Hi All,
I've been on this journey now almost 5 months and I've been all of the map. In the beginning I was actually scoring better than I am after 5 months of studying which is extremely frustrating. I am now finding a pattern that I will do much worse towards the 2nd half of each section (quant,verbal). For example, for quant first 17 questions I am at 70% and remaining at 50%. For verbal even worse, 1st 20 questions 76% vs last 21 33% correct. I am finding as I am getting 1/2 way through or later I get ency and distracted and guess at alot of the questions. Has anyone run into this? Any suggestions? I'm almost ready to throw in the towel.

Everyone does worse on the 2nd half of the sections because you are suppose to do worse in the 2nd half of a Computer Adaptive Test... remember the questions get harder as you get the early ones right.. once you get to "your difficulty" level in theory you should be getting about half the questions right.. IE you would get one wrong, they reduce difficulty and you get next one right prompting harder difficulty question which you get wrong..
In practice this doesnt work exactly this way because your proficiency isn't the same across all topics.. To improve on the 2nd half of CAT's, you have to practice more difficult questions basically.

I have also been noticing that similar trend during my test preps. I have seen that some of my 2nd questions being wrong are as a result of rushing the final 10-15 questions, which is not good. It shows that I must significantly work on the way I mentally time myself.
