testing service is considering for future use. Although the experimental
section does not count towards the test-taker's score, it is unidentified and
appears identical to the scored sections. Because test takers have no definite
way of knowing which section is experimental, it is typically advised that test
takers try their best on every section. Sometimes an identified research
section at the end of the test is given instead of the experimental section. There
is no experimental section on the paper-based GRE
