Hello everyone! My exam is in 3 weeks I was hoping if someone could explain the difficulty level of the questions in the real exam to get a V40+ score w.r.t the difficulty level showcased under statistics in GMAT club? For example, from what I have heard for a 700+ score majority of the questions would be of medium difficulty level 45% - 65% (GMAT club Statistics) and 7 - 8 questions of hard difficulty level 75% - 95% (GMAT club Statistics). Also, I believe to score a v40+ one should have an accuracy of 80% for questions falling under the criteria of 45%-65% difficulty level (GMAT club statistics). Please let me know if my understanding is correct.
I would really appreciate your help! Thank you!

Hello!
Short answer: this is basically accurate.
Longer answer: because the Verbal section is not strictly based on accuracy, WHERE in the section you miss/get these questions matters.
For example, if you have the above accuracy stats, you're knowledge is good. But if you run out of time at the end, and leave the final 5 questions blank, despite having incredible accuracy on the first 31/36, you will not achieve a V40+.
Similarly, if you get the last 5 questions in a row wrong, you will probably not get a V40+, but there can be variance from test to test.
Finally, if you got the first 5 questions in a row wrong, and got every other question right, you'd have about a 50% chance of getting a V40+
So, if you're asking about your skill level, you can trust the above stats.
But, if you want guaranteed certainty about whether you'll hit a V40+, it's all about your pacing strategy and making sure you're not getting a boatload of questions wrong at the start or the end.
Does that help?

Hi TulikaArya.
Your take is pretty close.
I'd change what you said about scoring V40+ to you need to have an accuracy of at least around 90% in medium and 70% in hard verbal questions.
You can get some additional insights from this post.
