I had 3 quants sections. I guess the type of experimental section would depend on the type of program you apply for (you need to specify the program at the test screen menu). If your program is more of math then you will get quant section, but if you study English literature, you'll get verbal one. I wonder what is algorithm for those who omit their program details?

DI - is indeed time consuming due to mixture of formats, graphics in form of pie-charts, line graphs, bar charts,etc , as well as tabular-table format, and question being in verbal format. It takes time to translate the quesion into compatible format with the graphics.
They always try to confuse you with AMOUNTS vs PERCENTS VS PERCENT CHANGE (sometime they mix amounts with %, e.g. asking to calculate % change in the number of something, but the number is not provided, only given as some % to total population, so you end up first calculating two amounts and then diving them together to get the ratio and ouf that % or % change). You must be sure that you understand the difference between these notions.
Also do some practice with GRE calculator. In many cases you will use it, so make sure you understand how to do calculation in WHAT order most efficiently using memory-in and recall functions. This will save time alot, believe me.
