SC Problems Difficulty Level in Thursday with RON video

by asker Sat Oct 17, 2015 6:19 pm

I found these instruction video pretty clear and helpful in the links as follows
https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/thursdays-with-ron/

I'm just wondering what are the difficulty levels for majority of these questions, both SC and CR ? I guess most of them are 600-700 level?

The reason I asked were:
1. gauge my level since I felt most of them not as challenging as Manhattan SC 700-800 level questions
2. see if I need to spend more time watching on the remaining topics, considering the problems may at the same level of my current scores.

the answer is 'it doesn't matter'.

there's no point in trying to build a strategy around 'difficulty levels', because you won't be able to determine what those are. you should give every problem the same degree of respect.

this is especially true for the verbal section.
pretty much every single verbal problem will be easier for some people, but harder for others.
the 'challenge level' is an aggregate statistic. on an individual level it is basically meaningless.
