If you haven't already then subscribe to the gmatclub tests and use their analytics feature to discover conceptual gaps. Offset those gaps by drilling in relatable questions with equal attention to quality and quantity.

Follow the same strategy for Verbal but make sure to use the OG as your only source of practice. Also, make sure to give AWA & IR some time too.

Best wishes! :)

I've just one suggestion for you. If you have enough time within these 3 weeks, just watch at least 50 video tutorials from "Thursdays with Ron" in youtube. I bet with 100% surety your score will increase!
Best of luck!

Do you think the level of difficulty of the questions in OG is less than those that come in the real GMAT Exam?

Thinking about 'difficulty level' is just waste of time and take huge stress in the exam hall!

Not really. Since GMAT is an adaptive test, it is important to nail the 600- 700 level questions so that we can even get a chance to attempt the tough ones. Therefore, make sure you cement the concepts tested in the OG soon,even if it means doing the guide more than once. Once you gain momentum, try out a guide specially designed for Advanced concepts.

Best wishes! :)
