Is GMAT Focus Harder Than Official Mocks?

The GMAT Focus exam can feel harder than the official mocks, but that’s mostly because of test-day pressure, not the actual difficulty level. The official mocks from GMAC are pretty close in format and question style to the real test. What throws people off is the shorter time frame and less time per question on the real thing—you get fewer questions, but each one carries more weight.

Also, on test day, you don’t get to skip or flag questions, which adds pressure. That alone can make the real exam feel more intense than the mocks. But in terms of question type and difficulty, they’re fairly aligned. If your mock scores are consistent, your actual score shouldn’t be far off—unless stress gets in the way.
