If you give enough correct answers in the first section, you move on to the more complicated the second section and, therefore, have an opportunity to score more points.
Some examinees will also see an additional experimental section in one part of the GRE, the results of which will not be included in the final figure. That is, if you see three math sections, it means that your experimental part was mathematics, but you will not know the results of three sections were not taken into account.
