CBT stands for computer-based test and CAT stands for computer-adaptive test. Special software enables the computer to accurately determine your proficiency at a given task within a short time. In brief every test taker gets a different set of questions. The computer uses your performance on the early questions to give either easier or more difficult subsequent questions. This is the adaptive part. The harder the questions you successfully answer the higher your score. You will find more information and specific strategies for CBT CATs on the following pages. What Is the Format of the Test The computer-based test is comprised of four sections one of which is a pretest section that will appear after the Analytical Writing section in no particular order. Questions in the pretest section are tried for possible use in future tests and will not be counted toward your score. A research section may also appear as part of your test and will also not count toward your score. Questions in the research section are included for the purpose of ETS research. At the beginning of each section you will be presented with directions specifying the total number of questions and time allotted for each particular section. Total testing time is up to 3 hours 15 minutes not counting the research section. The Analytical Writing section will always appear first. The Verbal and Quantitative sections will appear in any random order including an unidentified pretest section which may be either Verbal or Quantitative. Because you cannot predict which section is a pretest and which will count toward your score treat each section with equal significance. What Is in the Analytical Writing
