Tips for GRE Exam |

What is the best way to take the exam? How do I take the computer-adaptive tests?
How the New GRE CAT Works ?The GRE is now only available as a computerized test. Here is how it works: instead of having a pre-determined mixture of easy, medium, and hard questions, the computer will select questions for you based on how well you are doing. The first question will be of medium difficulty (500-level questions- half-way between 200 and 800); if you get it right, the second question will be selected from a large pool of questions that are a little harder; if you get the first question wrong, the second will be a little easier. The result is that the test is self-adjusting and self-correcting to your skill level.

Harder Questions Count MoreA consequence of the CAT format is that the harder problems count more than easier ones. Imagine two students, one who does ten easy questions, half of which she gets right and half of which she gets wrong, and one who does ten very difficult questions, half of which he gets right and half of which he gets wrong. The same number of questions have been answered correctly in each case, but they don't get the same score.
In fact, the student who answered five out of ten very difficult questions incorrectly could still get a very high score on the GRE CAT because the harder questions are more heavily weighted. Simpler questions might be easier to answer, but they count much less. Your goal should be to get as many harder question right because that will get you your highest possible score.Start Off Strong:The CAT puts much more value on the earlier questions than the later questions. The computer has to make large jumps in the estimation of your score for each of the first few questions. The later questions are used to fine-tune your score. To get the best possible score, focus more time on the earlier questions than the later questions.
