As aspirants proceed with the exam, the computer scores your question and then uses them for the next question. If your first answer is wrong then the next question will not be that difficult whereas if you answer the next question correctly the question after that will be harder. This process continues until the end and it accurately assesses the candidate’s ability in that particular subject.
The administration will not allow candidates to return to change their answers because the computer uses your answers to select the next question. So, it is important to give answers carefully, as you will not be able to change them later.
