I have noticed that a lot of the math ones I am seeing on many practice test and have read that on the test itself they also use ones directly from the Guide, is this true also for the Verbal section, or is there more variation?

Thanks!

There should be no overlap between questions you see in OG and the questions you see on the actual GMAT. It is quite possible, however, that you will see questions that are very similar to OG on the actual GMAT, but they will never be the same. I found this to be the case when I took the GMAT.

This is true for both the math and verbal sections. Have you heard otherwise for the math section?

"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."
