Pending Internet Computerized Adaptive Test (PiCAT) Practice Test

Choosing to move on from questions that take too long is a strategic approach that can lead to better outcomes during the PiCAT. This test format is designed to adapt to the test-taker’s ability level, meaning it's more beneficial to focus on questions that you can answer correctly within a reasonable amount of time, rather than getting stuck on a challenging question. By moving forward, you allocate your time effectively, allowing you to answer more questions overall, which can improve your score significantly.

This approach helps maintain a steady pace and keeps you engaged in the test without wasting precious time on a single difficult question. The adaptive nature of the PiCAT means that your performance on previously answered questions influences subsequent questions, so answering a larger number of questions can enhance your overall performance. This method optimizes your chances to demonstrate your knowledge and abilities across a broader range of topics in the allotted time.
