Recent reports from test takers show that most people see 4 passages on test day, with 4 questions on each of the first 2 passages and 3 questions on each of the last 2 passages. It's possible that you'll only see 3 passages on test day, in which case one of your passages may have 5 questions.

However, even though you'll only see 3-5 questions per passage, each passage actually has a pretty big pool of questions (so the test can continue to adapt to your performance). Most (if not all) of those questions appear in the OG.

"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."
