Hey great experiment. +1.
I have another theory (ignore if this is already included in your premise). The success of first 8-10 questions roughly decides the combinations different bins (say 400 level questions, 500 level questions, 600 etc and not to mention the experimental questions). The algorithm then tests your competence against all such levels (learning as it goes along). Hence the performance across all such is required for a high score. Also, the negatives for relative easier questions will be dearer compared to missing a tough question. I will wait to see your future posts.

Interesting thoughts. I made a related observation :
The starting verbal question is somewhat dependent on the Q performance. For instance when I hit Q50, I always see the same boldface CR as the starting question. But now that my Q stats are erratic, the starting questions on V are different.

Bsd_lover, thanks for your experiments!!! +5
It would be great if you just continue this work and finish with a solid conclusion (especially in Verbal
)

. Although I got 10/11 RCs correct. Total 28 wrong.
When I did the guess work for CRs and SCs at least I was getting a V score in the 10s. I certainly wont take this result as an indication that I can slack off on RCs just yet ..
