In the paper version of the exam, test takers answer the same questions in the same order. In the TOEFL computer-adaptive test, the computer "adapts" to the test taker's performance.

The Test progresses according to this formula, and the level of difficulty is factored into the score. See similar questions...

CBT is not at all like traditional psychotherapy. In traditional psychotherapy, the focus is often on talking about one's past. Talking about the past can be very helpful in dealing with many life issues, but it has very limited value in helping people to overcome panic disorder.

If comparisons with previous years are made, they should only be based on a country's score, not its rank. A country's rank can change simply because new countries enter the index and others drop out. See similar questions...
