Hello,
I am in the second month of my studies. So far I have been focused on quant (I scored 90%+ on the verbal section of my first diagnostic test) and have been going through the MGMAT guides and answering the suggested questions from the OG Guide and Official Quant Review 2nd edition at the end of each book. I have repeatedly read on this forum that the questions in the official guides are not believed to be as difficult as the real test if you want to score competitively.
What level of difficulty would the last 1/3rd of questions in the OG be? I am hoping to score above 80% on quant; but am historically weak in math. I scored a Q44 (73%ile) on that diagnostic test. If I am hoping to ensure I can score a 47 or 48 on the real test, will the OG not expose me to this level of difficulty?
Ideally, I would supplement the OG with other tests (like the GMAT club tests), but time is a factor and I want to make sure I have the basics down.
Thanks for any guidance!

OG is in ascending difficulty. The problems you see towards the end are the 650+ difficulty. You won't have many problems that would put you in the 47-48 quant score.
If you're comfortable with your 44, you should begin working on more advanced problems.
For this, you should look into GMATClub tests, MGMAT question banks, Jeff Sackman's books, etc. Make sure you supplement questions with content, as remember, the GMAT questions are designed to stratify people and you need to figure out how to maximize your potential. This is why we stress an error log.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me find the best one or two resources for getting from ~Q44 to ~Q50. Right now I am thinking of buying Advanced Quant from MGMAT and using that for the last month or so of my studying. Possibly supplement that with GMAT Club tests. Am I missing something or approaching in the wrong way?
