Hi,
I have two weeks left for my GMAT, and I am solving Official questions these days. Maths is my forte so I am always scoring well there. I am thus focusing on Verbal section. I have been doing timed sessions of Verbal Guide and Official guide at Wiely portal (2 Sets of 41 questions daily). I am doing well (I hope so) with around 80-85% accuracy. But on contrary my accuracy falls to around 60% during CATs.
Justed wanted to know what best I can do at this moment. Are the offical questions too simple?? Should I practice from some other source or else what could be the best strategy now??
Thanks in advance!!

I'm no expert, but am going to try to answer that question!
The questions which appear in the OG and other official sources are retired
questions(from the GMAT database), but are mostly of easy and medium difficulty.
But since GMAT is an adaptive test, the questions appearing initially in the test maybe
like the ones available in the official sources, but as you get these questions right,
the questions get tougher. Hence, the drop in the accuracy.
Another reason for the drop in accuracy could be because of the timed environment,
or plain pressure of the test. Do you time yourself during practice?
As for the strategy, I would recommend you to continue the questions from official sources,
because they are your best bet. You could also purchase the GMATPrep tests and do the full tests
in timed environment, if you have not already done them.
Hope that helps you in some way!
