I don't believe you'll find any questions on the GMATPrep practice tests that are also in the Official Guides.
To be 100% certain, you might repost your question in the Ask the Test Maker forum: https://www.beatthegmat.com/ask-the-test-maker-f71.html

Cheers,

Hello, Skory! I'm happy to answer that for you. All OG13 questions, with the exception of the IR questions, are from retired GMAT exams. So they should be very similar to what you can expect to see on the exam. The IR questions were created by the same team that created the IR questions used in the exam and were used in beta versions of the exam.

Brent is correct that there is no overlap between questions used in GMATPrep and questions in OG13. The scoring algorithm used by GMATPrep is the same one used by the exam. I hope that helps!

Hello Rebecca!!
I beg to differ here, as I have encountered questions that are overlap in GMATPrep Question Bank and in OG13.
If you want I can provide examples; however, I am not much concerned about it. I just thought of sharing the information.

Thanks!!

Would you mind sharing with me which questions are duplicates? I just confirmed with our products department that you should not be seeing duplicate questions in GMATPrep and OG13. You can post here or send along to [email protected]. Please include page numbers for OG13.

Sure Rebecca!!
I will need some time to recollect and consolidate, and right now I am at peak level of my GMAT preparation as exam date is nearby. Will it be fine if I provide details later on?

Thanks!!
