Hi nova native,
I would say from a practice point of view to take each of the GMATPrep tests no more than three times. The scores would be biased on the second and third attempt, but still excellent practice.
Now as far as being able to see all the questions in the database that would need more attempts. There are around roughly 700 questions in quantitative sections of the two practice tests, and to see all of them would require you to deliberately perform at different levels during different attempts. Instead, a much better idea would be to go through all the questions tagged with GMATPrep on this forum. The only problem is that they are not separated by test1 and test2 tags, this may not necessary be an issue for you. Or you could access the segmentation by topics/subtopics/test on my site.
I hope this makes sense.

How many times would you have to take the GMATPrep tests to end up knowing that every question or most questions are repeats?
Okay, thanks for the tip.
I ended up taking GMATPrep test 1 three times and I noticed about five questions were repeats for verbal, maybe two or three for quant. In the quant section, there are only so many ways to disguise the same problem which I'm sure the test makers know about already. As for the verbal section, right answers can be memorized which could inflate the score.
Granted, I took a new Manhattan test and ended up with a stellar verbal score of 45 (never broke 40 ever, though I hit many 37's and 38's in previous tests). I will concede that I got lucky to get a 45 because a couple good guesses went my way to make it happen, but hopefully that translates on test day on Friday. The math score dropped a bit but there, I also got a bit unlucky with some question types I just don't do well on.
