A) I'm struggling to figure out- approx how many questions are tested in verbal and quant for each level:
1. 500-600--quant+verbal
2. 600-700--quant+verbal
3. 700-800--quant+verbal
Nobody knows!

avyagarg
B) Also how many questions can one get wrong in Quant in say 600-700 and 700+ level to get a score of Q49+
Nobody knows!
avyagarg
C) Similarly how many questions can one get wrong in Verbal in 600-700 and 700+ level to get a score of V40+
Nobody knows!

avyagarg
D) What should be the timing for each of the above-mentioned levels for both quant and verbal?
Nobody knows!

Hi avyagarg,

Many Test Takers become too fixated on the 'implied level' of the questions that they're working on - instead of what really matters: defining WHY they're getting questions wrong and becoming more efficient at approaching the overall Exam. It's also worth noting that just because a 3rd party describes a question as "700 level" does not necessarily make it so.

Based on one of your recent posts, it sounds as though you are in the early phase of your GMAT studies. The types of questions that you asked in this post imply that you might not choose to take a practice CAT until you feel comfortable with questions at 'all levels' of the Exam - and that is NOT a good idea. One of the keys to a proper Study Plan is to take FULL-LENGTH CATs in a realistic fashion and at regular intervals (since there are Test-taking skills that take time to develop, but that can really only be learned by taking CATs over time). With a Score Goal of 740, we need to better define how much work you'll need to do to get to the point that you can consistently earn that type of Score. This means that we need to better define your CURRENT skills, strengths and weaknesses.

As such, it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test (perhaps this weekend); you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi avyagarg,

As has been said, unfortunately, there is not an exact answer to your question. The other thing to keep in mind is that, when you are taking the actual GMAT, you really won't have the time to analyze the “level” of question in front of you. So, honestly the best thing you can do is just ensure that you are preparing in a thorough way, so regardless of question type of difficulty level, you feel you can effectively answer it on test day. With all this said, if you need any advice regarding your study plan, feel free to reach out. Also, you may find it helpful to read the following article:
