OG Questions Appearing on Actual Exam?

by jaydeer44 Mon May 05, 2008 10:58 pm

Has anyone seen EXACT same questions from the Official Guide appear on the actual exam recently? I read on some older posts that test takers have seen OG questions show up on the actual exam, but was wondering if this no longer happens..

I'm wondering this to see if I should take the time to go over every single question in my official guide in case it comes up on the exam..

The last time a student told me he'd seen an OG question on the official exam was about 2 years ago. Before that, I'd usually hear about this happening to someone maybe once a year. So I don't know if they're still showing up there.

There are 1,400 questions in the three official guide books, plus another maybe 300 or so in OG10 that don't appear in the 11th edition books. Unless you've got a photographic memory, I wouldn't recommend taking the time to memorize them on the very unlikely chance that one might show up on the official test. :)
