Hi ksan,

I would save both IR and AWA for the end of your prep. As Marty correctly mentioned, what is tested in IR stems from things you should have learned in your quant and verbal preparation. So, as you get close to the back end of your prep, feel free to reach out once you begin studying for IR and AWA for additional advice.

How much studying time/what portion of my studying should I allocate for these sections, since they are not as important as the Verbal or Quant?

For AWA, this is can be a helpful post: https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-get-6 ... 64327.html

For IR, after you do an Official mock you may get a better idea what to expect/how much studying may be involved.
