No. The questions you find now are retired questions that are no longer used.

the sad part is that i'm pretty sure that the gmat guys check out this website frequently so that they know what kind of questions not to include on their real test. :( that's so unfair considering the fact that we are studying way too hard in order to do well.

I encountered one quantitiative question - the very first one! - that I had seen on the actual GMAT on my previous attempt, approximately a year prior. Threw me a little. Knew the answer, but still. Also I did encounter one SC I had seen before, somewhere in the OG, or MGMAT books... but all the rest of the questions, forget it. Hadn't seen ANY of them.

That seems out there and I highly doubt they waste their time doing that. At most they keep track of websites like this to make sure people arent posting questions they were asked. If you do that they will try to find out who you really are and will void all your scores and ban you from taking the GMAT ever again.

I do remember one question in the CR that was similar to the Gortland problem with grain and meats/ exporting importing etc (ring any bells yet). In fact the CR passage was the exact same.

However, the question was different as well as the answer choices
