I know that people can tell from the streak of incorrect answers at the the that the test-taker is running out of time and is rushing, but can someone also tell exactly how much time you spend on them? Someone told me that GMAT also considers the amount of time I spend on each question to caculate the score or something like that.

No. The gmat does NOT consider the amount of time you spend on each question. The mark you get is based on 3 things:
1) the number of questions you answer
2) the number of questions you get right
3) questions difficulty level

THATS IT.

1-3 are right above, but the OG also states other statistical charactersists of each question. I can't say that I'm sure what they mean by that though.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information.

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
