which one is the real GMAT???
Just decided to study for GMAT today so I went to mba.com and downloaded the software gmatprep and took a practice exam. Bombed it with a 630. I said to myself fine gotta study harder so I went out and bought the official guide book 11th edition.
I flipped through the pages and noticed that the math questions are nothing like the ones from the gmatprep software. The book questions are all straight forward like the SAT questions. The comp generated ones were all like "A. Statement 1 is sufficient. B. Statement 2 is sufficient. C. Either. D. Neither."... Now I'm very confused.
Which is the real type that will appear on the exam?
Not all questions are data sufficiency, like you described above, but they are certainly a significant portion of the math section of the test.

both are real. the CAT exam you downloaded is pretty representative of the difficulty of the real GMAT.
the book has all real questions too, but they are ordered from easy to difficult, so there's little point in doing the first couple hundred.
