Hi sukhman,

What is the source of this latest group of questions that you've posted? And are you actually studying for the GMAT or are you studying for some other Test?

These are unofficial questions from GMAT prep institute in Pune, India. At higher level above 700 questions tend to get tricky. You are right thats pretty much how Indian English language is ! I am preparing for verbal from GMATPrep Official questions but for Maths I am referring to other sources due to level of diffrence between OG and real GMAT.

I think Rich is referring more to the quality of the questions than the difficulty level. The English is pretty clunky in most of the questions you have posted.

Cheers,
Brent

Hi sukhman,

I think that Brent and I both agree that the quality of these sample questions is clunky relative to the 'style' and quality of Official GMAT prompts. Beyond the Official materials (in print and online) there are lots of difference sources that you could use that properly 'mirror' the style of questions that you'll see on the Official GMAT, so you might consider investing in some of those materials and less so in these questionable knock-offs.
