Repeated questions between the GMAT Club/Manhattan and OG Mocks?

Thank you, I will keep this in mind while solving practice questions. GmatKnightTutor



I normally select only OG questions since the source is verified. PrathameshRaj112

Hi rohan3993,

Considering you mentioned that anxiety and time management are issues for you, here are a few great articles you can check out:

How to Eliminate GMAT Test-Day Anxiety

Timing Strategies For a Higher GMAT Quant Score

Thank you ScottTargetTestPrep. Both articles provided valuable information.

Anyone who spends a lot of time on the forum is likely to see familiar questions on the GMAT practice test. To ensure that the test taker is comfortable with the GMAT language, test prep companies do frame questions very similar to official questions. Also, one would have run into many actual official practice test questions so some are bound to be 'repeats' so to say. You will likely see some repeats in Practice tests 5 and 6 too though fewer, I would say.

Instead of focusing on the score you get from practice tests, focus on figuring out your weaknesses and on time management. Even if you know the answer to a particular question on the practice test, solve it fully. You will develop time management skills. Evaluate the test very well after taking it and figure out the topics in which you need to work more. Then work on them. Don't worry too much about your scores in these tests. They have important things to teach you and you should focus on those. Here's a post from my blog which you will likely find useful:

Also, get your ESR. It could be very useful (though not necessarily). If your section score is very low in places and quite high in others, that could help you figure out what to focus on.

Hi KarishmaB, thanks for the advice. In your article you mentioned taking Veritas Prep tests for practice, do you recommend them over the other tests available?

I need to update that article! Veritas tests are not available anymore. When they were available, they were quite reliable. They did a good job of helping you figure out your weaknesses.

As for other prep company tests, I have not evaluated them personally so I cannot comment. We do have 6 official practice tests available these days and taken twice, I think they serve the purpose quite well.

Just FYI - you can reset tests one and two several times and take them about repeating questions. You cannot do that however to the Tests three, four, five and six. They only have enough questions for a single test and not one question more.

Also it seems the OP has already taken the official test and ran into repeat issues…

The only other recommendation would be to try the new GMAT focus practice test. They have brand new questions. The Quant score should be somewhat accurate and verbal score is a little tricky to tell because it will not contain any sentence correction questions… but if there’s nothing else, you can try these or Experts Global mocks should be also decent… you should be able to take one for free I believe.

Hi bb,

Thanks for the response.

I was planning on registering for the GMAT Club tests for added practice. I noticed the GMAT Club tests have a fixed set of practice questions. If I were to solve all the sectional Quant and Verbal tests, would I face an issue with repeat questions during the Full Adaptive tests? I want to make the most out of the practice tests.
