Did you know that the GRE is now a computerized, adaptive test? This means that the difficulty of your next question is determined by whether you got the last one right, thus pinpointing your exact skill level more precisely in fewer questions.

Which is cool and all, except when it fucks you over after a later question in the math portion inadvertently makes it clear what theorem you misused in a previous question. Used to be, subtle test-taking skills like using later questions to answer previous questions could be used to your advantage. Now all you can do is sit there and grit your teeth.
