I didn't look at the answers after my first attempt though. I re-took the question bank 3 times. The firs time I got about 50% sentences wrong...

Congratulations jube - Would you say the quant questions in the real GMAT are representative of the GMAT prep/OG questions (at least the harder ones). Before getting to this, I do want to mention that I'd exhausted most of the OG quant questions during the first half of my prep. I'd bought both OG ...
