Can't manage 700 level GMAT Club questions in time [#permalink] New post  10 Dec 2014, 05:39
Hi,
Ive been working on my GMAT for a while now.
Although I get most of the GMAT OG questions right when I practice, whenever I move to GMAT CLUB tests 700 level question

I can almost NEVER complete them on time.
Should I be worried about this and whats the best way to manage difficulty level.

I do maintain an error log btw, its not a spreadsheet but a manual question bank of sorts. Most of what I get wrong are 600-700 level Qs

The 700-level questions on this site seemed more difficult than the real test questions. I also struggled to do a lot of the 700-level questions here in time (especially the math questions) but hit 730 on my test in October (Q48/V41). Don't stress too much - I'd suggest you improve your efficiency in the 600-level area and continue to expose yourself to 700-level but don't worry if it takes you 2-2:30 to complete them.

A better benchmark would be the questions identified as hard in GMATPrep Question Pack 1. Also, please keep in mind that one is not supposed to be able to do the hard questions in two minutes, the key is to do the easy ones in say 30 to 45 seconds, and apply the saved time on the hard questions. Of course, there will be times when one would be able to do the hard ones in less than 2 minutes, but don't bank on that consistency, it is just not realistic even for the bulk of the high scorers.

Cheers,
Dabral

Question, where do I find or see the questions that are identified as hard in GMATPrep Question Pack 1? Is that the one that you can purchase as an addendum for $29.99?

Thanks.
