Do you have to hit save???

I took the mcat today, and realized after I was doing the second essay on it that on the one before that, I didn't hit the "save" button. Does that mean that I no essay actually went through for that one and I'll get a terrible writing score? Or does it automatically save it when you hit next? If so, why is there even a save button at all???

It automatically saves when time is over. The tutorial clearly says that the essay is saved automatically when time finishes. On my MCAT I did not save any of the essays and still ended up with a Q. They want you to save your essay after every 5 minutes so that it doesn't get lost when there is a power breakdown or something like that.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I never actually did anything but click right through the tutorial. 🙂
