I believe the questions are roughly evenly divided into easy, medium, and hard. It is a great source of additional problems, so I would not hesitate to use it after finishing the official guides.

I would go for the question pack. OG 13 will overlap with previous OG's, whereas I believe the question pack is new questions.

Hi agarwalva,

I work for GMAC and was involved in the GMATPRrep project. I hope you find the following useful.

The questions in Question Pack 1 are distributed as follows:
* Data sufficiency: 27 easy; 45 medium; 28 hard
* Problem solving: 32 easy; 28 medium; 40 hard
* Critical reasoning: 14 easy; 26 medium; 20 hard
* Reading comprehension: 23 easy; 23 medium; 14 hard
* Sentence correction: 15 easy; 30 medium; 15 hard
* Integrated reasoning: 4 easy; 13 medium; 7 hard

Good luck

Thanks Rebeccaloades..

If I just want to pick up the and do the medium and hard questions .. is it safe to assume the questions at the end are harder

The questions are classified as hard/medium/easy. The Quant Hard questions are extremely difficult (in the sense that there's no way most of them can solved in under 2mins). The verbal questions are pretty good....

Can the question pack be used to take a new Practice CAT (graded)?

I am not that great in quant, but i really do feel that with the right approach one can solve these questions within the 2 minute time limit. Ofcourse some of the HARD WORD PROBLEMS will take that extra 20-30 seconds but that is pretty much accounted for and balanced with a lot of the hard - medium difficulty questions that one can solve within a 1 - 1.5 minutes... No doubt that given 37 700-800 level questions per section most will struggle with timing however the real GMAT starts off with medium difficulty and then goes up, and throw in 6-10 experimental questions and it means that not all the tests would include such brutal questions Smile ..

Are the SC questions on the QP 1, representative of the actual test? I find them quite a bit easier (HARD ones) then the Last few OG questions.
