Difficulty of questions in GMATPREP

by shreerajp99 » Sun Oct 07, 2012 7:27 am
Hi,
I would like to know whether in the future we can get to know the level of difficulty of the questions that we answer in GMATPREP. We can see in gmatprep question pack whether the question level was hard/medium/easy but in the gmatprep exam will we get to see the difficulty level(600,700 etc)?

Thanks,
Shreeraj

Hello, Sheeraj. Because the exam in GMATPrep simulates the GMAT exam, you will not see the question difficulty level on the practice exam, only on the practice questions.

Thanks for the reply Rebecca.One more query:Say i answer a 700 level Sentence correction question correctly.Is it that the next question( say CR) will be of 700 level or it can be of any level.

Thanks,
Shreeraj

Difficulty level is calculated by item type. So if you answer a 700 level SC question correctly, it would affect future SC questions, but not RC or CR. Thanks for asking!
