The questions in the test have a descending marking scheme. After around seven to 10 questions, the computer fixes a difficulty level depending on your answers in the previous questions. The higher the difficulty level, the stronger your chances of achieving a high score.
The first question carries maximum marks, followed closely by the second, then the third, and so on.
In short, the final couple of questions are of little or no significance to your final score in the section.
The first seven to 10 questions are absolutely vital. Your section score range will be decided by your performance in these questions.
For example, if the first eight questions I attempt are correct, my score will vacillate between, say, 700 to 800, which is the maximum score.
If I get a couple of questions incorrect in the first eight, my score may range from 550 to 750, though I will need a super performance in the remaining questions to get a score of 750 or above.
The questions after the first 10 are basically to decide where your exact score lies in the score range decided by your previous 10 attempts.
So take ample time cracking the first 7-10 questions, even if you miss out on five questions at the end. A stellar performance in the questions you managed to attempt could even get you a score of 800.
