OG 11 Progressively harder? [#permalink] New post   13 Oct 2007, 21:03
Guys,

This applies to quant questions, SC and CR.
I've finished the OG11 and when checking my mistakes and time spent on questions, I felt like the last 20-25% of the questions were considerably harder than the first 75-80%.

Would anyone agree? Or am I being spooked?

Cheers!

Yes, they are placed in order of difficulty. I suggest you divide each section into thirds. You should be able to breeze through the first third. The only questions you should get wrong there are careless mistakes. The middle third should not be too difficult either, but you might see some conceptual stuff that you don't yet know. The last third will definitely be more difficult and more time consuming.

Good luck.

Agree with kidderick. Sometimes though i feel like I find an odd ball hard question in the easier pile.

OG Diagnostic is the hardest in my opinion.

I've only gotten to the first half of quant problem solving, and that seems to be the case. I would qualify it as easy still, but I'm happy with the way it's working because it's helping me remember a lot of properties and stuff I had forgotten. Feeling confident!

Does anyone knows what score you can achieve with OG11? For example, I started with PR, but I realized after I was done that I wasn't going to achieve a high score with it, their questions in the 'hard' bin seem way to easy.

Thoughts?

I didn't score an 800, but I feel the OG is sufficient. Some people don't believe so, but the difficult OG questions are pretty tough.
