I would personally say no.
God is not all knowing at all times. However if he wanted to he could no doubt choose too, he is undoubtedly omniscient but doesn't always use this ability. If he did then that would mean that he knew Adam and Eve would sin which in turn would make him a wicked God since he knowingly allowed them to fall into sin when he knew they would be doomed. Scriptures such as Gen 22:12 also show that God didn't fully know certain attributes of Abraham but came to learn that Abraham was God fearing. An Omniscient God, but not always all knowing at his own choice it seems.
(Genesis 22:12) "...And he went on to say: “Do not put out your hand against the boy and do not do anything at all to him, for now I do know that you are God-fearing in that you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me...”

Is God omniscient?
Yes
Did Jesus limit his omniscience when he took on flesh?
Yes
Why did He limit his omniscience?
So that He could fully identify with man in his suffering for he was tempted in all things as we are. He also did this so that we have a model to follow for Christ said, "I only do what I see my Father in Heaven doing" (paraphrase John 5:30). Scripture also states that Jesus and the Father are One, I.e. Jesus is God (John 17:21, John 10:30, John 1:1, Col. 1:16-17, John 10:33, John 14:9).

That is your opinion, all I have to confess is Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
If I do not personal say it to you does not mean I deny Him, you are no special than any other person to make a bold statement like that. Besides I said yes, but you must realize He will still test us or allow us to be tested to see if we waver even though He knows the out come. You can even read in Job, He allowed satan to test Job. He knew Job would over come.
