Some important points about the GMAT exam

• GMAT is a Computer Adaptive Test. This means that the testing software adapts to your performance as you progress through the test. Therefore, your performance on each question will determine the difficulty level of the next few questions in the exam. Consequently, the GMAT score is calculated on your ability level i.e. on the basis of the difficulty level of questions that you solve correctly and not just the number of questions that you get right.
• Only Verbal and Quant sections are computer-adaptive. IR and AWA are not adaptive in nature
• GMAT does not allow you to go back to questions you’ve already answered. It only shows one question at a time and does not allow you to see the next question until you’ve answered the current one.

GMAT Exam structure

Prior to July 11, 2017, all test-takers had to take the test in that exact order as defined by GMAC. However, this is no longer the case.

You can choose the order in which you want to take the sections, just before your exam begins.

• Original Order – Analytical Writing Assessment, Integrated Reasoning, <Break 1>, Quantitative, <Break 2>, Verbal
• Verbal, <Break 1>, Quantitative, <Break 2>, Integrated Reasoning, Analytical Writing Assessment
• Quantitative, <Break 1>, Verbal, <Break 2>, Integrated Reasoning, Analytical Writing Assessment

Note:- Break between the sections is optional and duration of one break is 8 minutes.

As per GMAC, “There is no “correct” or “recommended” section order to select. This choice simply gives you more control and flexibility.”
