GMAT Prep Verbal... did not finish last question?

I got a 39V with 31 out of 41 questions correct. However, I left the last question blank, which I probably would have gotten wrong.

I heard each blank question hurts you by 3 percentile? How much does one wrong question at the end affect you? A 39V is the 88th percentile. If I guessed and was wrong, would I have gotten a 40V?

If anyone has color, please let me know.

I don't know what the actual penalty for leaving a question blank is, but a three percentile differential for not answering a question, especially towards the end of the test, sounds like a lot.
