Do Questions Repeat Between GMAT Prep Classic and GMAT Prep Focus Ed.

Question

Dear Experts,

Wanted to check if the questions from the GMAT Classic Official Mock Tests (GMAT Prep) repeat in the Official Mock Tests designed for the GMAT Focus Edition. I am planning to attempt the questions from the classic mock test to get the exposure to a larger Official Questions. Wanted to check to check whether it would be a good idea to do so. I don't want to affect or inflate my Focus Mock scores, hence the ask.

Few to no questions from the classic GMAT practice tests appear on the Focus Edition practice tests. So, practicing using the questions from the classic edition practice tests is a great idea.

Thank you for your response Marty. Wanted to check if the above information is also true for both the paid and the free Official Mocks of G.F.E.

MartyMurray · Answer

Yes, it's true for both.

Hi GMATCenturion,

I agree with MartyMurray. Although we'll get a better idea about this as more people take these tests (and we see more of the pool), the verbal questions I've seen do seem to be different/new.

Hi  GMATCenturion ,

Good question. As far as I can tell, all of the ~1,000  free  and  paid  questions from the 6 official GMAT Focus practice exams are new and unique to the GMAT Focus Edition.

However, I have discovered that the ~300  Official Practice Questions for Quant, Verbal and DI  are mostly (entirely?) recycled old GMAT questions that can already be found on GMAT Club.

This is unfortunately also true of all 4 books in the O.G. 2023-24 (all recycled questions, except for the recently added  "verbal" aka "logic-based" DS questions ).

Good luck,

-Brian

Hi  GMATCenturion ,

I agree that it certainly can't hurt to practice questions from classic GMAT practice tests, since those won't be repeated in the new GFE practice exams.
