[b]Hi, Does anyone know how much the GMAT deducts when you run out of time. I just took the GMAT and ran out of time on the last question of the math section. I was pretty upset when I saw the timed-out message. Just curious what I would have scored if I just clicked any ole answer. Thanks![/b]

A question left blank results in an automatic 3 percentile point deduction on the official test. In other words, a SEVERE penalty. Don't do it - just pick anything! (Ideally, pace yourself better so you have a chance to at least try every question, including the last one.)

"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 course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"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."
