AWA Question

by g.shiqian Sat Apr 09, 2011 7:48 pm

Hi, I just took the exam and was curious if you need to click "Next" on the exam for it to count? For the argument essay, I was using extra time to write down some formulas and set up my issue essay, but I ran out of time and clicked "Next" but did not click "Yes" on the confirmation box. Will this submit a blank essay to GMAT? Thanks!

Also if it submits a blank, how detrimental will this be (ie, should I note it on any optional essay for admissions?)

Thanks!

They will accept whatever you had typed in there when the time runs out, so you're fine. :)

Stacey, do you know if it's ok even if I didn't hit submit before it timed out?
