How hard are the Quant problems in the actual test (someone who has given the test and scored 160+) ?
By hard, I’m assuming you’re referring to the level 4 and 5 questions on the GRE
This is an estimate of how many people get the different levels correct (I don’t have ETS data so this is a estimate based on research with assumptions)
- Level 1 (Very Easy):
85–95% of test-takers get these questions correct.
These are basic questions designed to assess fundamental skills.
- Level 2 (Easy):
70–85% of test-takers answer these correctly.
Errors at this level may occur due to carelessness or lack of basic preparation.
- Level 3 (Moderate):
50–70% of test-takers answer these correctly.
These questions represent the average difficulty level on the GRE and are widely seen in the first section.
- Level 4 (Hard):
30–50% of test-takers answer these correctly.
These questions require a solid grasp of advanced concepts and careful problem-solving.
- Level 5 (Very Hard):
20-30% of test-takers answer these correctly.
These are challenging questions, often designed to distinguish top performers (165+ scorers).
If you look at the Quant Problems on our website, you can correlate these percentages with what previous test-takers attempts have achieved on those specific questions to get a sense of what those difficulties correlate to
okay, so if I am scoring 12-13 on 15 in hard timed quizzes, can I expect such questions on the real test?
Can you clarify what you mean by such questions;
If you’re asking if the difficulty of the hard timed sections on Gregmat will correlate with the hard second section on the test.
To a pretty good extent yes, that’s what those are built to do
ETS will always be ETS in the end, so where you can, ensure you get accustomed to ETS type questions (Official guide, Power Prep Tests)
