Thank you so much for this video. Just wanted a clarification: What if I bookmark a particular question and am unable to review or edit it at the end of the section. Will that particular bookmarked question be submitted/considered for evaluation or not?

[@Wizako]

Your initial answer will considered submitted and will be scored accordingly

Will geometry be included in Data Insights?

[@Wizako]

Unlikely. DI includes Data Sufficiency. But they are not likely to introduce geometry only in the DS format and leave it out in Problem Solving format

Will there be any negative marking in gmat focus ?

[@Wizako]

Not quite but there is a penalty. Let me try and explain in a very simplified manner.
In the GMAT, there is no "1/3rd negative for each mistake" or some such standard rule. However, the test is of the computer-adaptive format. What is the format?
The computer is evaluating your performance and is accordingly deciding on the questions to show you as part of the test. Some of the questions are worth fewer marks and some are worth more - if you consistently answer correctly, then you are given the opportunity to score more by getting higher value questions. So negative marking is in the form of opportunity cost - losing the opportunity to score more.
