IR

All your IR questions are repeated in all CATs provided. I appeared for CAT3A today, and the IR section had all the questions from previous CAT.

Editing my post. At first, I thought you were experiencing a known issue that I thought we'd fixed earlier this week.

But I just looked up your account and I now see that you have started in on your 2nd set of 6 exams. The IR section of the GMAT is not adaptive—the 12 questions in the panel are a set / static group of questions.

So when you start to repeat our set of 6 exams*, you will see the same IR panels that you saw the first time around, yes.

There is one bit of good news for you, though: About a week ago, we updated all of our IR questions (so that they are now only somewhat harder than the real thing, not much much harder ). So you will see some new questions and some updated versions of old ones (vs. exactly the same ones as you saw before).

*You are seeing the repeats starting with exam 3A because you did not do IR on the first 2 exams of the first set of 6. So you did the 6 unique panels across exams 3, 4, 5, 6, 1A, and 2A, and now you are repeating them.

just a quick question, does the IR section questions differ very much between multiple real test attempts?

[StaceyKoprince]

Yes, you will see different questions each time you take the real test.

On IR, each panel is set with a static mix of questions before you begin that panel. This differs from Q and V, where the test is adapting to you as you take it (so each person sees a different mix of questions as s/he progresses through the Q and V sections). But they will make sure that they're not giving you the same IR panel that you saw the first time you took the real test.
