Took GMAT today - 710, AWA time was up - WHAT will happen

[Ansul]

Guys,

I took the GMAT and scored 710 - (50 Q, 36V)
Firstly thanks to all moderators and bloggers for their posts. It really helped. Q specially. Strongly recommend OG question types for Maths and other aspects properties of numbers (LCM,divisibility). Verbal I lossed out because of time.But level is similar to OG.

For AWA sections, my time was up. I did not click on Yes and Continue. Will my response be considered. Or will they not accept it at all. Please let me know. I am very tensed and do not want to take GMAT again!!!!!

I believe that's not an issue. I had the same problem on both essays when I took GMAT on 3rd. I ranout of time before clicking submit and next. I recieved a 5.0 in AWA. Not sure if my score would have been any better if I had submitted and clicked 'next' intime. But based on my experience you will be scored...

That will not be an issue at all.
Don't worry and congrats con your great score!

Furthermore, some books say that AWA is not that important on the app process.
