OG vs. OG Math and OG Verbal

Question

Hi,

What's the difference between the Official Guide and the subject specific Official Guides? Which is better to practice from?

Is the level of difficulty similar in both?

Hi  Morgan15 ,

Quant review and verbal review books have additional official practice quesions - no overlap with the official guide. All three books are must have as there are no better questions as the official ones. The difficulty is more or less the same.

Hope this helps!

They basically serve the same purpose and have the same types of questions (except that the subject specific books only contain questions from that subject). The questions themselves are unique to each book, though. The difficulty range is similar.

I suspect that more people have the Official Guide, so it may be a bit easier to find videos and discussions on the OG questions than the subject specific ones.

First,you should go with gmat official guide.If you feel confident in solving these questions then you don't need to go for subject wise because level of difficulty is same and each question is a gem in all the books but you need to practise tougher questions because you will get tough ones in real GMAT.

The GMAT is an adaptive test, so it's not as if it will present test takers with only difficult questions. Even at the highest (score) levels, the GMAT does not present only super tough questions, and it's safe to say that OG questions are very representative of the actual exam. "Real" questions might  feel  tougher because of test day pressure.

Hey,
you can always start with the Official Guide and then for more practice purpose refer to the subject specific Official Guide. The questions given in both are different but difficulty level wise they are similar in nature.
