This has been my subjective point of view. Can someone strengthen my argument with their experience?
I realized it the moment when I was only doing the OG problems on GMATClub, I rarely got one wrong and even the ones rated as 'hard' are quite solvable.
A few days ago I also started implementing the OG more (doing PS drills - 20 problems in a row under time constraint) and my hypothesis got confirmed again. Rarely do I come across a problem that goes beyond my thinking capabilities.
Now when I flip over to ALL the GMATclub problems the struggle usually start's - no matter the rating of the answers it is often the case that getting the right answer envolves some kind of struggle. I sometimes feel like the authors want to push each other to see who writes more "encrypted" problems.
The non OG rated hard ones are usually totally out of my scope, like not even a slight chance I would solve them on a test day. (Remember the hard rated OG ones come quite smoothly)
Anyone else who noticed that? Or is it really just my subjective bias.
I was quite astonished when I went from "only gmatclub problems" to OG problems.
And I don't want to disregard GMATclub - I love it, I actually think me only doing the problems on their strengthened me a lot.

Moosewala - Not true. GMAT Club questions are meticulously designed to match the official questions in terms of flavor and difficulty-levels. The strength of the GMAT Club Test Center lies in the fact that it offers a wide variety of 700-level questions. At some point on the real-GMAT, the test is going to get tough and you'd encounter some really difficult quant questions. Therefore, practicing GMAT Club questions will only help you build muscle to face those challenging questions. Please note that it is not ideal to judge GMAT's quant section based on questions found on the official guides; the official guides offer only a few 700-level questions. I can share my personal view on GMAT Club Tests; during my first attempt, I have a score between Q48 and Q50 on sectional practice tests and then went ahead to score Q50 on real-GMAT.

I can relate to you buddy, It's not just you a lot of people think that Gmatclub Quants is way harder than OG, but the point of these test is to broaden your horizon, to make you think. See the bigger picture, the easier it gets for you to solve the more confident you will be on the test day. Gmatclub quants targets at very minute details(what I feel) which help you to avoid silly mistakes and lose points on actual Gmat. Because we tend to do the hard stuff but forget to brush up basics. Gmatclub serves you a basic question in such a way that when you see it you think it is hard, but when you really get down to solve it and you realise the trick behind it, this is what prepares you for Gmat quants.
