However, there is one section, that is the quantitative comparison section, on the math, quantitative section. And that's why the new GRE is a section adaptive test. Rather, difficulty within a section is random, but depending how you do in the section determines your next section, the section you get afterwards. That is, question five is not more difficult than question three, which is more difficult than question one, etc. And essentially, what this is saying, is the test does not become harder within the section. Now, first off, this test is section adaptive. Now, to figure out what is an easy test for you, it's good to have an idea of which type of questions are harder, which ones are time drainers, etc. And that way, get as many points as you can in as little time as possible, or before the time runs out. Find the easy questions and the medium questions by using the easy to use scroll feature. It will have bunch of medium questions, as well as some easy questions. Remember, on the medium section, through even math or verbal, that is the first section you receive for either math or verbal will have some difficult questions on it. Mind you, I wouldn't scroll all the time just looking for a question that is easy, then, skipping the medium ones, but I would definitely use the scroll feature to avoid the difficult questions. So what you have now, is the ability to scroll, to go from question to question to find the easy test. You have to answer before moving on, and that was very stressful, it's something that the new GRE creators wanted to change. Well, you aren't allowed to skip a question. Now, this comes down to the next important point is, yes, you can skip questions, and the reason that this is mind blowing, is that old GRE. The GRE is the same way, that if I those questions that are easy, and go to those questions, another way of thinking it, saying, it is do the easy test, the test that for you is easy. It makes sense that you would go for the low hanging fruit, the easy through. If you wanna be pick three apples, whatever you pick that from. And that fruit is the exact same that these, these apple is no different from this apple, is no different from this apple. Assume that everyone of these fruits is an orange, or an apple. And maybe, you've heard of this expression before. Okay, that tree's enough, here fruits on the tree.

So I like to think of this and the trees. So why waste your time with a really difficult question? Two minutes have gone by, and you're really no closer to the answer than when you started, versus, using those two minutes to solve easy questions.

Because, the easy questions are worth the same number of points as the hard questions. So what does that actually mean, in terms of pacing? Well, do the questions that you find easy. Again, every question is worth the same number of points. It's intuitive, it must be the case, but it isn't. And of course, the easy questions are worth the least number of points. The medium questions are worth slightly fewer points than that. Wow, why is that? So my boy, what's going on here with this statement? Well, I think, almost everybody takes this test assumes that the hard questions are worth more points. Here it is, every question is worth the same number of points. First of, I'm gonna tell you something that is mind blowing, at least, from the GRE standpoint. In this video, we are going to talk about pacing and the ability to skip questions.
