We have run an analysis of the GMAC's latest book and the questions that have been published and found a few interesting facts. For one, 152 of the questions are new and never seen before and have never been posted or discussed on the internet. Additional 42 questions are "gems" they are like gems or diamonds in the rough - newly discovered and unearthed! (consider them new too). The remaining about 100 questions are from the GMAT Paper tests and earlier versions of the Official Guides.
In terms of difficulty, you can see that INDEED many questions are actually hard and difficult. There are are a few odd and easy ones here and there, but only a handful.

I also did a bit of analysis of the OA's and found some interesting patterns:
I am sure it is a pure co-incidence but it seems that DS really favors "A" as the answer choice and CR favors the "Bs" Just an interesting observation....

carcass Love you. Just quick questions
1) Is there any provision from attaching the links of the questions
2) Can we create a search tag GMAT Advanced Official ,It would be much easier to navigate through. Please pardon me if it has been created and I am not aware of.
