Nope. No points for finishing a section before time. It might help you get an extended break in between sections during the exam.

Cheers...

While no one officially knows the exact algorithm for GMAT scoring based GMAC themselves, we can reasonably conclude that finishing the exam super early does not have a significant impact on your score. This is based on the experience of our students as well as other empirical findings in the industry.

However, if you don't finish in time, there is a penalty.

So focus on optimizing your accuracy within the time window -- rather than racing to the finish line.
