This means that the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/how-does-gmat-computer-adaptive-test-work\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>testing software adapts to your performance<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;as you progress through the test. Therefore, your performance on each question will determine the difficulty level of the next few questions in the exam. Consequently, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/how-to-measure-your-gmat-ability\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>GMAT score is calculated on your ability level<\/strong><\/a> i.e. on the basis of the difficulty level of questions that you solve correctly and not just the number of questions that you get right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note All three sections \u2013 Verbal, Quant, and DI are computer adaptative. Read our deep-dive on how the<a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/how-does-gmat-computer-adaptive-test-work\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Computer Adaptive GMAT Works<\/a>. Understanding the test is the first step towards acing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a computer adaptive test, based on your response, you will then receive an easier or more difficult question. Your score is a composite result that considers the difficulty of each question you got right and wrong. Because each question you answer directly affects the next question you get, the <strong>CAT does not allow you to go back to questions you\u2019ve already answered during the test. But in the Focus edition, you will get a chance to bookmark a question and at the end of the section, time permitting, you are allowed to change the answers of up to 3 questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Are you aiming for a top score on the GMAT?
