We’ve worked incredibly hard to build TTP into the best test prep experience possible, and it would mean a lot to us to win Newsweek’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Test Prep. If TTP has helped you, we’d be incredibly grateful for your vote.

What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Hi everyone,
Currently I am giving sectional mock test by filtering only hard and very hard questions in both gmat club and magoosh.It's because I am of the notion that practicing only hard questions and not the easy/med will build your stamina in exam.But what I have observed is that not only I am unable to complete all the questions on time but also my accuracy is dropping significantly by giving test only with hard questions.Experts please suggest if this is the correct way to practice/write the sectional mock tests?Also pls give suggestions on how to proceed with my prep?
Also another question-Those who get 700+ in gmat exam do you guys write sectional/full tests only with hard and very hard questions or is it adaptive?Sometime I feel that. 700+ guys would have been able to solve most of the hard questions on time had they been in my place.
Someone pls reply.I am feeling very demotivated because of this

No, practicing only hard/very hard questions is usually not the right way to build GMAT stamina.
The real GMAT is adaptive and mixed. Even high scorers do not face only brutal questions from start to finish. A big part of scoring 700+ is getting medium and medium-hard questions right efficiently, not proving you can fight every hardest question on GMAT Club.
What you’re seeing is expected: hard-only sets lower accuracy, destroy pacing, and train bad habits like overthinking and refusing to move on. That can actually make your real exam performance worse.
A better structure:
- 60-70% medium/medium-hard questions
- 20-30% hard questions
- occasional very hard questions for learning, not timed score prediction
- mixed timed sets that resemble the actual exam
- deep review of wrong and slow-correct questions
Use hard questions to learn traps and advanced patterns. Use mixed sets to train test behavior.
Also, don’t compare yourself to “700+ people” solving every hard question quickly. Many high scorers skip, guess, or move on from bad questions. They just protect the rest of the section better.
I built a free GMAT planning tool from real debrief patterns that may help you see how people actually structure prep for 700+ paths: prepsignals.vercel.app
Main point: train for the exam you’ll actually take, not an artificially brutal version of it.

Wow, that sounds tough! Kudos to you for pushing yourself, but this isn’t what MPrep instructors suggest to our students (or do ourselves) when aiming for a 700+ score. As someone with a 99th percentile score, I can assure you that I would also struggle on mocks set up the way you described.
I recommend using the practice exams available on MBA.com. They’re adaptive, and they’re the most realistic simulation of what you’ll see on your actual exam. It’s honestly really important to have the adaptive experience — you need to know how to slow down and get easy questions right, how to adapt to changing difficulty, and how to manage time across a mixed difficulty set. The first two tests are free, and the rest are worth the investment.
Our Free GMAT Starter Kit provides guidance on how to prepare for and interpret the results of your practice exams — all written by 99th percentile scorers.
