Hi guys, wish you a very happy deepawali (a Hindu new year).
I was just going through the quant section and was wondering as of how many questions will be of the 700 level if you are targetting the score of 650-750 range?
The section with the 700 mark questions on the website have some really nice and tricky questions but some of them might be very time consuming too.
I wanted to know as to what should I be expecting when giving the test and where can I improve if the percentage of questions are more than 50% if you're doing well on the few early questions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi believerinthy,
Many GMATers become too fixated on the 'implied level' of the questions that they're working on - instead of what really matters: defining WHY they're getting questions wrong and becoming more efficient at approaching the overall Exam. It's also worth noting that just because a 3rd party describes a question as "700 level" does not necessarily make it so.
A 650 - 750 range is a relatively big range of Score results - and there are a variety of different ways to end up with those varying types of Score totals. By extension, trying to define the number of "700+ level" questions you might receive is a problematic question, especially since your performance is what will dictate how the Test will adapt to you (so there is no predetermined, 'fixed' number of questions that you can expect at that higher level). Thankfully, taking FULL-LENGTH practice CATs/mocks under realistic testing conditions is a good gauge of your ability level and what you might face on the Official GMAT, so we can use that data to help you define how you should proceed with your studies.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your exact overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Thankyou for your insightful reply.
I had given GMAT an year earlier with roughly preparation of 3 months. (But I do keep researching and solving questions from time to time.)
I ended up with a 590. ( Q - 47, V - 23)
This year I'm planning again to give GMAT, in December or January period.
I have prepared roughly and through a different strat, watching videos like Thursdays with Ron and a few others in the verbal section.
For quant I don't want a tutor, with a science background. I am able to adapt and learn pretty quickly each and every aspect that GMAT course has to offer.
What bothers me is that I take up more than a minute and a half on questions that are specifically 700+ gmat defined by gmatclub.
Now I know this is a third party site, but so are all the others. And I really appreciate what bb has accomplished and made of this site over the years.
But if I had a target of say 700 and I had to face more than 5 of those questions in exam, I'm pretty sure I won't able to meet my goal.
Maybe I'm underconfident, but I was just under this anxiety to know more and perhaps ask one of you experts.
I haven't practiced on full length tests as I'm saving them for later date when I actually take a date.
Right now I am just going through each and every topic of this site very thoroughly so as to make myself well acquainted with the material and type of questions GMAT will throw at me.
Once I'm through and confident, I will take the date and do the tests over mba.com and buy full length tests on gmatclub to get better at my timings.
But do mind I still use a timer on these practice questions and am doing well.
Thankyou for your time, much appreciated.
