The problem is that what we might consider an easy or a difficult problem may not truly be statistically easy or difficult. The official GMAT problems have a probability distribution for each problem that a student of a particular ability is able to answer. I know from personal experience that an official GMAT problem that every student of mine considers to be easy turned out to be one that almost everyone was missing. In summary, you just have to trust the GMAT algorithm, each question has a detailed statistics associated with it and the final score takes in to account how many you got right and what the difficulty level of those questions were.

Cheers,
Dabral
