Hi

Well a 690 is really quite good but guess what? If you guess the last few then chances are you lost some points just because of that. Check out gmat.economist.com/blog and look for the articles (under test taking strategies I believe) for how the GMAT is scored (there us a 3 part series plus another entitled GMAT as a first impression or first date.) and how they may punish for guessing. It would be much wiser to sacrifice (so to speak) a small number of quesitons in the middle section rather than leave a bunch at the end to be guessed at. SO congrats on the 690- very very good but it is amazing what a good timing strategy can also do for a score :)

All the best to you.
