I am preparing for GMAT for last 1 year. Quant is my strength but verbal is my weakness. Appeared for GMAT exam in April 2022 and scored only 590 (q50 v21)
I was disheartened with my verbal performance as I got verbal in range 26-32 in 5 sigma-X mock tests. I switched to TTP and focused on verbal for 1 and half month. I have solved almost every OG questions in past 2 months. For quants, I have only solved GMAT club tests. I have got q51 in last 5 gmatclub quant test.
My mock scores in last 1 month is as given in the order -
GMAT prep test 1 - 710 (q51 v 34)
GMAT prep test 2 - 740( q51 v39)
Veritas free mock test - 680 (q50 v34)
Quant was very tough and I was lucky to get q50 even after 10 incorrect .
Manhattan free mock test - 710(q51 v36)
In all these mocks I gave verbal first and then quant. I felt that I am good at quant so I want my mind to be fresh for verbal.
In one of the debriefs, a high scorer had given quant first and then verbal. He had utilised the extra time he was left in quant to write the options for every questions for POE to save his time in verbal. I liked the idea as it will definitely save 3-4 minutes in verbal section if we write the options and timing strategy prior to the verbal section. I am able to complete quant 5 minutes prior to the time limit but always find myself short of time in verbal as I have to rush for last 2-3 question.
I need advice from the experts regarding my section order for my GMAT exam which I have scheduled for tomorrow.

Any advice? Whether one can write on scratch pad prior to the start of the exam? I guess it’s not allowed.

Hi Abhishekgmat87,No, it's (technically) not allowed. Some proctors don't mind, so you may want to check with them before going ahead with this during your exam. It's still a risk though, as this could come up in a post-exam security audit.
All the best!
