I just took a GMAT Focus mock on GMAT Club and felt a huge difference compared to the official practice mocks and OG.
GMAT Club mocks felt way more difficult, especially Quant and DI, and even Verbal. Many questions felt impossible to complete comfortably within the given time. DI in particular was very lengthy and mentally exhausting.
On the official practice mock, Quant was much more straightforward. Verbal felt a little tougher than GMAT Club but easier than OG in many cases. DI was still challenging but far more balanced and manageable.
I scored 675 (95th percentile) on the GMAT Club mock, V83, Q84, D84.
Did anyone else feel that GMAT Club mocks are tougher and longer than the official practice mocks, real exam, or OG?
Also, I would really appreciate any pacing strategies to manage time better in each section.

Hi Kshitij1122,
There are many reasons a test can feel more difficult without actually being more difficult (I'm talking about only the verbal section here), and most people would love to see a 675.
At the end of the day, however, the official practice tests are likely to give you a more accurate score estimate and testing experience, so your time management strategies should ideally be built around the official practice tests. At a minimum, you should set time markers that can help you check whether you're ahead or falling behind (in verbal you may also want to track the number of RCs/long passages). Have you already put something like this in place?
