Note:
•	The candidate cannot choose a section to attempt first. The Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation section is presented first, followed by Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning.
•	Each section is timed separately. Once a section ends, candidate can no longer go back to it.
•	On-screen timer is made available for both the sections each counting down 1 hour and 10 minutes (i.e. 70 minutes). When the time is up, the first section ends and the candidate can no longer go back to it. The second section then begins with the on-screen timer counting down from 1 hour 10 minutes again. Once the second section ends, the test will end.
•	The candidate cannot end the first section before 70 minutes are up. However, he/she can end the second section before 70 minutes are up.
