how do I test specific areas with OG?

If I realize that Word Translation Problems are a weakness, how do I find/set up specific sets of OG problems to do for just Word Translations?

Are you referring only to the specific question types that ManhattanGMAT classifies as Word Translations in the 4th edition strategy guides? Or are you referring to wordy questions in general that require translation from words to math (which can also be fractions, percents, algebra, etc)?

If the former, then the Word Translations book includes a list of OG problems that fall into each category, by chapter.

If the latter, open up the book and start looking for "a paragraph of words" problems as opposed to "mostly numbers" problems. :)

Also, you may want to look at this for some additional ideas:
