Hi, I would like opinions on the level of difficulty for the Problem Solving questions found in the GMAT Review.
I have gotten through about 110, just under half, of the Problem Solving questions and haven’t found many to be difficult. All but 2 of the questions I got wrong were due to carelessness, as opposed to being stuck and not knowing what to do. (I’m getting ~93% correct). I find these questions good for building basics but I took a Kaplan test the other day and found many more multi-stage, intricate questions on that test. (Maybe the mixture of Data Sufficiency and Problem Solving affects my perception…) I want to spend time on Data Sufficiency since I’m pretty weak in that area but before I move on I want to ensure I am comfortable with Problem Solving.
How do others rate the GMAT book Problem Solving questions in terms of difficulty? Hard, medium, easy, and are they representative of the questions someone trying to score in the 700s would see on test day? (Yes, I know the questions were taken from old exams…) Are the questions later in the section, like #180 through #240, harder? Depending on the responses, it may be a better use of time to skip the rest of the GMAT Review book and start working on the Kaplan 800 problems…
Your response is appreciated. Best of luck to all.
