Hello,

Sorry for a very newbie question. I have a doubt in my mind. I assume Sub 600 question means below 600 level. However I have seen some questions posted in sub 600 from OG which have been catogerized as 650 inside the post. I am not complaining or anything but just wanted to clarify what does sub 600 actually mean?

Thanks

When you say sub-600 in OG, you mean on GMAT Club or where have you seen it categorized as sub-600?

Hi bb,

I will give you an example. consider this

in-college-x-the-number-of-students-enrolled-in-both-a-136199.html

Its posted under sub 600 but the OP mentions its a 650 question.

Got it.... Thank you. Difficulty is a subjective measurement. It is hard to truly determine the difficulty. We attempt to do it using the timer and based on how the question is related to other questions but it is still not perfect for many reasons. So... use your best judgement :-)

Good Luck!

Hi,
Thanks both of you as I found this post after searching in forum. I need a little more clarification, considering the best judgement explained by bb :)

I am seeing three kinds of difficulty level tags in gmatclub question posts. For example:
I) Sub 600
II) 600
III) 600-700

The III types of tags are clearly saying they are 600-700 level but but what do I and II specifically mean?

I don't think your listing of tags is quite exact. Here is the specific list:

Sub 600
600 - 700
700 +

That should clear things up.
