Thanks jko! Kudos for you 8-)

I have used the three Official Guides (10th, 11th, and 12th). However, I think that the difficulty level of the OGs is not enough for someone who wants a score higher than 700.

It might be a stupid question, but have you done all the questions in the guides? they're arranged in order of difficulty, so if you've only done the first half of the questions for each section, then those'll be pretty easy.

I think by the end of the sections, the questions are reasonably difficult.

Hi jko,

Yes, I solved the entire guides, and, in my opinion, the diversity and dificulty level of the OGs are not enough. For example, the OG doesn't have many questions about combinatronics, or probability.

Just compare the questions in the OGs and in the GMAT Prep, and you will notice the difference. Maybe, I am wrong; our points of view could differ according to our backgrounds.

In this sense, in my specific case, I will use other sources to be prepared for a 700+. Maybe Kaplan or Knewton, and also a good quant book that I read the comments about it. It seemed very pretty good.
