Hi How good are the questions in GMAT Focusâ„¢ Online Quantitative Diagnostic Tool and GMAT paper tests found in mba.com. Do these have the questions from the earlier actual GMAT??

Yes, they both have questions retired from GMAT.

The paper based tests have questions from ETS era, that is before Pearson. So, we are talking about questions from late 90s.

Apart from this if you get to know more do let me know.
thanks.

ETS is a company like Pearson Vue. They used to design and conduct GMAT prior to Jan 2006. Now GMAT is conducted by Pearson Vue. ETS still conducts other popular exams like GRE, TOEFL, etc.

I have not tried the paper based tests yet. But have heard on these forums that the GMAT has evolved a lot over the years.

As far as questions making sense goes, some additional practice never hurt anybody.
