Questions labelled 'GMAT prep'

Question

On GMAT club, where are the questions labelled with the tag "GMAT prep" from?
Are these official GMAT questions that appeared on the actual exam in the past? or are these from GMAT official mocks that are available on mba.com?

I want to avoid solving any question that are a part of GMAT official mocks that are available on mba.com so that i do not get any repeats while giving an official mock. Please advise  bb   GMATNinja

Hi palkin904.

Most of the questions labeled "GMAT Prep" are from the official practice tests. The purpose of that labeling is to enable users to avoid ruining the official practice tests for themselves by seeing the questions before they take the official practice tests.

Not using the GMATprep tag is better in that case. A quick note that the GMAT mocks do no provide Official explanations for the questions. You may therefore want to check out the gmatclub threads that discuss the specific questions later on.

Hi  palkin904

The best thing to do would be avoid those with "GMAT Prep" tag to have an unbiased experience in Official mocks.

Hi palkin904,

The practice questions in the forums that are labeled as "GMAT Prep" are typically questions from the 6 Official CATs/mocks. To receive a realistic practice Score when taking any of those 6 Exams, you do NOT want to have answered any of those questions in advance - so it makes sense to avoid those prompts until AFTER you have taken those 6 CATs for the first time. After completing those CATs, then you might choose to go back and work through the additional questions in each of those 'pools' (re: the ones that you did not see when you took the CATs) since they are retired Official questions that once appeared on the actual GMAT.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

As has been said, those questions are from official practice exams. So, since you don't want to see them before doing the GMAT prep practice exams, I'd avoid them.
