Tip 6: You can figure out how you’re doing by observing the difficulty level of the questions. If the questions get harder and harder, it means that you’re doing well.

That’s a good tip, and it should work, since every time you get a question right you’ll be given a more difficult question.
Thanks for the contribution!

There’s a problem with this tip. GMAC states that most people cannot accurately assess the difficulty level of a question (and I think they’re right), so you can find a “hard question” easy because you’re very comfortable solving this kind of question and, on the other hand, find an “easy question” hard because you’re not familiarized with it.
Moreover, if you start thinking that the questions are too easy you can panic and screw everything up.
