I second that. You may however, get some very similiar questions with only slight rewordings.

My colleague told me that 2 of his AWA were familiar to him from paper test downloaded from https://www.mba.com. Also he told me that about 5% of questions on GMAT were from this paper tests.

Somewhere on this forum I read that people recognized up to 3-4 questions in Verbal section from OG.

I’m interesting – how many questions from 1000 SC RC CR list can be found in real GMAT now.


The more you practise :boxer with OG, the more questions will look familiar. GMAT tests only finite number of concepts. It is also worth mentioning that GMAT has some favorite RC topics: a) scientific discoveries related to ice age /Astro-physics / molecular biology b) affirmative actions c) business /social issues related to minorities (Hispanics, women, African Americans) d) topics involving recent archaeological /Anthropological discoveries. You will find similar RCs in OG 10 & 11.

Do not expect any known question and do visit this forum as often as you can for unfamiliar, bizarre, weird questions. It will teach you only a thing or two but more importantly, it will increase your confidence level.

I think the concepts behind OG and 1000s are very important. Once you are through with the concepts most of the questions start looking familier.

- from my own experience.
