For those of you who have taken the CDP tests, do they get harder as you go along? Also, how much did you improve between the first and last tests?
 
This is from a while back, but i was wondering the same thing. I just did the 5th test, and my score jumped waaaaay up. Was wondering if the tests get easier along the way?
Also, I don't find the Keyhole and TFE to be that hard, so I'm guessing it is harder on the real thing (just hope its not as bad as Acheiver). And angles and hole punching are about the same?

Thanks guys 😀

Nah! I don't think there's a specific hierarchy of difficulty they follow. Some are more challenging than the others.
My scores improved dramatically by the time I was taking the 10th test. For the few first tests I was averaging about 19, but toward the end I had scores in the 22-24 range.
 
I don't know if it got easier, but my scores improved tremendously. The first 3 tests I got 17 7 18, it was INTENSE, I didn't know what the heck I was doing half the time, and I rushed to not run out of time.
After buying 5 more tests I spent 1 week planning out a war strategy against every section. This WORKED. I took the timer off for all the previous tests I took, and took as much time as needed to get every question right - but more important, I devised personal strategy for every topic. After that, I worked on the timing. After doing lots of problems I finally saw my scores jumping up. I finished in time and fared better subsequently. From tests 6-10 I was getting 22's. On test 10 which I saved till the day before the test, I got a 23. And on the real thing I got a 24. So if you see your scores improving on CDP, thats a good sign. Just make sure you master your strategies. On the real thing I didn't break a sweat cause I knew I was prepared already, plus I knew it was going to be easier not harde (thats how the test prep companies work).
 
I definitely thought that my 1st and 5th test were pretty easy. The 2nd and 3rd tests, I still scored well, but i think the problem was that i didn't take time to really go over my previous test and figure out what i did wrong and strategize how to improve.
