i understand that people get different amounts of subject matter on their respective exams....

but does the exam adjust according to how well you are doing?

meaning do the blocks get harder if you are answering questions well?

are exams scaled differently according to their degrees of difficulty?

is there an experimental block or are their just experimental questions?

thanks

do the blocks get harder if you are answering questions well? No, the questions are pre-determined.

are exams scaled differently according to their degrees of difficulty? Yes, each question has its own difficulty profile. If you get a test with lots of hard questions, you can miss many more than someone who got an easy version of the exam and still get the same score.

is there an experimental block or are their just experimental questions? I have heard from a pretty good source that there are up to 50 experimental questions scattered throughout the exam.

oddly enough....the new edition of Isersons talks about how the test does change depending on how you are doing....but there was no mention of the methodology....

by that reason, the best scoring people woulda had the hardest exams, and they woulda been the ones that complained the most, no? They would have the lion's share of WTF questions. But i don't see them complaining.

but what if that's because they're NAILING ALL of them? meaning...as the exam gets harder they're stepping up to the plate and continuing to answer all of them well?!

i thought that's what made them the top scorers....😀
