Hey all,
I just wanted to reconfirm regarding how does GMAT calculates RC score within the verbal section? As we are all aware that RC questions are not adaptive. The passages are adaptive, but not the questions within the passages. And it has been recommended by many of you guys on this forum that the average time per passage should not be more than 6-8 mins depending on the passage length.
My question is: When evaluating the RC passage, the timing per question is taken into account or the overall time spent per passage? So for example, If one spends 3 mins on a difficult question but manages to finish all the rest of the questions under 7 mins, Would it hurt his/her score?
Thanks!
Harvey

Hi Harvey,
The amount of time that you spend on any question (or group of questions) is irrelevant to the scoring algorithm.
You've asked about RC specifically, but how are you performing in the Verbal section overall (including SCs and CRs)?
1) What is your score goal?
2) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
3) When are you planning to take the GMAT?

Hi Harvey,
The amount of time you spend on a question does not define your score. The questions that you get right define your score. If you blindly guess a question in 5 seconds and get it correct or you solve the question in 5 minutes, the points assigned to the question will remain the same.
