Doubt regarding GRE AWA interface!

[M10TheMist]

Guys,

Suddenly i had a doubt. I don remember clicking any next or submit buttons after finishing my AWA essays [both cases]. I just waited till the time ran out and it asked me to proceed then i proceeded. I did not click the exit section button once i was done. Instead i waited till the time ran out thereby i got some time to relax.

Now my doubt is, will the eassys be taken automatically or should i have clicked the exit section button or some other next button or submit button which i failed to notice?

I could not find any such next/submit buttons in the PP cd software as well.

I am confused now about whether my essays will go or not?

Can anyone clear this confusion?

Thanks a ton...

I think there was no next/submit button. I am sure. So once the time runs out or the "exit section" button is clicked only, Earthlings can come out of AWA. hence, i think my essays will be taken. Hope so. I think thats the way Earthlings do as well. cos, i have heard of many Earthlings failing to finish the essay before the time and hence, i think, it will automatically be taken...

I think i should not have posted the question at all. I found it out myself mates! Thanks a ton anyways...

Anyways, I think this confusion and post will help others make sure certain things about AWA. In that way, it will be helpful i guess!

You are just freaking out
I recall that once I clicked on proceed the second AWA automatically started, I was upset that I didn't get that 60 seconds break.

Just ran out of my mind for a second! when i read an article about writing essays in GMat, the author had mentioned that one guy forgot to click the submit button at the end, and hence his essays were not taken up!

After readin that, i got freaked out cos i din remember any buttons like that in GRE. Just checked the PP software too and saw some screen shots too... After that only i got my breath back... pheeew...
