Let's say in RC of verbal I got two paras one is 30 lines and other is 50 lines. The para with 30 line contains the life story of Abraham Lincoln with simple and more generic questions. The para with 50 lines is about NASA scientists working in a specific project with specifc terms and very deep inference related questions. Now in above example we can clearly say that para with 30 line is of medium difficulty and para with 50 lines is of high difficulty. But how do we know that any difficult question is of 690-700 level or 750-760 level or 790-800 level?
How do we know that any question, if attempted right, will confirm 100th percentile? I mean as we know that overall algorthim in GMAT determine the percentile but in general there are only two category of question; simple and difficult then How do we know that particular difficult question is 800 level?
Please post the characterstics of 800 level questions.

I don't think it is for you to know how difficult the question is. Trust me, all questions as long as you don't know the approach to answer it are actually equally difficult. When you know the procedures to simplify a given question, be it quant or verbal, the questions tend to get easier.
The question difficulty is meant for the CAT to classify you, the test taker, as belonging to a certain percentile set of people. And to achieve this, the CAT simply bombards you with so many different kinds of questions for which simplification procedures vary at an alarmingly large degree. The test is all about how much confused it can get you and how much you can prevent it from happening. Do not focus on difficulty levels of the question, focus on cracking the gist of the test, the process of simplifying every question that comes your way to beat it out-of-shape.
