in the selective adaptive method .according to users way of answering in 1st section.the question's difficulty will be bases on that.if i am good in maths i score a full mark in 1st section.my 2nd section will be tough and i will loose mark in that.on the other hand if one who is pretty normal in maths got an average mark in 1st section so he gets an easy section and he ultimately scoes high marks..how is this fair.plz reply asap.

That's not how it works. If you're in the average-level second section, you can no longer reach the highest possible score. If you're in the lowest-level second section, you can no longer reach even a high score. Even if you do perfectly on the lowest-level section, your score will be only slightly above average.
