1. Is this the same pattern that you have seen in your PREP TEST?

1 SC
2 SC
3 CR
4 SC
5 CR
6 RC
7 RC
8 RC
9 CR
10 SC
11 SC
12 CR
13 SC
14 SC
15 RC
16 RC
17 RC

I can't say that I've seen this pattern, but can help me understand how this might help?

There is no specific order - the GMAT works from a question bank organized by difficulty level and types of questions. It will have a target # of questions for SC, CR and RC. Then it will randomly give you a question type - then if you get it right, you might get a more difficult question and can be randomly chosen between SC, CR and RC. If given RC, it will give it to you as a group - so several questions relevant to that passage. Then it will jump to SC/CR until the target # of such questions are reached.

Each GMAT Exam can be slightly different - but the target # of questions for each section will always be reached. The specific algorithm has never been released but it follows these guidelines.
