800 level questions??

There are no 800 level questions. Only 1 person in 4000 scores an 800. Getting an 800 is a matter of consistency. I earned a perfect 51 on the verbal section - meaning that I likely did not miss any scored questions - and I did not find anything unexpected or really any more difficult then what you would see in the later parts of the Official Guide or for example in the Veritas Advanced Verbal book.

I would say therefore that the key is to get questions right at a very consistent rate and in the appropriate amount of time.

If you really do want to practice some harder critical reasoning and reading comprehension questions you could always try out some LSAT questions. Here are a couple of articles I wrote about using LSAT questions. Personally, I try to make sure I can do questions at all levels and I think that those in the official sources and specific GMAT resources like the new free Veritas question bank are tough enough!

"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 course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"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."
