Does anyone know if the question difficult rating on GMAT Forum is based on the old format or the new Focus Edition level? How are these levels determined?

Hi. These are based on the classic version that has a zero at the end which is why the difficulties are 700, etc. however, It’s not based on classic or focus level because you could never get 700 in problem-solving. You can get anything from 6 to 51 and problem-solving and now you can get anything from 60 to 90. These are more of conceptual levels. In total, There are seven difficulty levels. One is the easiest and seven is the hardest and everything else is in between.

Understood, thanks for the response. May be a difficult question to answer, however to get 80-82 on the quant side of the GMAT focus, do you have any indication of which level you will need to be getting the majority correct as a minimum?

Here’s the thing, sometimes you may miss a hard question and sometimes you may miss an easy question so the scoring aspect should be taken in a single question perspective but more in a set.

I would recommend taking a set of 10 questions which consists of hard, medium and easy in equal numbers. That’s the first challenge to divide 10 by 3 😇

I would use questions from second fourth and sixth difficulty levels for example. I wouldn’t use the easiest or the hardest.

To get 99th percentile, you should solve nine out of 10

To get 90th, you should solve eight out of 10

To get 80th, you should solve seven out of 10

This is a hard rule but you will be able to benchmark with practice test scores. If you’re able to hit eight out of 10, you should be able to take the quant section of a GMAT prep test and see what that correlates and then adjust your benchmark to maybe shoot for nine out of 10 or perhaps you are at a great spot with only eight and you can focus on something else.

Ok amazing, really helpful advice to structure practice! Appreciate it

Can someone please suggest quant resources that are closes to the actual exam?

Hii is paper version of gmat official guide from amazon same as that of mba.com.

Yes. You can compare them using the ISBN numbers.

And do I need official guide for each section separately as well

No, you do have to buy individual guides. However, most people end up getting all of them for extra practice. However, you can get away with just the main guide. You can get that to start. Has about 700 questions or smth like that. The sectional ones have 200-300 each.
