Are these questions from the GMAT Prep software?

Question

Hi,

I recently downloaded a super comprehensive list of CR questions. I've looked at some 20 odd questions so far and they seem pretty well written. My issue is that I'm yet to take all GMAT Prep mock tests and I don't wan't my scores to get inflated when I do take the tests.

I'd really appreciate if someone could look at the attachment here and point out, whether the questions are infact from the GMAT Prep software.

Thanks,
Sourav

Some, possibly many, of these appear to not be GMAT questions. There are some LSAT questions and some from other tests I'm not familiar with. I'd be cautious using them to study for the GMAT, unless you're extremely familiar with GMAT critical reasoning and can judge whether a question is 'GMAT-like' as you solve it.

Hi Sourav700,

While it's understandable that you might be interested in this type of document, you've noted one of the BIG potential dangers in using it: you could very well be working through a bunch of questions that are from practice CATs/mocks that you have NOT taken yet. By extension, working on these questions now means that you will likely remember them later on - when/if they show up on a CAT. Seeing even a few 'repeat' questions on a CAT can 'throw off' the Scoring Algorithm and impact your pacing, energy levels, fatigue, etc. (meaning that they would likely all appear to be better than they actually are). In simple terms, you might be ruining a bunch of future practice CATs just to save a little money by working through this list of questions. That is a TERRIBLE risk and not one that I would recommend.

You can find plenty of realistic practice questions from other sources (that won't force you to question whether you'll see those prompts again later on a CAT), so I suggest that you look for practice materials elsewhere.
