\"2016<\/a>I have been working closely with the publisher of the Official Guide for GMAT Review over the past few weeks, in advance of the June 8 release of the 2016 editions, to help improve the online version of the Official Guides. As with my prior post on the Quantitative Guide<\/a>, I want to give you an overview of how the 2016 GMAT Verbal Official Guide<\/a> differs from the 2015 edition in terms of question difficulty and concepts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sentence Correction \u2013 Difficulty<\/h2>\n

Both the 2015 and 2016 editions of the GMAT Verbal Official Guide contain 113 Sentence Correction questions. But the allocation of question difficulty<\/strong>, as assigned by the GMAC, has noticeably shifted<\/strong>. In particular, the Easy and Medium categories have expanded whereas the Hard category has shrunk. A big portion of these change resulted from the GMAC downgrading 12 questions from Hard difficulty<\/strong> (in the 2015 edition) to Medium<\/strong> (in the 2016 edition). Interestingly, two Hard questions (#70 and #111 in the 2015 edition) have also been downgraded all the way to Easy.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Difficulty<\/strong><\/th>\n2016<\/strong><\/th>\n2015<\/strong><\/th>\nChange<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Medium<\/strong><\/td>\n51<\/td>\n38<\/td>\n+13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Hard<\/strong><\/td>\n31<\/td>\n49<\/td>\n(18)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Total<\/strong><\/td>\n113<\/td>\n113<\/td>\n—<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

A total of 25 brand new questions<\/strong>, which we have never seen before, appear in the 2016 GMAT Verbal Official Guide, with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 9 \/ 13 \/ 3<\/strong>. This is in lieu of 25 questions from the 2015 edition that have been removed, with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 6 \/ 12 \/ 7. Let\u2019s further break down how each of these difficulty categories has changed.<\/p>\n

Sentence Correction – Concepts<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s now consider changes in the concepts of the 25 new (in 2016) and the 25 removed (from 2015) Sentence Correction questions. We have categorized these questions based on the primary grammar concepts that are tested on Sentence Correction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Concept<\/strong><\/th>\n2016<\/strong><\/th>\n2015<\/strong><\/th>\nChange<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Verb Agreement<\/strong><\/td>\n1<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n(2)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Expression & Meaning<\/strong><\/td>\n4<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

Although we cannot draw definite conclusions from this data about question composition on the GMAT, we are surprised by the decrease in verb-related questions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Critical Reasoning – Difficulty<\/h2>\n

Both the 2015 and 2016 editions of the GMAT Verbal Official Guide contain 83 Critical Reasoning questions. The allocation of question difficulty has noticeably shifted away from Medium<\/strong>. A whopping 21 questions (more than 25%) have been assigned a different difficulty level<\/strong>, including four Hard questions (#64, #72, #79, #80 in the 2015 edition) that have been downgraded all the way to Easy.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A total of 25 brand new questions<\/strong>, which we have never seen before, appear in the 2016 GMAT Verbal Official Guide, with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 7 \/ 9 \/ 9<\/strong>. This is in lieu of 25 questions from the 2015 edition that have been removed, with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 6 \/ 14 \/ 5. Let\u2019s further break down how each of these difficulty categories has changed.<\/p>\n

Critical Reasoning – Concepts<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s now consider changes in the concepts of the 25 new (in 2016) and the 25 removed (from 2015) Critical Reasoning questions. We have grouped these questions based on the question type categorization that GMAT Genius uses for Critical Reasoning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Although we cannot draw definite conclusions from this data about question composition on the GMAT, what clearly stands out is the increase in the Complete the Passage<\/strong> category.<\/p>\n

Reading Comprehension – Difficulty<\/h2>\n

The 2016 edition of the GMAT Verbal Official Guide contains 105 Reading Comprehension questions, one more than in the 2015 edition. The allocation of question difficulty has noticeably shifted from Medium to Easy. Surprisingly, 35 questions (over 30%) have swapped difficulty from Medium to Hard or vice versa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Difficulty<\/strong><\/th>\n2016<\/strong><\/th>\n2015<\/strong><\/th>\nChange<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

A total of 26 brand new questions<\/strong>, which we have never seen before, appear in the 2016 GMAT Verbal Official Guide, with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 15 \/ 4 \/ 7<\/strong>. These 26 questions are in 5 new passages with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 3 \/ 1 \/ 1. <\/p>\n

A total of 25 questions have been removed from the 2015 edition, with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 6 \/ 11 \/ 8. This represents 4 passages with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 1 \/ 2 \/ 1. Let\u2019s further break down how each of these difficulty categories has changed.<\/p>\n

Although we cannot draw definite conclusions from this data about question composition on the GMAT, what clearly stands out is the increase in the Inference category and the decrease in the Critical Reasoning<\/strong> category.<\/p>\n

Removed Questions<\/h2>\n

Here is the list of the questions that have been removed from the 2015 edition<\/strong> of the GMAT Verbal Official Guide. We\u2019ll publish a list of the new questions in the 2016 GMAT Verbal Official Guide after it publicly releases.<\/p>\n

Sentence Correction \u2013 25 questions removed:<\/h3>\n

3, 6, 7, 8, 20, 21, 27, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41, 47, 51, 61, 62, 72, 76, 81, 93, 99, 101, 112<\/p>\n

Critical Reasoning \u2013 25 questions removed:<\/h3>\n

4, 7, 16, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 30, 36, 37, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 53, 58, 60, 62, 66, 69, 71, 73, 75<\/p>\n

Reading Comprehension \u2013 25 questions removed:<\/h3>\n

12 to 17, 33 to 38, 56 to 60, 77 to 84<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n

We cannot draw firm conclusions about the GMAC\u2019s intent in making changes to the question composition in the 2016 GMAT Verbal Official Guide. That said, we can observe certain trends and speculate on what those changes may imply.<\/p>\n

By downgrading 14 Hard Sentence Correction questions without upgrading any questions to Hard, the GMAC seems to imply a greater rigor within Sentence Correction<\/strong>. The big shifts in question difficulty within Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension seem to imply that the GMAC is more closely assessing Verbal question difficulty<\/strong> than perhaps it did previously. <\/p>\n

The changes in Sentence Correction concepts are not significant enough for us to reach any conclusions. The increases in the Complete the Passage category for Critical Reasoning and in the Inference category for Reading Comprehension seem to indicate that the GMAC is placing greater emphasis on analytical reasoning skills to solve CR and RC<\/strong> questions. <\/p>\n
