
Many thanks.
