GMAT Verbal & Essays

Hello,

I was wondering about the overall level of the Kaplan 800 especially in the SC questions that I seem to handle pretty well?

Is it really what "tough" questions look like in the test?

Thank you,

JB

not quite the best guide. i would say the best resource is the banned material that's in unofficial circulation. there r about 1000 sc questions in a file. as i say, it's from a banned source but is still in circulation. MODS...DON'T BAN ME. I would say that's more like the true resource of what the real tough questions r like.
kaplan 800 will help u with the concepts of course.

from where to get this source

I personally find that Kaplan 800 is much easier than the tough questions in the back of the OGs.

I honestly think it should be called Kaplan 650 since that seems more like the difficulty to me.

Hi,

I am runnning out of time in my preparation and I still want to do some practice with Kaplan 800/Advanced, especially with the verbal part.

I really hope that somebody can post a list of the most difficult verbal questions from the point of his own experience. It would really save me time, as everybody says that the book is not organized in an order of difficulty.

Thanks a lot!

If you are looking for challenging SC questions, I agree you'd want to move beyond Kaplan. Have you done the OG and the Verbal OG already? Have you done the Powerpreps?

Also recommended is MGMAT SC. I'm a tutor for Grockit, and we offer a large question bank with SC questions. If you purchase our premium membership, you can create a custom game of only harder questions (16-32XP) and go through our entire question bank that way. You can also try a limited number of question for free.

The 1000SC is unreliable. You're better off going through the back-catalogue of Beat the GMAT SC articles. They are all written by tutors, focus on difficult concepts, and contain many examples of challenging questions. https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/category ... mat-verbal

Good luck!
