The GRE is on computer (unless I'm completely out of it) so they don't have an experimental "section" per se, but some experimental questions mixed in with your regular questions. (I don't know for the GRE but for the GMAT it's almost 1/4 of all questions) So, the other questions add to your score and help the computer decide what questions to give you next--in general, easier if you get them wrong and harder if you get them right-- (that's what computer-adaptive means) but the experimental ones may be easy, hard, in-between or just wrong, depending on how they're experimenting on them. (They're experimenting on the QUESTIONS, not on YOU, by the way! They're checking if the questions are good (meaning people who score well get them right and people who score badly get them wrong) and determining how hard they are.)
The writing part always counts.
