Order of Difficulty in OG

by mstone » Thu Feb 18, 2010 11:20 am
Is there an order of difficulty in the questions in the OG and OG quant review? It seems that some of the earlier problem solving and earlier data suff are easier. Generally speaking, do the questions get progressively more difficult?

The problems get progressively difficult. I think they state this on the cover.

I think in all the books questions get progressively difficult. Experts please confirm

Yes, they state that the questions get harder. However, I think it's a good idea to do all the questions. I do ten and then check the answers. Since the knowledge builds the lessons I learn on each set of 10 are usually applied to the next set, often with harder twists. I've found it very helpful.
