Verbal: "Hard" are easier than the "easy" : Magoosh

I've noticed that I tend to get "hard" verbal practice questions right significantly more often than "easy" questions, and I am wondering if anyone has opinions about why that is. I've studied about 30 hours in the last year and a half.

Maybe you don't pay attention to the fullest, approach problems with negligence, and pick answer hurriedly to save time while attempting more straightforward questions.

Hi,

It may be because English is your first language. Is there any other query?

In actual test you would get nearly half the questions of 700+ level. So, in any case, easy and medium questions would be fewer, unless you totally screw your test which, given that you are native speaker, is unlikely.

Difficulty of a real past gmat question is determined by the percentage of test takers who got right answer on it in real testing environment. The lower the percentage who answered correctly, the more likely such question to be classified as hard.

Perhaps, you are more mentally alert on questions (known to be) classified as hard than on those classified as easy. Sometimes, I feel that way in a few OG hard questions, especially on Sentence Correction.
