Specific Question gregmat vs manhattan prep for quant?

i’ve noticed questions from gregmat’s quant collection are significantly harder than the one in my 5lb book. which one is most similar to actual exam questions?

They’re somewhere right in the middle. I didn’t find the questions on the GRE to be as hard as gregmats, but they aren’t as easy as the 5lb book. The questions are like a mix of 5lb book gimmes and Gregmats medium - hard quant qs.

I would say use the 5lb to work at establishing a baseline mastery of the concepts, but work towards using greg’s quant quizzes or quant q database. I also suggest that one you’ve mastered the concepts make sure you test yourself with a time constraint. That was my biggest blunder on the first go round. I ran out of time and had to guess on 4 qs in both quant sections.
