[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that the supposed adaptive aspect of the test introduces an element of unfairness and calls into question the quality of standardization.[/quote]

I took the digital GMAT during the first year it was released and there was a lot more official paper and digital study material available for that test.

I feel the College Board is being deliberately opaque.

I distrust the mechanisms for passing to the harder questions.  That seems like a real opportunity for screwing up your score.[/quote]

I agree, given that this is for college admissions I don't really much benefit of steering the kids who struggle with the harder questions to the easier/capped lower score modules.  The SAT hardly seems the place for participation trophies and theoretically nerves could cause poorer performance on the first module, but that student doesn't have the chance to recover because they have already been shunted off to the easier module.
