Hi everyone,

I just want to check if any of you experience this. I did test 1-5 GMAT official prep test but the last questions of both Verbal and Quant are never recorded, although I have already submitted.

Just want to make sure this is the system bugs from GMAT prep and not because of my mistakes.

That is an odd one, nguoixanh11. If you are confirming your answer to the last question, the same as you are with all the other questions, then it should be recorded. In fact, it should not even matter if you confirm that answer, since it is the last question. That is, even if you run out of time on the last question, as long as you have clicked on one of the answer choices, that answer should be counted.

I can see how the issue would be frustrating for score prediction purposes. If you must, you might want to start writing down your answer to the last question and checking it later to see whether that question might have made a difference.

Thank you for reporting the issue. This is the first I have heard of it, but it is not altogether surprising. (Some members were reporting that their exam would just skip at some point and not allow them to finish. This bug seems to have been fixed, though.)

Good luck with your studies.

- Andrew

Thank you Andrew. I read through other threads on gmatclub and some folks said that the answer is not counted if you dont click submit. Can you confirm this?

Hi nguoixanh11, Welcome to the forum and I hope that this forum has helped/helps you in reaching a great GMAT score!

Similar to Andrew's thoughts, I would also like to echo the idea the the last question (of a given section) is submitted automatically as long as you've selected an option (of course, it is submitted if you explicitly click "confirm" after selecting an option). I know this from my own experience in one of my GMAT exams, in which I did not "submit" my AWA essay in time, yet I got a grade (of 6) based on my work till that point. Therefore, the same idea should apply to all sectionss -- so long as you select an option, you shouldn't have to worry too much about whether that answer choice has been submitted.

Of course, to be on the absolutely safer side, you might want to increase your average speed by about a second or so per question, thereby leaving you with an additional 35 seconds (in Verbal) and 30 seconds (in Quant) for that final question :-)

Seems like a bug.

Based on the information that was about a year old, which means it could be dated and has not been verified by me since, if you have not submitted the last question on the real test or in gmat prep, it would not count and would be marked as skipped. This only applies to the multiple choice questions. AWA will save your essay even if you did not submit it.

This change had been introduced three or four years ago. Until that time, you could select an answer choice and even if you had not confirmed and submitted it, it would be recorded. For whatever reason, that behavior had been changed on both the official test and the GMAT prep. I do not know why the change took place and as mentioned, it held true until a year ago when I had verified it.

Hi everyone,

nguoixanh11 Guess what, I saw same thing happen with me yesterday when I wrote my 2nd mock. In the quant section, even though I finished 6-7 mins before final whistle. The last question came out to be wrong. And when I checked what option had I chosen for that question, my choice wasn't highlighted, GMAT shows the wrong option chosen. So, I too was baffled by it, but thankfully it didn't affect my score and I got a Q50. Had my Q50 dropped to Q49 just because of that one small issue, I would have been devastated.

Possible reasons that I could think of behind this are-
1. It's a damn system bug.
2. I had chosen the answer choice but did not click on next.
3. I thought I had clicked the correct answer choice but in reality I had not.

Out of the three, the third seems implausible as I had enough time on my clock and there was no hurry.

So, it could most probably be a system bug. Let's hope it's resolved soon.

Regards,
Nikhil
