[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be aware that the digital test is adaptive. If you don't do so well on the first section, your second section will be easier and your score will be capped. If you do well on the first section, you get a harder second section and an opportunity for a higher score.[/quote] So maybe that’s the harder part- that if panic at beginning and mess up some questions you’re screwed to get a high score?[/quote] Yes, if you can’t answer many questions you will get a low score. That’s how tests work. :roll:[/quote] What PPs are referring to is the questions start easy and if you get them all right, the test starts giving you much harder questions, allowing you to enter the "high-scoring" track. But if you "panic" and mess up the beginning, the tests steers you into a "lower-scoring" track and it won't even give you the harder questions. So you are capped at a lower max score. It's not just about "not answering many questions correctly and getting a low score". [b] It's about a new type of testing where if you goof up the beginning questions out of nerves, when you really knew the answers, you don't get to show your stuff later. You don't even get a chance to answer them, so it's impossible to get them right.[/b] So 2 test takers sitting side-by-side may be taking the SAT with entirely different sets of questions.[/quote] This is ridiculous. How absurd.[/quote]
