How does the computer-based General Test work?
The verbal and quantitative reasoning sections of the General Test are adaptive tests. They are tailored to your performance level and provide precise information about your abilities using fewer test questions than traditional paper-based tests. At the start of the test, you are presented with test questions of middle difficulty. As you answer each question, the computer scores it and uses that information, as well as your responses to preceding questions and information about the test design, to determine the next question. As long as you answer correctly, you will typically be given questions of increased difficulty. When you respond incorrectly, you will typically be given less difficult questions.
At the start of the test, you are presented with test questions of middle difficulty. As you answer each question, the computer scores that question and uses that information, as well as your responses to any preceding questions and information about the test design, to determine which question is presented next. As long as you respond correctly to each question, questions of increased difficulty typically will be presented. When you enter incorrect responses, the computer typically will present you with questions of lesser difficultly. Your next question will be the one that best reflects both your previous performance and the requirements of the test design. This means that different test takers will be given different questions. Because the computer scores each questions before selecting the new one, you must answer each question when it is presented. For this reason, once you answer a question and move on to another, you cannot go back and change your answer. The computer has alrea
The Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning sections of the General Test are adaptive tests that adapt to your progress so far. They adjust to you your performance level and provide precise information about your abilities using fewer test questions than traditional paper-based tests. At the start of the test, you are presented with test questions of middle difficulty. As you answer each question, the computer scores it and uses that information, as well as your responses to preceding questions and information about the test design, to determine the next question. If you answer a question correctly, you will typically be given questions of increased difficulty. When you respond incorrectly, you will typically be given less difficult questions. Because the computer scores each question before selecting the next one, you must answer each question when it is presented, so this is different from a standard paper test where you can skip around to different questions.

The verbal and quantitative reasoning sections of the General Test adapt to the answers you provide. These sections are designed so that, at the start of the test, you are presented with test questions of middle difficulty. As you answer each question, the computer scores it and uses that information, as well as your responses to preceding questions and information about the test design, to determine the next question. As long as you answer correctly, you will typically be given questions of increased difficulty. When you respond incorrectly, you will typically be given less difficult questions.
