I have found that the OG questions are too easy, and that the MGMAT questions are extremely hard. Is the real GMAT somewhere in between? Anyone who has already taken the test could shed some light on this subject.

Actually both are not accurate representatives. OG problems are easier than the real GMAT while the MGMAT problems take way too long. Unless you are one of those quantitative geniuses who get 50/51 on the practice tests, MGMAT might help destroy your confidence. Though the questions are good for practice as long as you are aware that they are hard.

OG is a waste because its too easy.
MGMAT rocks because it's pretty hard.

My take is that to do well on this test, you need to be very comfortable with the hard stuff out there so my vote totally goes for MGMAT. As mentioned above, just be aware that MGMAT is quite hard. Learn from it and don't let it shatter your confidence.

thanks guys. Yeah, I think MGMAT has shaken my confidence a little. But the only thing is that I see all the high test scorers getting upper 40's - 50's on their practice MGMAT scores. Not only high test takers, but it seems like a lot of people.
