Does the computer-adaptive algorithm and scoring system youve described suggest any specific test-taking strategies?
Yes. Exercise special care in responding to the initial questions during each of the two multiple-choice sections. Read very carefully, double-check calculations, and so forth. I should augment this advice when it comes to the Verbal section. During this section, take particular care with the first few questions of each typeReading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning, and Sentence Correction.
