If I do drill sets will I end up seeing some of these same exact questions on my practice exams, thus making my practice exams less accurate or realistic?
Yes, you will likely encounter the same questions in your practice exams if you've used them in drills.
Drills pull from a specific PrepTest range depending on your settings. In the "Current format," drills pull from PrepTests 101–130, while the "Obsolete format" draws drill questions from PrepTests 1–45. Newer PrepTests (46 to 94 in the Obsolete, and 131 to 158 in the Current) are reserved exclusively for full-length practice and not included in your drills.
To avoid overlap, I recommend using PTs 130 and above for your full-length practice tests. You can also always use the Advanced Builder or the "Tags and PrepTests" option in the Auto Drill Builder to create custom drills. This allows you to choose exactly which PrepTests to include in your drills.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have other questions.
