I recently started my prep for GMAT. I went through the MGMAT SC guide as I thought it was my weak area. After that I tried the questions in OG 13 and I was able to apply the theory that I learned in the MGMAT guide and I got only for 4 wrong answers out of the 50 that I attempted. 
But then when I took the GMAT club verbal tests I scored 24, 30 and 27
in my tests. In SC I was getting an accuracy of only about 50-60% in the GMAT club tests whereas it was around 92% when I attempted OG question.
Can someone tell me what could be reason for this?
Are the gmat club questions more difficult than the questions in OG (in case of verbal )?
Are the questions in OG arranged in some manner like for example the easier ones are in the starting and then as we move towards the end questions the difficulty level increases?

Hi mohitgupta1994,
Questions in the content areas of the OG are generally arranged in increasing order of difficulty (although you'll find some "easy" questions among the "hard" ones, and vice-versa).
When it comes to training for the GMAT, practice problems and quizzes are great ways to build your skills, learn new content, and discover any weaknesses in your approach. However, the only REAL way to assess your comfort level with the material is to take a FULL LENGTH CAT (with the Essay and IR sections), so that you can see how you perform in the context of the ENTIRE exam. For example, if you're strong at SCs, but get too tired during the Verbal section and make a bunch of silly mistakes, then you still have some things to work on. Since quizzes and book-work don't adapt and don't necessarily follow the "ratio" of content on the Official GMAT, you might also be working in a way that is not realistic, so you should look at these score results more as a means to find (and fix) your weak areas and less as a gauge for "scoring."

For OG - the diagnostic questions for SC and PS are slightly more difficult than the average question in the practice question section.
The practice questions generally start off easy and get harder and harder -- but it's not always perfectly like that.
When you study OG, you should follow along our video explanations here: www.gmatpill.com/official-guide-gmat/
