Many people have tried them.

They are very old retired questions and you're likely to see some of them in other materials (older versions of OG, PowerPrep, etc.).

That being said, they have some value as they are real retired questions from tests.

when something is giving you download times for a 28.8K modem, you have to figure they're a bit outdated...

That being said, I haven't used these, but do see value to them... I would question the accuracy of the score, since its an outdated method. Also, the lack of answer explanations bothers me. Although I'm sure they're useful, personally I feel there is too much content out there with answer explanations to bother with a more primitive test. Although, if you have used up all of your questions in the OG and other official guides, and are looking for real retired questions, I guess this is a good resource.

I cannot add much to what has already been stated, but highwyre237 makes an interesting point. Any legitimate GMAT question material is welcome, but the three OG books and the GMATPrep software should be more than enough. The OG is essential, but certainly not the only source for questions. GMATClub tests, Jeff Sackmann's math sets, and LSAT compilations also offer high-quality problem practice.
