Hi, these are my scores Official Practice test scores -
Practice test 1 - 645
Practice test 2 - 715
Practice test 3- 695
Practice test 4- 655
In the first 3 tests, I noticed a predictable pattern of the algorithm - starts off with medium level questions and then progressively become harder if my correct streak contiues for many questions and then again bring it down to medium if I get one wrong. But in my 4th Practice test, I noticed that it started with almost hard questions right from the get-go and then even when I knew I was getting some questions wrong, the level didn't really go down much and continued with the hard pattern. In general, I felt Test 4 questions had much much more complex questions than Test 1,2 and 3. So, I was wondering, since 3 and 4 have common question bank and are tied together, does test scores in Test 3 affect the algorithm for Test 4?

Your results from test #3 have no impact on the questions you see in test #4.
Keep in mind that the topics people find difficult vary from test-taker to test-taker.

Hi! No, all the tests are completely independent in terms of algorithms or difficulty level. GMAC tries to include all types of questions (in terms of difficulty level) in the mock tests. I have seen a lot of aspirants getting difficult questions at the beginning (even in actual GMAT). And sometimes the test begins with really easy questions as well.
Since there is a dip in test 4, I hope you have analyzed the test and figured if you got a few streaks of questions wrong (especially towards the end of the test), spent a lot of time on initial questions and then you were running against time etc.
