This might have been asked previously but:
Is it me or is the wording of questions in the OG and GMAT Prep at times somewhat different than what you get even from popular test makers?
I have done quite a few CR questions and it seems the GMAT folks have a "lovely" (for the lack of a better word) way of wording and asking CR/SC questions. In fact I've noticed my accuracy with the official questions is higher than my accuracy with the questions from test making companies. Anyone else feel this way?

Me too. The official verbal questions certainly have some subtle traps that i usually fail noticing under certain conditions!

pashk - You are correct here. Even I have noticed that the official questions are more trickily framed when we compare them to the ones made by test prep companies. I see that the official questions are quite succinct and convey more meaning in less words and this is why, when read in haste, we tend to make mistakes on them.
Well, I would not say that I have a better accuracy on official verbal questions because I never compared my accuracy on official V test prep. But, definitely I fall in traps whenever I see new questions from the Official Bank.
