Is the GMAT Adaptive for Experimental Questions as well?

by samirpandeyit62 » Sat May 05, 2007 12:46 am

Hi,

As we know that the GMAT is a Computer Adaptive Test whereby it Adapts to the capabilty of the Test Taker.

So I would kindly like to know whether this holds true for Expermental Questions as well,

i.e If someone answers an experimental question correctly then is the next question presented to him a little harder?

On the other hand if he wrongly answers an experimental question then is he presented with an easier question as the next one?

To the best of my knowledge, experimental questions are not adaptive to your performance.

Best of luck!

That's right - experimentals are not part of "your" testing experience. They're just randomly testing stuff.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
