Got 650.Redoing. Need OG Questions but in Africa!!!!!

Hi All
Have just done GMAT got 650 (39V-87%, 41Q-60%) but really feel I need over 70th Percentile in Quant as have my heart set on INSEAD.
Got 730 in GMAT Prep test with 48 in Quant.

Problem is I live and work in Africa and do not have OG questions. I am redoing on 11th September. On test day I found many questions that I was not at all familiar with. I did at least 8 practice tests but questions were very different.

Is there anyway I can pay and download an OG with answers? Does anyone have a link? This is where I feet all my problems lay.

I am only focusing on Quant if not possible to get OG online do you guys have any other advice on how to become more familiar with GMAC questions?

Many thanks in advance and best of luck to all.

Guy in Malawi

They should sell the books in Malawi, have you checked the local book stores or probably check book stores that cater to the wealthy or students?
Note that the books offered may not be the current edition, but that doesn't necessarily matter. I have the OG11 and I prefer it to OG 12 because of the way the questions are arranged, in terms of difficulty level, and they repeat most of the questions. When I went to Nigeria some years back, several book stores had the GMAT book for sale because people there also sit for the GMAT exam, so hopefully the same would apply to Malawi.
In case you still unable to purchase the book, go to your test center, someone there could give you an answer to your problem.
And in regards to your main question, GMAC has not produced any GMAT book in a digital format, so you won't be able to find a copy to download online.
But while you search for questions similar to the GMAT itself, keep reseting your GMATprep software many of the questions would change which should give you extra practice (those are the best representatives of what to expect on the exam day). Also, the software allows you to review additional problems similar to what you'll find in the GMAT test itself, so that should give you an inkling as to what to expect when you sit for the exam.

Also check out the PowerPrep software, this is the older version of the GMATprep, also created by GMAC. There are also a number of free practice test to help you get used to the test format (go to https://www.beatthegmat.com/a/resources#linkcat-61 )
Good luck!
