Re: Score dinged because i did not finish a section. [#permalink]
Dear kgmat,

There is no 1 minute prompt but timer blinks. It is advisable to keep track of the time and be cautious in the last 3 minutes.
This seems to have happened to one of my friends who recently gave GMAT and he missed a whopping 4 questions.

Rgds,
Santora

I gave my GMAT a few days back, I was aiming 650-680:
Quant: I got 47.
Verbal: I did well but my final score got dinged because I did not finish the section!
There were 7 seconds left when I looked at the clock and I had 4 Qs to mark, I was able to mark only 2.
I don't remember seeing the 1 minute remaining prompt in the exam, it's likely I'm unable to recollect now as I was rushing on the last RC.

1. Does anyone know if the actual exam has the 1 minute prompt?

Hi kgmat12,

I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. While not answering those last 2 questions would have likely cost you some points, there are likely additional issues that hurt your Score (such as having to rush through a bunch of questions at the end of the section - and likely getting those questions wrong). Assuming that you're interested in retaking the GMAT, before I can offer you any advice for this next phase of your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How did you score on the Official GMAT (including your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far?
4) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
5) Is your overall goal score 650 or something else?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

You might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
