Help, where can I find these questions?

Question

So I understand the best two sources for questions are the OG and GMAT Prep. I have a few questions, and if someone could answer them I would be very grateful!

1) Are all the GMAT OG questions that are on CJ website, all the OG questions that are out there? Or would I need to buy some of the books?

2) I understand there are 2 GMAT prep tests for free, which have in total around 1500 questions. Is there any place to access all those 1500 questions without taking the 2 free tests multiple times?

3) Of the GMAT Prep tests (3,4,5 and 6), does one need to pay for them in order to access the questions or are they available online. Also how many total questions do the 4 tests have combined. I know the tests 1 and 2 have 1500 questions, does that mean tests 3,4,5,6 might have 3000 additional questions. Where would one access these questions?

4) Then there is the GMAT prep official practice questions banks 1 and 2 which have over 350 questions each. Do these questions overlap with the ones in the 6 GMAT prep tests or the OG material? Does one need to purchase the 2 banks in order to access the questions or are they also online somewhere?

5) I know CJ has 4000 verbal and 3800 questions from official sources. (OG and prep) on his website, do these questions encompass all the above?

Many thanks for any help!!

I am not too familiar with CJ's website so I can't comment on that but you should focus on preparing rather than questions. Having even the OG with 1,000 questions should be ENOUGH for a person who is prepared otherwise you are repeating the same thing over and over and over. That makes your head hurt and probably not remember the important things. I took my GMAT without the OG even (as a proof that it is possible to get a good score without the OG, though I do not recommend it)

You can search for the free GMAT Prep questions. there are collections of them posted by users in one topic Tests 3&4 and 5&6 have 250 questions each. It is a much smaller choice of questions. The additional question banks do not overlap with the latest OG's or the GMAT Prep questions but most of them are from older Official Guides. But again, as a new user you should not be too concerned with these things. Normal person would buy the Official Guide and get the free and paid tests and not really worry about the details. There is no value

You can sort by material, difficulty and topic and it will be more than what you can find on CJ

Hi mountainbear,

It sounds like you're just starting out. Is that true? Have you done any studying so far? From what you are asking about, you have to be careful about confusing "quantity" of study with "quality" of study. You do NOT need to work through 7000+ GMAT questions to score at a high level on this Test - and attempting to work through that much study material on your own would likely just reinforce a number of 'bad habits' that will keep you from scoring at the higher levels (and 'waste' a bunch of high-quality study material).

If you're just beginning, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can access 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a bit of practice first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the general content and question types first, then that's fine - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi mountainbear,

I have a very important question. Is there a particular reason as to why you are looking to extract questions from the official practice exams rather than actually taking the practice exams? Also, are you just starting out with your GMAT prep?
