GRE-CAT
The Computer Adaptive Test is scored differently then the Paper-Based Test.At the start of each section, you will be presented with a question of medium difficulty. Depending on how you answer that question, you will get a harder question or an easier question. You cannot go backward, only forward, and you cannot skip. You will want to finish the test, but budget your time. Guessing at the end and also, not finishing will seriously lower your score.
