Hi guys,
I am just curious to know if is assessed the way how time is managed during the exam.
E.g. Let's say that I got the first 20 questions right, spending 50 mins on them and the last 17 wrong, spending just 25 on them. If another guy get the same result of mine but Dedicating for each question the same amount of time, is this different way to manage time assessed by gmat?
I mean, will we get the same score or my score will be lower?
Thanks a lot

The official answer is that timing is not tracked.
However, there are conspiracy theories about it.... esp when it gets to validating a "guess" vs. a legitimate answer.

Hi pepo,
On Test Day, there's one correct answer and four incorrect answers to each Quant question and each Verbal question. The computer does not factor in how you get the correct (or incorrect) answer or how much time it takes you to do so. There IS a penalty for any question that you don't physically answer though.
In the situation that you describe, the scores would be exactly the same.
Since you're asking about all of this, I have to assume that you have some type of 'concern' about your current practice scores.
How have you been scoring on your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
When are you planning to take the GMAT?
What is your goal score?
