The GMAT starts with an analytical writing, 30 minutes long section where you have to complete two writing tasks. The following is a quantitative, 75 minutes long section consisting of multiple choice questions connected with data adequacy and problem solving.
The verbal section is the next one, consisting of multiple choice questions based on reading comprehension, critical reasoning and sentence correction. In the case you do not finish every multiple-choice section of the test your final score will depend on the number of questions you answered within every section.
