Milkachaco,
in response to your question, I literally saw 2 questions (1 math and 1 verbal) that were worded identically to those that I saw in the OG. Then I saw 3 or 4 more that were realy close to problems I had done before, so much so that I didn't really have to read the question or think about the process involved.

The math section is very "CAT." That is, the better you are actually doing, the worse you will probably feel about it. The first 2 questions were real easy (like what you would see on the first couple pages of the OG). Then I got one strange geometry problem that I probably blew 7 minutes on. By about the 10th question, the level of diffulty seemed to be established and remained consistent throughout. I can't really say much about the CAt on the verbal. Pretty normal. Short reading passages, but 3 of them were science, which took a lot of re-reading.

Dileepsh,
Sorry but I can't post the questions from Deltacourse. They aren't formatted correctly, and it would also benefit you to use their program because it simulates a test environment.

Aaragon,
I'm really hoping for Harvard or Wharton, but the GMAT's only part of the equation so I still have a lot of stuff to do. Where are you guys looking?
