Good news everyone! As of July 11, 2017 you can select the order in which your GMAT sections appear! That means you don't have to finish the GMAT on your weakest section, when you've been at it for 3 hours and you're tired and possibly hungry.
You can choose from the following orders:
AWA, IR, Quant, Verbal (Original)
Quant, Verbal, AWA, IR (NEW)
Verbal, Quant, AWA, IR (NEW)
Put your weakest section first and IR/AWA last. For most people that means Verbal first, Quant second, and IR/AWA last. (Remember that your 800-score is determined by your raw scores (out of 51 points) on Quant and Verbal, not your percentiles.)
Note that as of this writing, GMAC has not updated GMATPrep to incorporate this feature, so you'll still have to follow the traditional order of Essay, IR, Quant, Verbal in the GMATPrep practice exams.
