AWA Couldnt Complete

Question

Hello Everybody,

I had my GMAT exam today. Unfortunately I couldnt complete my AWA, as in I was editing the last part, spoof reading and the time ran out. 
Does this mean, I wont get a score for my AWA? If I dont, do I have to retake the exam?

Experts! Please let me know what I should do.

Regards
Abel Thomas

You will get a score. Unfortunately, you will be scored on what was in the text box when time ran out...

Hi Abel,

The graders will score your AWA based on whatever is on the screen when your time ran out. A couple of minor errors (typos, grammar, etc.) won't swing your score much (if at all), but if there are a notable number of those little errors then you could conceivably lose half a point from your overall score. That having been said, if you stayed on topic and wrote with even a bit of 'depth', then you should have no problem scoring at least a 4.0 (and that's all that most Business Schools expect for 'minimum competency').
