I came across a discussion from another forum about the same topic and the thread ran 3 pages. Please check the link Below.

Some even accused Indians that Indians cheat in the exam(Because they simply can't digest the fact that so many Indians getting 700+)
As far as my personal Opinion is concerned, I do feel YES GMAT is definitely getting tougher. And for Indians probably tougher(although the mba.com website claims about its non-discriminatory policies etc etc)
I repeat this is my personal Opinion.
My friend who was doing an internship in France, gave GMAT in Paris, and he scored Q51 V36(730 total), he told me that he saw some questions almost analogous to OG.
However, a few days later, when I gave my GMAT in Delhi(India) I found Question way too tough.
The excerpt in italics below is from the discussion of the other forum(link provided above)
I have checked with 6 guys 3 of them US-citizen and 3 of them visa/ead holders in US
for 3 US-Citizens quant was as easy as even getting a repeat from OG 11
for the 3 'desi's quant said "who's your daddy ?"
I am an Engineer and my favorite subject is maths. In none of the GMAT Prep test I scored below Q51. and the questions I faced in real GMAT were way too tough, that led me wonder how my Indian friends who don't have firm gasp of Quant, how will they manage to score decently.
Now coming to the Verbal Section :
CR=> I did a few sets of CR from LSAT sets, but I found them to be tough and above the level of GMAT, so I dropped the Idea of having. That was one of my biggest mistake. I found CR's almost of the same level like that of LSAT's. I was shocked.
RC: Yet another LSAT type Big-Big passage, the passage was nothing less than a nightmare.
I had a very pathetic experince. I am going to give GMAT again, but now I have prepared myself for tough questions.I don't like to give excuses for my mistake. I do admit that I did commit mistakes. But certainly I didn't found a single Question which I can say was OG level
Looking forward to a bright future ahead
