Sorry if this has been discussed before; I didnt find any thing in this directions:

My question is: DO the three verbal sections work independantly?
That would mean SC questions will get tough based only on the your response to previous SC question?
So, if the order is SC, CR, CR, SC and you get the first SC wrong and the two CRs right, will the 2nd SC be more difficult(as CR are right) or will it get easier, as the previous SC was wrong?

I guess the question is, do the three sections progress independantly with respect to difficuly of questions?

Thanks

Exactly my thoughts. Glad someone asked it.
Though on a truly adaptive test, they should not act independently, but on various mock CATs I get the feeling that they do so. Can someone shed some light on the real GMAT ?
Also, if an RC passage asks 3 questions, do those three questions progress in an adaptive manner in their difficulties ? They should, but I guess they do not.
