SOA sample questions overlap?

Is there an overlap between the sample questions and the last 4 M exams given out? I want some orginal official exams to practice to see where i would score and i dont want to mess that up by practice problems taht are gonna be the same as on the exam. Thanks

I'm pretty sure there is some overlap. I was actually just thinking to myself today that it would be nice if they told us from which exam a question came (if it was ever on a published exam).

i remember from my studying for M in november that someone had made and posted a spreadsheet with the problem breakdown for the sample questions. There definitely is overlap, but not with the 2005 exams. In other words, the sample questions are taken from Course 3's from 2000-2004. Search the forum for a bit for the spreadsheet.

the spreadsheat is attached to a post near the end of the stickied thread on excluded past exam questions in this forum
