Do Verbal Questions Start Easy then get Hard?

On the real test, does the computer start you off with easy questions and the more you get right the hard it gets (like in math). I am wondering this because I did 2 practice verbal sections, and 1st time I did well at the beginning (1st 30 questions) then the remaining questions I did poorly. And 2nd time doing the test I did the beginning badly and end was good.

I know that your score is better if you get more questions right at the beginning, but I was still wondering if the questions start off easier?

Yes, it's just like math, in that you start with a medium (not easy) level question and the test adapts accordingly.
