Awesome post, many thanks soumya1989 Carcass

I have 2 doubts:

1.
Quote:
Each question is weighted the same. So the question that gives you the radius of a circle and asks for the area, which should take no more than 15 seconds, is worth the same as the one about the monstrous polygon.

If the 2nd section is harder, will it also contain questions which are easier however carry less weightage, hence making less impact on final weighted avg score.

2. Do bonus points are also awarded in quant section


For the first one: the second section if it will be hard basically will have question of 1 and 2 level but just a few. 3/4/5 level of difficulty will be the most. see here my analysis of a score.

https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-diagn ... tml#p65152

Therefore they will have MORE impact on the average score. The difficult ones. The easier yes: you are correct.

For the second: the bonus is awarded OVERALL on the score you will have on the two sections both quant and verbal.

Hope this helps
