A few months back, when I bought OG 11, I decided to save the quant diagnostic test for a later time - early in my studies it didn't make sense to me to even try to answer the questions in the diagnostic section, since I knew deep down that I would get most of them wrong - plus I didn't need the diagnostic test to tell me that I needed to improve (I knew I had my work cut out for me). Anyway, in short, I decided to take the diagnostic test later when I was close to done with my prep.
To date, I have studied for the last few months and have seen improvement on the quant side based on my practice tests from MGMAT and GMAT Prep.
However, today, I decided to see how well I would do with the diagnostic test under timed conditions (2mins per question) in the OG 11 since I've read in this forum that they are reflective of what you'll see on the actual GMAT. The diagnostic test quant questions seemed somewhat tougher than the MGMAT and GMAT Prep math.
With that, my questions are:
- are most of the quant questions on the actual test more like the questions in the quant diagnostic section of OG 11 (pgs 20-25)?
- or will they be more like what you see in the quant practice sections of OG 11 and GMAT Prep software?
- or would you say the math on actual test is like a combo of all math on GMAT Prep, OG, and MGMAT?
I know that the level of difficulty per question on the actual test will fluctuate with my performance, but what level of difficulty are the diagnostic quant questions in OG 11? Would you say all of them range btwn 600-700, above the 700 level (to me, none of the questions seemed to range from 400-600, all seemed to be above 600 and even slightly skewed toward the 700-800 range).
