Will you get a better score if you finish the test quicker?

by jrward2 Wed Apr 20, 2011 5:11 pm

I've heard from a GMAT teacher that if you got the same exact questions correct as someone else, but you finished before the other person that your score would be better. Does anyone know if this is true?

That in fact you should attempt to not use all of the allocated time, to achieve a higher score.

Thank you!

Nope - the algorithm does not take that into account at all.

Myth!
