Well My experience with
MGMAT says that verbal is easy as compared to GPREP. Though CRs are tough (almost vague and irrelevant for GMAT), SC's are easy to fix and eliminate, RCs are overall interesting and short.
Disclamer: All the info below is what I collected from various forums on internet: mostly from expert views & opinions.
Current pattern in GMAT, as told by recent takers, says you would see 4 passages, 1 or 2 would be really long (4-5 para), depending on where you r hitting. However, maths is really tough, you wouldn't see such hard questions continuously even if you are going right because after a level, GMAT adjusts to certain difficulty level where some questions would feel hard and some easy, depending upon the topic you are comfortable with.
