There are 3 options available for the exam's section order
There is no “correct” or “recommended” section order to follow. The choice simply gives each candidate more control and flexibility to take the GMAT exam based on your strengths and testing preferences.
Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) Section
The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) measures the ability to think critically and to communicate individual ideas. During the AWA, a candidate is expected to analyze the reasoning behind a given argument and write a critique of that argument.
Integrated Reasoning Section
The Integrated Reasoning section is designed to measure your ability to evaluate information presented in multiple formats from multiple sources – skills one needs to succeed in our technologically advanced, data-driven world.
Quantitative Section
The Quantitative section measures the ability to analyze data and draw conclusions using reasoning skills. The need is to keep the basics right here as the mathematics needed to understand and solve the questions in this section of the GMAT exam is no greater than what is generally taught in secondary school classes.
Verbal Section
The GMAT exam showcases all the skills in the basket– not just math. The Verbal section measures ability to read and understand written material, to evaluate arguments, and to correct written material to conform to standard written English.
