Hello, Samuele1995. There is no way you could be penalized for such a poor performance on IR especially. You marked your answers, so you completed the section. Some people put effort into their selections and still walk away with, say, a 3. The AWA score may make you look a little lazy to an admissions committee, even if that score is not required by the school. And of course, you are limiting your options with 0. That said, you paid your money to take the exam, you finished it, and you did not cheat and turn in a magical 1-minute IR8 or AWA 6.0, so there is no reason to doubt that your score will be finalized.

If you do gain admission to your target school, you will congratulate yourself for not having invested time and effort in these two silly side sections. Good luck.

- Andrew

But... Do you think that my score may be cancelled anyway?
Hi Samuele1995,

No. You "skipped" those sections, but you didn't actually skip them.

The fact that you received an official GMAT score means that what you did is not a test security issue.

You needn't worry about score cancellation. I just hope the university is fine with the 0 in AWA.

HI Samuele1995,

I also don't see any reason why your score would be canceled. That said, I assume you are still waiting for your official score to come back?
