OG 12th edition: questions difficulty level?

by iamseer » Fri Apr 09, 2010 10:33 pm
hi All,

Is there some way in which one could know the difficulty level of the questions in OG 12th edition? Looks like they are not arranged in order of difficulty as in OG Verbal and Quant Review.

I need to find out my weakness areas. Some questions seem like a breeze and some hit like a brick. But then am not sure if what seemed like a breeze was b'cos of my strength area or was it b'cos of the question's level.

Thanks

I don't think so. As far as i've heard from this forum, OG12 orders the questions in terms of difficulty (Easy questions coming first, followed by medium and hard questions).

I also agree with papgust, that OG12 had the problems in the order of difficulty level.

Thank you papgust and rajeshsources for your replies.

Also, happened to read the first few pages of the OG 12. On page 10, section 1.3, they specifically mention that the questions are in order of difficulty level. Wish they highlighted this point on cover page as they did on Verbal and Quant review.

Cheers!!

p.s. probably they are using some statistics. But to me some questions defy this logic :)
