I just solved first 100Q from OG11 book and they seems pretty easy?

Are the real GMAT Q's harder than those? Any feedback

It depends. The OG problems are accurate for people scoring below around 80th to 85th percentile in quant. Above that, and you'll need to practice with some other materials for the harder stuff. I'd recommend taking a practice test to see if that describes you.

Also, remember that the OG goes in approximate order of difficulty, so if you're even scoring, say, a 650, the first 2/3 of each section should be fairly easy.

Solve OG is one thing. Solve OG under time constraint is another thing, totally different. You will be amazed on how low your score can drop when time is against you. Also, go thru the last 20 questions and then re-do it two weeks later….The impression you get when re-doing for the second time is that you hv never seen those questions before. (well,… at least this is my impression…).

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information.

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
