"Tough" questions from GMAT 800

I saw a number of positive reviews for the sample questions from the Kaplan GMAT 800 book (now Kaplan GMAT Advanced).  Not a problem, just got a copy for myself, and went through it.

To avoid confusion, I completed only Critical Reasoning part of it.  However, making in average 75% of correct answers (1 mistake in every 4 questions set), I got some serious doubts about extraordinary type of questions there.  

They are good, but not much more.  

On the other note, format of the book is really weird.  I don't like it.  I believe the willingness to do a guidebook drove them to such a style, but it doesn't help at all.  I'd prefer something closer to a "classic" approach, when I clearly have a set of questions to work through, and the answers to clearly state correct answer, but not looking for it in the several blocks of explanations.

Done with Critical Reasoning

Okay, done with the last 42 questions, too. Score is very modest, it's in the low 80%.

The next one is Sentence Correction part of 113 questions. I am planning to complete this in two days, but more likely, it'll take three. :)

After this the quantitive once again, getting back to essays and verbal, and then full-throttle into full-size sample exams.
