You are right. GMAC updates the real question pool for GMAT all the time. Though our computer adaptive tests are similar to the real GMAT, only GMAC has the ownership of real questions. So check out the latest 12th edition of official guide. That contains the most recently retired question pool of 300 problems. Focus on data sufficiency, focus on business and social science related articles for reading comprehension, focus on inference questions in critical reasoning...practice and time yourself...you will be prepared for any unexpected changes on the real test.

Is this booklet and ink pen similar to the real GMAT test plastic scratchpad and ink pen?

The answer is a resounding YES. The size, number of pages, and the materials used for the booklet are identical. The ink pen is EXACTLY the same.

Should you spend the money on this booklet and ink pen? After all, do you REALLY need a simulation scratchpad and ink pen for GMAT?

In my opinion, yes. Unfortunately, the GMAT scratchpad and ink pen takes some getting used to. The scratchpad is plastic and the ink pen does not write as precisely on the scratchpad as it does on paper. Trust me, the last thing you need is learning to use the ink pen and the scratchpad during the actual GMAT. Do not assume practicing on paper is a perfect substitute.
