Computer Adaptive Testing
Summary
Understanding the section adaptive nature of the GRE is crucial for test-takers to maximize their scoring potential.
- The GRE is a section adaptive test, meaning the difficulty of the second section is determined by performance in the first.
- Math and verbal sections are scored separately, and performance in one does not affect the other.
- The first sections are of medium difficulty but contain a mix of easy and difficult questions.
- Scoring is influenced by the difficulty of the second section; harder questions carry more weight.
- Performing well in the first section is essential for unlocking access to a higher scoring range.
