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...
