Difficulty of OG 12th Ed questions

by kn2130 » Sat Feb 06, 2010 1:42 pm
Hello!

I'm wondering where I can find information about the difficulty level of the questions in the OG book. So far, I find the questions to be too easy and, while I like seeing real retired questions, I'm wondering what the more difficult questions look like. I'm answering with 95% accuracy (with the errors mostly due to careless mistakes), and I'm pretty certain I'm not ready to get an 800 on G day. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much!

The more difficult questions are towards the end of each section. I would say if you're getting the last 50 questions in each section right at a 95% clip, then you will score well above 700. The only questions that I noticed that were significantly more difficult than anything in the Official Guide were the Critical Reasoning and the Sentence Correction questions. The difficulty of the math matched the difficulty of the most difficult problems in the Official Guide.
