Hi
I just wanted to know if patterns in GMAT get repeated.
I mean conceptually the same type of question with changes in numbers or other such minor variations?

Yes -- there are certain core question types that you will see over and over again -- worded slightly differently. Usually it's not worded exactly the same with numbers changed -- the context and exact wording may be different, but the underlying concept is the same.
For example, you might see the typical distance/rate/time question with trains. In one situation, trains are moving away from each other. In another situation, they are moving towards each other. In another situation, they are moving perpendicular to each other -- each with different rates --- or maybe even delayed start times. But the underlying concept is the same -- two things moving relative to each other.
In our course material - we cover such variations and believe this approach is the best to really understand a core question -- so that when you see these "recycled" questions with variations from the core -- you still know what to do.

Hi,
To be honest, I cannot say it is definite yes or no. This is because the GMAT is 100% adaptive. As you take it, it styles itself in direct correlation to how you answer the questions in addition to what you got right and wrong. Therefore, if you do poorly on one question, the test may adapt and provide similar questions to continue and test you on that topic. While I know this is vague, it is true. The GMAT is different for each person because of this adaptive aspect, so as far as repeats, it all depends on your performance at the moment of the test. I hope this helps provide a little clarity to your question. Good luck!
