Dear All,
The questions appearing on the GMAT official mock exams are tagged as "GMAT Prep (Focus)" on GMAT Club. Hence, solving the questions tagged as "GMAT Prep (Focus)" can be counterproductive as doing so can inflate your GMAT official mock scores later on.
Question:
I'd really appreciate if someone could answer this query as this would provide me with a much-needed direction to work upon.
Thanks & regards,
Piyush

Question:
- Do we also need to stay away from questions tagged as "GMAT Prep (Classic)"? Do these questions still appear on the GMAT official mock exams?
- Also, what is the meaning of the questions tagged as "GMAT Paper Tests"? And will it do any harm to solve these questions?
- On the GMAT Club, if I have exhausted all the OG questions, then which sources are the best to practice for each quant, verbal and DI?
I'd really appreciate if someone could answer this query as this would provide me with a much-needed direction to work upon.
Thanks & regards,
Piyush

It’s absolutely fine to practice questions tagged "GMAT Prep (Classic)" or "GMAT Paper Tests."
The GMAT Prep (Classic) questions come from the older version of the exam that was conducted before February 2024, and they don’t repeat in the Focus Edition mock tests, so they’re a safe option if you want extra practice.
The GMAT Paper Tests are even older (from before 1997), but they can still be useful.
Note: GMAT format has changed a bit, for example, geometry and pure arithmetic questions are no longer part of the Focus Edition, so you may want to skip those when practicing.
Overall, both sets are good resources to get more practice and improve your comfort with GMAT-style questions.
For extra practice beyond the Official Guide and these sources, you can also explore other materials: for Quant, the GMAT Club tests and Manhattan resources are excellent options; for Data Insights (DI), resources are limited, but Manhattan is a good place to start; and for Verbal, LSAT practice questions can be helpful.

Hi,
I haven't heard about the "pure arithmetic questions are no longer part of the Focus Edition". Can you please elaborate using some example questions, what are pure arithmetic questions?
