Hi everyone,
I sadly will be taking the GMAT a fourth time, as the last 3 attempts didn't go my way. I need 600, but I sadly scored:
1. 530 (Q33, V31)
2. 590 (Q41, V30)
3. 590 (Q36, V35)
So far I have always started with the Quant section first, but I'm wondering if maybe starting with verbal this time would make more sense, as I have studied more for the verbal this time.
I'm afraid that it might take me some time to get into the exam and I will answer the first verbal questions wrong and starting with quant will give more time to adapt.
Do you have any tips for me? Thanks a lot

Hi idf463.
In determining which section to start with, people generally consider which section they are stronger in.
If they are much stronger in one section than in the other, they usually do the stronger one second. That way they are fresh for the section that they find much more challenging.
If they are a little stronger in one section than the other, they often start with the stronger section to get into the test before they do the section they find a little more challenging.
Of course, you may feel that neither of those approaches makes sense for you.
At the same time, regardless of which section you start with, you don't have to worry about getting warmed up during the test, because you can warm up by doing practice questions before you take the test. In fact, doing practice questions before you take the GMAT is a best practice that gets you both warmed up and calmed down, and it can make the GMAT seem to be just a continuation of doing practice questions and thus relieve stress.
So, you can do whichever section makes the most sense first, and do your warming up before you take the test.

For Verbal, considering working on Solving Approach. Basically, work on the way you tackle questions to make your performance over the section more efficient.
For Quant, similar advice can also be useful.
How adding with an algebra mindset can be helpful:
