Re: Easy, Medium and Hard questions on the test [#permalink]
to quote the Magoosh GRE Book:

<<The answer differs depending on how difficult the question is. Think of it this way. There are easy
questions, medium questions, and difficult questions. Easy questions should take between 45
seconds and 1 minute. Medium questions should take between 1:00 – 2:00. And difficult questions
should take no longer than 3 minutes.The ratio of easy, medium, and difficult questions vary per
section but in general you can expect to see a smattering of each.On the easy section, the ratio
will skew towards easy; in the difficult section that ratio will skew towards difficult.

>>

What I was asking myself: what is the ration of easy:medium:hard questions for each section difficulty, according to your experiences and knowledge.

Only ETS could answer to your question, specifically.

I would worry more about to practice and study hard than "how" the test works.

I see a lot of GMAT students think about this and other arcane questions on how the test works or measures their skills. They are unuseful questions, in my opinion. :wink:

Re: Easy, Medium and Hard questions on the test [#permalink]
I have studied already (3 months or so, give or take).
To know this is helpful in the sense that if the you know how the levels of difficulty differ a lot or only insignificantly.
E.g. improving the ability to answer "hard" questions on Verbal is only possible to a limited degree in a given time for a non-native speaker, whereas Q-section questions less dependent of previous knowledge than the V-section IMO.
