Questions for the verterans, I mined the forum but could not find a definitive answer....

So in the official 2nd edition Verbal Review is the difficulty of each section increasing with increasing problem number or not?

And generally speaking, how difficult do you guys rank the questions?

Thanks so much!

Easier than OG12 in my opinion, and OG 12 is definitely on the easier side than it is in the harder side. Of course, this is an opinion.

Don't know about the ranking, but I think it does get harder. Honestly, I get a certain percentage correct and I hit that percentage whether I am working on the first 20 or last 20 questions.

Yes, the questions are organized in the order of difficulty (states it on the back cover).
And yes, the questions are generally somewhat easy (many feel they don't go as hard as the OG 12 questions).

Hope this helps. Let me know if any other questions.
