I got some doubts about my knowledge on the test format.

Therefore I have two questions to clarify:
1) Do AA and AI in AWA appear randomly or there is a stated sequence?
2) The same question is for Math and Verbal sections

Quant always comes before Verbal
As far as I know and from what I've experiences at the test center twice, the argument essay comes first, and the issue essay comes second.

I am not sure what the order of the awa is, but the order is always the same. If your English is up to par, don't even sweat the awa section.

Quant ALWAYS before verbal

Quant will always begin with a few problem solving, then go into DS usually around question #6 or 7

Verbal will always begin with sentence correction, then a couple CR and then RC.

AA or AI order is totally random. Don't sweat it. If you do well in CR you will ace the AA. AI can be a bit harder, but practice templates and you'll be OK.
