Kaplan's practice exams/questions - blue book vs practice book

[chb64]

So Kaplan has a few books for the OAT:

Kaplan's "big blue book" (the one you can only get from taking the course)

Kaplan's Content Review book (~900 pages) --> is this the same as the big blue book? (it also has 2 practice exams)
(amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Kaplan-OAT/dp/1609781090 )

Kaplan's Practice Exams book (the one with 2 full practice exams)
http://www.amazon.com/Kaplan-OAT-2009-2010-Edition/dp/1419552864

I'm wondering if the questions are the same from the big blue book to the Content review book? And how different are they?

Also, I'm not sure if getting a 2005 Blue book is a good idea, since its quite old.

I have the 5th edition Comprehensive Review book (the 900 page one). A friend of mine is doing the Kaplan course and I can definitely verify that it is EXACTLY the same. The cover is different, but everything else is the same.

cafeda (i think that's the poster's username) posted a preview of the Kaplan 2 full test book that shows THE WHOLE THING (http://books.google.com/books?id=jlZdqqH6-xwC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false).
I thumbed through the Bio section and there are some repeat questions, but not enough to get that upset about.

thanks dylennon! Does anyone know where or how I can take a loot at the kaplan's comprehensive review book's table of contents. I wanted to compare it with the 2005 edition of the blue book as I'm worried it might be missing stuff!

Here you go! I took them with the camera on my phone, so I can scan them if you'd prefer.
