Is GMAT Classic is getting more and more difficult?

Hi Mentis678.

Any given GMAT can seem easier or harder to a particular test-taker depending on how the questions on the test match up with the test-taker's strengths and weaknesses. Also, because of the luck or the draw, a given GMAT may or may not have a significant number of questions that are relatively wordy or otherwise seem particularly difficult. So, it can seem that the classic GMAT is getting harder if you hear from people who have had a hard time with the test.

However, the truth is that, overall, scores on the classic GMAT have on average been increasing, rather than decreasing. So, while the questions on the test may have evolved some and some questions may be wordy or seem difficult, the difficulty of the classic GMAT has remained about the same.
