I am trying to determine the difficult ranges on the OG 12th edition for Problem Solving, Data Sufficiency, Critical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Sentence Correction. For example, in problem solving there are 230 problems, what is the break for 400 level problems, to 500, to 600, to 700, and 700+. I know there is not an exact score associated with each problem, I am just trying to determine the splits so I know which problems are in the specific difficulty range. Ideally I am looking for the splits for all the problems for each section if possible.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best,

Paul

The closest I can reasonably get is to split the problems into "first third," "middle third," and "last third." The first third are generally sub-600 (some really far below, some a little below). The last third are generally 650+ (some far above, some a little above). The ones in the middle are... generally in the middle. :)

As a general rule, start with problems in the middle third. If a certain type (eg, geometry) is too hard, move to "first third" problems of the same type. If they're too easy, move to "last third" problems of the same type.

Also, RC doesn't follow that so much because the questions are organized according to passage.
