用OG论证verbal最后5题做完的必要性

OG12 第17页明确写着不做完最后5题会大幅扣分,从91%扣到77%.

Myth– It is more important to respond correctly to the test
questions than it is to finishthe test.

Fact – There is a severe penalty for not completing the GMAT test.

If you are stumped by a question, give it your best guess and move on. If you guess
incorrectly, the computer program will likely give you an easier question, which you are
likely to answer correctly, and the computer will rapidly return to giving you questions
matched to your ability. If you don’t fi nish the test, your score will be reduced greatly.
Failing to answer fi ve verbal questions, for example, could reduce your score from
the 91st percentile to the 77th percentile.Pacing is important.

If you do not know the correct answer, or if the question is too time-consuming, try to eliminate
choices you know are wrong, select the best of the remaining answer choices, and move on to the next
question. Try not to worry about the impact on your score—guessing may lower your score, but
not finishing the section will lower your score more.

M– The first 10 questions are critical and you should invest the most time on those.

F – All questions count.
It is true that the computer-adaptive testingalgorithm uses the first 10 questions to
obtain an initial estimate of your ability;however, that is only an initial estimate. As
you continue to answer questions, the algorithm self-corrects by computing an
updated estimate on the basis of all the questions you have answered, and then
administers items that are closely matched to this new estimate of your ability. Your
final score is based on all your responses and considers the diffi culty of all the
questions you answered. Taking additional time on the fi rst 10 questions will not game
the system and can hurt your ability to finish the test.
