Thoughts on quant from bigbook?

Searched the entire sub for getting a sense of the general consensus of the quant questions from the big book. It feels like there is a mixed consensus, some says these are very easy, some says these are good practices for easy-medium questions.

I actually need some suggestions whether doing them would be beneficial to tackle easy to medium questions.

Since the first section of the modern gre has 12 questions and the difficulty level of these 12 questions vary from 1 to 4, will It help to do the quant questions from bigbook especially question no 11 to 15 and 26 to 30 since these ones were solved correctly by low percentages of people? Within a timed limit?

I have been coursing through them, I can see that few questions such as geometry ones are comparable to medium to hard level questions from the official guide.

My target is to have complete 100% accuracy and mastery over easy and medium questions so that I can hit 12/12.

I attempted 12 questions twice from the 27th test and got 12/12 twice in a timed manner. But I did find 1-2 problems worth revisiting again in the future.

Watched prepswift’s co-ordinate geometry module. Everything felt easy to absorb until the topics of graphing absolute values and quadratic within this came.

Really looking forward to some possible sources where these topics are explored more easily or broken down into more easier way.

Do anyone know some alternative sources that are “more easily digestible”?

If you had to compare the representativeness of the quant questions from gregmat and manhattan 5lb in comparison to the actual questions of the GRE, how close they are?

I have done Manhattan 5lb. Except for statistics chapter and geometry chapter I find rest of the chapter s quite easy. Is it really representative of the actual thing? Also how close are the questions from bigbook and gregmat?

I really need a fixed source to keep doing some problems while accumulating my mistakes.
