GRE - ADAPTIVE CAT - ->> FIRST TEN QUESTIONS IMPORTANT??

Since the GRE - Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) is introduced in the year 1992, it started to assess the level of the intellect in a student.

Differences between Paper based GRE and Computer based GRE are :

• In the latter, the questions are answered on a computer when compared to the former with the paper
• In GRE CAT, a questioner varies from person to person depending on their intellect whereas in the Paper based GRE we have the same question paper for everyone.

Adaptive CAT

The advantage of GRE CAT is that, instead of all the students answering to the same set of questions, the GRE CAT adapts itself according to the performance level of the student. This is achieved through a set of practical rules that it follows.

GRE CAT Questions

GRE CAT is an adaptability test and it purely depends on the level of answering of the candidates ability
and the manner in which the consecutive questions comes makes your score a good one or a bad one. the process is as follows :

• At the beginning of the test, every student is given the easiest of questions to start the exam from a moderate level as possible.
  

• The next question purely depends upon the students ability to increase his level or decrease his level of difficulty by answering it right or wrong respectively.
  

• If the student select answers wrongly, the next question will be of the same level as the previous question. This same pattern is followed through out the GRE CAT test.

• If the student answers correctly, the difficulty level of the next question would increase. With the difficulty of the questions the score level too increases. Hence, the number of difficult questions the student answers the more score he gains.

First Ten Questions

Since the first few questions play a crucial role in the progress of the test level, the students have to be more careful at the beginning of the GRE CAT test. hence the following points should be kept in mind :

• If the first 10 questions are answered correctly in GRE CAT, it will take you closer to 800 even if you answer the remaining questions wrongly.

• First 10 wrong and subsequent questions correct will not fetch you much of a score.

• Keep this in mind and spend more time and effort in answering the first 10 questions of GRE sections correctly.
