Hello experts,
My second attempt of GMAT is scheduled for 3rd August. I need one urgent help regarding selection of section order.
I have given 6 practice tests till now and as verbal is my weaker section, in all the six practice test I started with verbal. But due to anxiety I always had to pause my exam few minutes after starting as I was not able to concentrate properly.
Can you please suggest with which section I should start -quant or verbal?
The positive in starting with verbal is I can handle my weaker section with a fresh mind but the side effect is anxiety might pull down my speed and eventually my score. There won't be much impact on Quant score even if i keep it in second slot.
If I start with quant the good part is anxiety will not have a huge impact on my overall performance. Even if I start slow I know I can cover up in quant in the remaining part of the section. But the problem is I will be starting verbal after almost 1.5 hrs and I am slightly unsure whether my brain will be drained out by that time.
As I am rigorously preparing for GMAT for past 3 weeks I think I can still manage verbal with a slightly tired brain but I am slightly skeptical about the role of anxiety in my Verbal performance.
Please help.

Hi Yash.. So am i writing it day after tomorrow.
Weaker section if attempted first gives better results.Go with Verbal. Attempting quant later will leave a chance for your brain to still perform well,yet with a lill exhaustion.
All these can only happen with anxiety under control.Eagerness and anxiety will kill entire test,no matter any order you choose first.Get your anxiety under control writing a test at home under simulated test condition.
All the very best.
