GRE questions are not repeated in the actual test. Test is adaptive, meaning questions you receive are based on your performance. You will not find the exact same questions from practice materials or previous test-takers, even if you take multiple practice test.

No, you will not able to find any GRE exam question paper. The Graduate Record Examinations is a computer adaptive test. It uses a secure question bank, so it is really impossible that you find exact past papers, as it is not publicly released. Instead, the ETS provides sample question papers and practice tests on the official website, that reflect actual test format and difficulty.
