Verbal Reasoning Quantitative Reasoning Experimental Section These can appear in any order! 6 sections About 4 hours of testing time ETS uses the experimental sections to test out new exam questions. Because ETS needs data on the questions, they won’t identify the experimental section, but they also won’t count those questions toward your actual score. Even though one of your sections will probably be experimental, you should treat every section as if it counts! The one piece of good news here is that instead of an (unlabeled) experimental section, you may see a section clearly identiﬁed as “Research,” and you can choose to skip that one if you like. Good news…you do get some breaks. There is a 10-minute break after the 3rd section, and a one-minute break between the other test sections. There is NO break between the essays, so you’ll do two essays and two multiple-choice sections—a little over two hours of testing—before you get a break. You cannot exceed the designated break times.

That is the trick: the experimental section could be anywhere, and will not inﬂuence your routing. Thus, one must treat every section as if it counts. But how do I do that? What about the experimental section? How does it factor in? To get a high score, you must get to the hardest questions and answer them correctly. You must do well in the ﬁrst GRADED sections so that you get routed to the “hard” second section, which holds the key to your highest score. So, I just need to do my best on every section! If you fall short in the ﬁrst graded section, you will be sent to a medium or even an easy section next, and your score potential will be capped.
