GMAT Math

I started solving the Bell Curve question bank related to the GMAT.

I found the difficulty level of the questions to be significantly higher as compared to the questions in the OG.

What is the actual difficulty level of the GMAT(Is it based on the difficulty level of OG or is it more based on the level of the bell curve question bank?)

The test is adaptive, so it's a bit misleading to talk about a general difficulty level. If test-taker 'A' gets off to a good start and answers nine of the first ten quant questions correctly, she is going to see more challenging questions than test-taker 'B' who struggles on the early questions.

You've probably noticed that there is a substantial gap between the difficulty level of the easiest questions in the OG and the most challenging questions. The test-taker who gets an elite quant score on the real thing will consider the OG questions, on average, easier by comparison. The test-taker who struggles on the real thing may not see it this way. The best way to get a feel for the texture of the test is to take one of the practice tests on mba.com.
