Yesterday i started solving OG and I'm using OG Wiley Filter.
1. I solved Rates,Ratios& Percents easy level questions from OG and got 11 wrong out of 26. Now should i move to medium level difficulty questions from Rates,Ratios&Percents or should i start solving easy level Algebra Questions?
2. IN OG when should i move from one difficulty level to another difficulty level and when should i change topics?
3. I was solving OG questions for first time and idk why but i have to read question 2-3 times to understand it even if it's small word problem like question. Any tips for it?
Can someone please guide me🙏

Hi 12921.
The best way to prepare for the GMAT is to work topic by topic, by first reviewing or learning the concepts and strategies involved in a topic and then answering many questions involving that topic until you get questions of that type correct consistently.
From what you said, I get the impression that you are seeking to prepare mainly by using OG questions and may have skipped the reviewing or learning concepts and strategies step. If so, you'll do much better if you get the concepts and strategies down first, and also, the OG has a limited number of questions. So, you may have to use another resources to have enough questions to master a topic.
In fact, many people use the OG for mixed practice after they have already done topic-focused practice by using questions from other resources.

Ideally, you would move on from a difficulty level or a topic only after you have mastered answering questions of that difficulty level or topic, in other words, only once you are getting questions of that difficulty or type correct consistently.Quote:

This experience is common, partly because learning to answer the questions efficiently takes practice. Your move is to take your time answering practice questions at first and shoot for high accuracy even if, to get them correct, you have to reread them. Then, to answer the questions more quickly, you can seek to find ways to answer them more efficiently, such as by learning to read the question only once.For more tips on how to prepare for the quant and verbal sections of the GMAT, see these posts.

Hi 12921,
Many GMATers face pacing issues in the Quant section, the Verbal section or both - so you are not alone. That having been said, pacing issues do not exist on their own - they are the results of other issues.
It's been approximately 4.5 months since you took your initial CAT/mock. Have you taken any additional CATs since then (and if you have, then how did you score on each - including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
