I have just completed the MGMAT All the Quant, Verbal guides and will now start practising the OG questions. Wanted to know the best way to go about doing this.
To the best of my knowledge, questions in the OG are separated into categories and within each, they are listed in an increasing order of difficulty.
So, should I start practising ~30 quant and verbal questions each from a single category within them (say, only PS and SC) per practice session?
Or will it be better to break my practice questions across all 3 verbal and 2 quant categories to better capture the feel of the real GMAT exam?
All help and guidance is much appreciated!

Hi 760AndUp,
It's not quite that precise, so it's not as if Q(n+1) is always tougher that Q(n). Instead, think of those sections as being divided into 3 broad categories: easy, medium, and hard. This is reflected in the online platform as well, where you can choose the difficulty level of the questions you want to practice.
As for how you want to practice, I'd say there's no one answer here. I certainly ask my students to put together mixed practice sets, but solving questions of only one type can also be useful. You're right that mixed sets better capture the feel of the GMAT though. Maybe get going and see what you prefer? And, of course, make sure that you start taking practice tests at some point.

Hi 760AndUp,
You ask a rather broad question - and the answer that best fits your particular needs will depend a great deal on your strengths and weaknesses - along with your goals and timeframe. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) Have you taken any practice CATs/mocks yet? If you have, then on what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
3) Is your overall goal score 760 or something else?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
