I just get get my head around Kaplan questions. Does anyone else feel the same way?
OG verbal and quantative questions come easy for me, while Kaplan just threws me off completely. Kaplan is very verbose and the verbal is so confusing. I am thinking about ditching Kaplan CAT and quizzes alltogether and use only OG. What do you think?

Kaplan quant is focused on the straightforward type of problem. If you're a recent college graduate, then solving Kaplan problems won't be that hard, since you're still used to working with quant. However, note that the real thing had quite a few annoying word problems, which I think Kaplan does not cover sufficiently.
I have mixed feelings about the verbal. SC is just SC: it's not that hard to produce sentences. RC is too long and convoluted, but I guess it's worth using them for training. CR is weak, though: I don't feel that Kaplan has nailed the GMAT-style in CR. CR is one of the most subtle types of questions I've ever seen!
