The exam pattern for GMAT has been revised since April 2018. It still consists of 4 main sections: Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal Reasoning, Analytical Writing and Integrated Reasoning. However the duration of the exam has been reduced to 3.5 hours inclusive of the breaks. There is now a reduction in the number of questions in both the Quant and Verbal sections as given below :

• The number of Verbal questions will be cut-down by 5: from 41 to 36
• The number of Quant questions will be cut-down by 6: from 37 to 31

The reduction in the questions is only with the non scoring section of the exam (i.e) the research section of the exam. Although there is no particular way to determine which questions are part of the non scoring section and hence it is advised that you treat all sections of the exam in a similar manner. However, the other sections: Analytical Writing Assessment and Integrated Reasoning remain unchanged. GMAC has also issued a statement mentioning that while there is a change in the duration of the exam there will be no significant impact for candidates attempting the exam since the content for the GMAT exam remains unchanged.

The GMAT Exam has four separately timed sections. You will have the opportunity to take two optional eight-minute breaks during the exam.
