Experimental Section Fatigue Adjustment?

[chris.a.lee]

Quick question, if anyone knows the answer: Suppose you care most about your verbal score, and your GRE sequence ends up like this:
1. Essays
2. Experimental Verbal
3. First Quant
4. First Verbal
5. Second Quant
6. Second Verbal
Is there some adjustment in the scoring process for the fact that, by the time you get to the second verbal section, you're much more fatigued than you would have been if the experimental section had come last?

Or you're just out of luck?

Interesting question. As much as I wish this would be true, I highly doubt ETS would account for that because after all, the GRE is just as much a test of endurance, stamina and operation at one's mental peak as much as of reasoning and analytical skills.

I'd be surprised if ETS did factor that into the scoring.

Hey Chris,

Yep. They don't care how you tired you are. The jerks. : )
