I graduated from the UCLA Fully-Employed MBA (FEMBA) program. It takes three years, but I have no debt because I was able to work during school. UCLA and USC's part-time program's are both very good and students from all around CA attend. I had classmates from San Diego and San Francisco. Have you considered attending part-time?

The two I had on test day were ones I'd seen before. I recommend you find and download the list of essay Q's. All the essay topics are available online.

I'm impressed! I'm also impressed with your dedication to studying. It is hard to believe that a MBA can be worth 120k, but from what I have heard, it generally is (from the right school). It just seems so.... expensive! You are already planning 2009 goals? I’m impressed! I’m also impressed with your dedication to studying.

Maybe your school has something similar? It might be worth it to avoid the test since you will be taking the same classes anyway.
