The GRE exam is section-adaptive. This means that the difficulty of the second portion of each subject area (Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning) is decided by the performance in the first section.

For example,

Scenario 1: If you properly answer several problems in the initial Verbal Reasoning segment, the computer will presume you are an excellent verbal reasoner. As a result, the second Verbal Reasoning portion will most likely be relatively more tough & more challenging.
Scenario 2: If you struggled with the first Quantitative Reasoning section, the computer will make the second Quantitative Reasoning section relatively easier.
