Bunuel 700+ DS collection

Question

Is the Bunuel 700+ DS collection of questions a compilation of good questions from the popular CATs such as Kaplan, Manhattan etc. ?
This collection no doubt is a wonderful effort, but I ask this because 10 questions into it and I feel I have seen these questions on some CATs. So, before I proceed further, I am apprehensive that whether doing this set beforehand would undermine the authenticity of my quant scores on future Mock CATs ?

Please reply. My date is nearing, and I have to plan accordingly.

Are you talking about this collection: the-sum-of-n-consecutive-positive-integers-is-85413.html ? If yes, then these questions are from various sources and among them might be some number from CATs too.

No. I am talking about this : 700-gmat-data-sufficiency-questions-with-explanations-100617.html

Bunuel · Answer

It's a larger set, so yes, it also contains some questions from CATs.

dreamchase · Answer

So when do you suggest one attempts this set ? Most of my mock CATs are kept for the last week. I am confused now about attempting this test. And I am not going to get time after I complete all the practice CATs.

Bunuel · Answer

If you are going through some other questions to practice (for example on the forum) then there is also a chance that you'll encounter some problems from different CAT's. So it's really up to you: the questions/solutions from the set might help you to improve your skills but on the other hand they might affect accuracy of the CATs. Maybe you can find 2-3 days after your CAT's are done to brush up your math skills with the set?

Thanks for the advice, Bunuel. There are both sides to doing this set. I think I will postpone it for a while and hope to find time afterwards.

Hi bunuel,

i have been following you and getting around 30 questions per day. i have recommended many others to follow you, thanking for you help.

i am struggling very badly in quants. last time i took the CAT i got 26 and the number of questions correct were 16/37. though verbal was fine i ended up at 470.

i would request you to give me a link or word doc of as many problems as possible of 500 - 700 level which i need to master post which i can go to 700+ questions.

your assistance in this regard would be great..
thanking you...

Unfortunately I don't have any such collection in downloadable format. Though you can try: DS Sub-600 Level Questions: search.php?search_id=tag&tag_id=223 DS 600-700 Level Questions: search.php?search_id=tag&tag_id=222 PS Sub-600 Level Questions: search.php?search_id=tag&tag_id=217 PS: 600-700 Level Questions: search.php?search_id=tag&tag_id=216 Also for harder questions you can refer to the links in my signature, there are 16 different collections with detailed solutions. Hope it helps.

hi,
Incase u come across any such word docs please post the same.

thanks

dreamchase · Answer

@pappu 1)Bunuel does not come across such docs, he "makes" such docs. 8-)

2) If you want to practice sub 700 level questions, why don't you take up the three OGs. OG 10,11,12 combined is one vast resource for such questions. 3) If you have special preference for word docs, you can have a look at PS1000, DS1000 docs, each having 1000 q of respective section. However, I can't comment on difficulty level, as I have not used them.

pappueshwar · Answer
