I just started working sentence correction out of the Official Guide 11, and I was wondering if the test bank gets significantly harder near the end of the 140 questions.

Right now I'm breaking it up into sections of 14 questions (since I'll see about 14 on the actual test). And I got 12/14, then 13/14, and 13/14. And I'm curious if these would all be easy questions, and the later questions would be much harder.

Does anyone have any experience with this? It seems that math and critical reasoning would be easier to order in terms of difficulty than sentence correction.

Hi,
I found both Math and Verbal at the OG easy. I don't think the materials there are the best for practice.

I'm looking for harder questions ...

Its weird, I hear that a lot, yet most of my friends who do well on the gmat, like 730+ say all they did was study the OG and take the test.

OG is Bible

by gmat740 » Thu Mar 19, 2009 7:45 pm
OG is Bible for all the Test Takers but at the same time the it makes not so good attempts to teach concepts.
Initially I was solving OG for CR, and although I was able to figure out my mistake but I was not able to develop some strategies to tackle questions.
However, with the help of few good books like CR Bible by powerscore has helped me a lot.

Would like to hear views of other test takers as well.

I've never had any issues with OG Critical Reasoning questions, but when I do MGMAT or Princeton Review questions, they just dont feel right. Sometimes the questions seems to be "getting at something", but the question itself isnt that clear.

Your best bet might be to work out of the OG and have a tutor or someone experienced explain each question to you.

I agree. I've heard great things about CR Bible (I haven't used it), but I think the OG provides plenty of good verbal practice. As gmat740 said though, it doesn't teach concepts or strategies.
