General exam question

by jazzwillbe » Mon Feb 12, 2007 12:25 pm
Hello all,
I have a few questions on the exam format. Hope you experienced guys can help me here....

1) Is it always necessary, that the order in the test is a) Issue AWA b) Argument AWA c) Quants d) Verbal

2) How many questions per section are experimental ?

3) Years ago when I took the GRE, I had a few practice questions before the actual test, just to get used to the mouse clicking.....Does the GMAT have this

4) Upto how many universities can we report the score to?

5) In GRE there used to be a way where you can go online and look at the number of mistakes you had made. Is there a provision in GMAT like this.

6) How many minutes break do we get between AWA's and sections.

I would appreciate answers to these questions.

Thanks in advance

J

Agree with your answers! And to clarify: you won't get actual practice questions at the beginning, but you do get a little tutorial that shows you how you're supposed to navigate the test, answer questions, etc. (You can choose to skip the tutorial if you don't want to do it - it takes about 5 minutes.)
