Are the questions in the gmatprep question pack outdated/less common?

People often recommend doing 'recent' gmat questions as they are more likely to come out in the GMAT. The gmatprep pack came out 3 years ago and I'd like to hear people's opinions on whether the questions are worth going through or if the concepts tested there will be less occurrent now. I still have 1/2 of the OG's left but the software would save a LOT of time in making problem sets.

Hey Matthias15,
Although the GMAT Prep came out 3 years ago, still it is the only collection of official questions and the best predictor of your preparedness. More often than not, people report the final scores that are inline with their GMAT Prep scores.

Hi Matthias15,
The GMAT is a remarkably consistent and predictable Exam; the last major change was back in 2012 (when the IR section replaced the Issue Essay). The materials, concepts, patterns, logic, etc. in the AWA, Quant and Verbal sections are all essentially the same though, so it sounds like the term 'recent' is being used in relative terms. There is so much available, "recent" material that you really shouldn't have to use anything that's 'too old' (anything that predates 2010, for example) - but to answer your immediate concern - the GMAC material is all high quality, relevant material, so you can (and should) use those resources.
My thumbs up as well to the questions in the GMATPrep Question Pack 1, they are very much relevant to the current GMAT, more so than the official guide, which still has a lot of questions that are taken from the older format, where the average time per question was less than the current average of two minutes.

Thanks for the answers! I got it and the questions are indeed good. Doing a random long set feels kind of like a mini-real GMAT in terms of the question types I would get. The software is also really useful for getting close to replicating a gmat-like experience, compared to doing questions off the book.
However the Reading Comprehension questions are really weird... you can't select by passage! Making them kind of unusable. I think selecting 'show by sequence' fixes this, and I could probably skip to the hard passages which is what I want by skipping the first 50% of the questions or something. If anyone has any insight on other ways to get around this I'd love to hear.
The explanations for quant are a bit overcomplicated too (as with all GMAC explanations), but I always have gmatclub for that
