Thanks for answering my question. Appreciate it!

I appreciate your feedback. I am very new to this whole GRE thing, but I do understand memorizing one sample test is no big deal. Of course I have memorized several more since then. But my question is not really on my ability to memorize GRE questions. But are the practice questions identical to the test questions. I am assuming there is probably so many of them that you couldn't possible remember or view every test question. I guess what I'm trying to find out is, has anyone saw the same questions on the real test that they took during their practice test?

I am a junior and I want to start studying for GRE. I think I'm going to use Powerprep. My question is, are the practice test questions on powerprep identical to the actual questions you take on the test? The reason I ask is this because, I have a good memory which is good, but also can work against me because on the comprehensive and quantitative, I start memorizing the answer to the question, instead of really knowing them. So if the test questions are not identical to the practice test, then obviously my ability to memorize answers won't help me at all. Memorization should help me on the vocabulary section, but definitely not on any other section since I won't really know how to come up the answer myself if I don't recognize the question. It's not that I'm lazy or stupid for that matter. But I took the practice test and I checked the answers on the ones I got wrong and retook the test and just after one viewing I knew the right answer to pick. So it's not like I'm purposely trying to go this route, but if it can help me get high scores, then I won't fight it. Appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
