    As you know, we recommend that you solve OG questions at the right time after reviewing a certain set of concepts and solving the prescribed application and practice files. You may find the list of OG Questions to be attempted at the appropriate time in the course itself. Simply look for the file that has “OG Quiz/ Official questions” in its name. Furthermore, please DO NOT leave OG questions till the end.

    The solutions are available for some of the official verbal questions. Some of you might even remember the answers to these questions.
    Even after that, we recommend that you solve the questions on your own using the standard process and then review the solutions for the applicable questions by clicking on the provided link (if the solution is available). 
    Remember, thorough review after solving questions is the key to mastering the process of solving questions.
  10. Is there any difference between OG13 and OG 2015?
