Can someone tell me if GMAT exam follows a sequence of the sub- sections within the main section of verbal/quant. I know that we can choose the sequence between the main sections such as VERBAL, QUANT, AWA & IR.

But say if I select, VERBAL as my main section to start with, would then all questions of the SC appear one by one (in tandem), then CR one by one, then RC or will there be a mix of one question as CR, second question as SC, and third as RC passage.

There will not be an exact sequence. So you will see, SC, RC, and CR questions all in a random order arrangement.

Hi Vighnesh,

The questions that appear in the Quant, Verbal and IR sections will appear in a random order - meaning that you will have to be prepared to 'shift gears' from question-to-question and use different skills and knowledge at a moments notice. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to handle all of those shifts (and score at a high level).

Based on your question, have you taken any practice CATs/mocks yet? If not, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test sometime soon (perhaps this weekend). You can access 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that Score, you should report back here (or you can feel free to PM me directly) and we can discuss the results and how you might adjust your studies.

Hi Vighnesh,

There is no specific sequence as such. The questions come up randomly from each section.
