Thank you for your precious feedback.
However, believe me, or not, all the free tests out there almost never reflect the real GRE in terms of quality of contents. Our tests yes. I took, actually, all of them.
Then, if we talk about tests such as those provided by prep companies, probably yes. Our tests certainly have room for improvements.
But two questions (with one with a wrong notation) that invalidate 10 quant tests, I do think is a bit a risk saying that our tests are insufficient.

I had a look at the other free tests, the economist, kaplan and I feel like they are equally deficient. Manhattan was ok, but it had too much emphasis on vocabulary, which was not the case with the ETS tests.
Compared to the GMAT there seems to be a lot of scarcity when it comes to adequate CATs. And GRE is supposed to be the more popular one... how do you explain this?
Your tests could be useful for people unfamiliar with the GRE math. However, the fact that there is a question which requires the use of sin/cos is a major red flag, that the other questions might also not reflect the requiered exam curriculum.
I would suggest you make the tests free and use them as a tool for making the forum more popular as well as polishing the questions and removing the errors. In their current state I wouldn’t pay the price you are asking. Quality is more important than quantity.

Quality over quantity is our cornerstone.
We worked, and still is an ongoing process, on the tests: deprecating, fading out and checking, again and again, the tests. The fact that a question, that is undoubtedly out of context, popped up in front of you could not mean that the whole package does not reflect the quality and most important a real GRE experience.
You are pointing out that a question is at its core trigonometry that is quite a lot not used more in the new GRE. I agree on this, you right. But, as an analogy, using a question as a parameter of the whole package is like using a survey to explain the behavior of an entire population. This is clearly misleading. Take what I am saying in the right perspective.
What about, for instance, of the verbal part ?? I had consulted with several skilled GRE and GMAT tutors and they really praised the effort of the entire test as whole and verbal in particular; we do know that GRE is a test that relies hugely on verbal skills.
That say, Thank you once again for your spot on feedback.
