Has anyone else taken these?

Talk about a confidence destroyer. These questions are absurdly difficult--there's nothing in the OG that comes close in comparison to this level of difficultly.

They even put MGMAT's tough quant questions to shame. I don't see how anyone could solve the majority of these problems in under 2 minutes.

I was never stumped by Knewton's quant material until I encountered these problem sets. But despite taking these sets multiple times, I cannot complete the 15 problems in less than an hour, and even then I'm still scoring under 70%.

I thought my quant skills were progressing nicely until I encountered these problem sets. Has anyone else taken these? Thoughts/comments?

I can't be the only person who thought these were unrealistically difficult.

I just finished the Math midterm challenge as well and kicked my but too. It was a nice change of pace though. I felt the regular questions were starting to get a little easy and most of what I was gettign incorrect came from simple mistakes that I could easily follow in the explanation.

The verbal wasn't too bad, but I agree: The Knewton math mid term challange was difficult!
