GMAT scoring, can't figure out the strategy

Question

If supposing I do not have time at the end in the verbal section, is to better to guess the answers for the remaining 5-6 questions or is it better to leave 4-5 questions unanswered?

HARRY113 · Answer

Never leave the questions unanswered..

So you say that I guess the answers even when I am unsure of the answer?

HARRY113 · Answer

Yes. 
If you have no time left over. Just give a logical guess and never leave questions unanswered.

Hi anujagarwal11,

It is WORSE for your score to leave questions unanswered than to guess, so you have to make sure to answer EVERY question in each section.

1) Do you currently have some type of pacing issue? Are you having trouble finishing any of the sections on time?
2) How long have you been studying?
3) How have you been scoring on your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
4) What is your goal score?

Leaving questions unanswered is roughly twice as bad as getting them wrong! However, by the time you take the actual GMAT, you should have practiced your timing strategy so thoroughly that this is not an issue. Timing issues can really destroy your score, so to master the GMAT it's important that you learn to let difficult problems go in order to stay on track.
