Getting Consecutive Questions Incorrect On CAT

[rickyishere]

Does the score drag down more if consecutive questions are answered incorrectly? I recently gave a CAT with 15 questions incorrect, 8 out of which were the last ones. I got a 27 scaled score .

Thanks

I dont think there is some strategy relating to consecutive questions.

Though,I would like to hear from someone professional..

Yes it will be great if some expert can verify this. I had similar issue for quant as well where my last 7-8 questions were wrong. I know this means i gotta work on my pacing

Missing lots of questions will absolutely bring down your score . That said, there is nothing particularly special about getting small numbers of questions wrong all in a row. If you miss a string of questions at the beginning of the test, you still have the opportunity to improve your score by answering the remaining questions correctly. If you miss a long string of questions at the end of the test, however, you will have no opportunity to answer more questions, and as such, no further opportunity to improve your score. The key is definitely pacing. In order to do your best, you need to make sure that you leave yourself enough time to answer each question. And don't forget: answer all the questions, even if you have to guess. The penalty for not finishing is huge!

I hope this was helpful,
