Relation of time vs score [#permalink] New post   13 Nov 2021, 05:15
I recently took a GMAT Practice test.

In quant section, I got 27 correct and 4 incorrect with 17 mins remaining in the timer and a score of 41.

My Question are:
1. does time remaining affect my overall score?
2. If I take longer to solve an easy question, eg - on average it takes someone to solve the same question 30 secs, but it took me 2 mins, will it affect my score?

As far as I know, There is no such relation wrt time. However, not attempting all questions in the individual sections will have some impact on the score. Spending too much time on a single question negatively affects performance.

The answer is NO for both questions.
The time taken for a question does not affect the score, neither does the time used/remaining in the section.

If you scored 41 with only four mistakes, these four must have been relatively easy questions.
Was that the case?
