Hi, I just took my exam today and had a concern about how the GMAT captures my answer response.
I was answering my last verbal question. I selected the answer, then I clicked the right bottom button ("Submit" or "Confirm" I can't remember). Then, the "Confirmed Response" window popped up. As I clicked "Yes" on the window, the time ran down to 0:00.
Then, the next screen popped up.

In this case, I wonder if the GMAT would capture my last response to the question or it would treat my last question as "unanswered" and penalize me for not finishing the exam on time.

P.S. I realized that Manhattan GMAT CAT exam would treat my selected-but-not-confirmed answer as "unanswered".

Thank you for your time in advance!

I read from other posts that the penalty of leaving one unanswered question is 3 points. I wonder if that means 3 percentile drop (from 72%ile to 69%ile) or 3 raw score drop (from V37 to V34)?

My final verbal raw score was 34 (69%). It is really close to my last exam verbal raw score (33). However, I felt that my last 10 questions on verbal was definitely harder than my last verbal exam. That's why I have a strong feeling that my last question was not captured and my verbal raw score was severely penalized.

Please help!

Andy, I'm sorry, but I really don't know whether the GMAT would have counted your answer. My guess is that it's only officially submitted once you press "confirm", and since you were not able to do that in time it may not have counted.

You may want to ask Stacey on the General board: general-gmat-strategy-questions-f9.html
