There’s no certainty to that. If you have final plans to write in September, I would suggest not to reply on the new format.

That question is disused in detail here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/if-two-integ ... 14579.html Hope it helps.

Please post GAMT quant and verbal questions in respective forums.
