If you take say the GMAT prep test 1. When you take test 2 will you get any repeat questions? Is the question bank different for the two test?

Same thing for the Manhattan GMAT. Are there separate question banks for the six test?
Thanks

The first time you take GMAT Prep 1 and 2, you will see NO repeat questions. Tests 1 and 2 pull from different question pools. Any retakes after that, however, you will likely see some retakes from your first test when you retake Test 1, and from your second test when you retake Test 2.

As for MGMAT, they offer 6 CATs, and you won't start seeing repeats until you've done all six. However, once you have done all 6 I've found that (especially in verbal) if you retake the tests, you see close to 100% repeats.
