Since the exam adapts itself in response to your answers, you cannot skip and later return to any questions. And, you cannot rethink and change your answer at a later time. You cannot seek out and answer the easier question styles first. In other words, you must do the best you can to answer each question. Choose the answer that you have determined is best, or guess if necessary, confirm your choice and move on to the next question.
Points are on the first half of the section .
On the CAT, how well you do on the first half of each section plans a very big part in determining your final score. Thats because the first half of each section is where the computer program that moves you up and down the ladder of difficulty does the major part of its work. If you do well early in the test, the computer will give you harder questions- and those questions are worth more points. So, work carefully through the first half of each section. If you find that time is running out, you can always pick up the pace in the second half.
