I took my first official GMAT Prep Test and found that some of the questions had appeared in some of my prep books. I have several different books from different publishers. Therefore, it is hard to tell where I had seen these problems before. However, I know that 2 of them had been used in the Veritas GMAT books.

Do you know if Veritas borrows a lot of the GMAT questions used on the official GMAT Prep Test ? How about any other books other than Veritas ?

I am wondering about this, because I haven't taken the second official GMAT Prep test yet, and I do not want to know some of the questions and get a better score because of that.

Which books do you recommend in terms of the claims made above? (oh my gosh ... this sounds like a critical reason question ;p)

Thanks

The only book that should have the same questions would be OG. GMAC doesn't license its questions to anybody. I doubt the same exact questions were in Veritas, otherwise Veritas would get sued faster than...

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
