When I was in high school the teacher once conducted an exercise. 
Between everyone in the class we had at least six different chumashim, 
so he had us all look at the same place in the Targum and had one person 
read aloud, while everyone else would "correct" him when he deviated 
from what was printed in their chumash.   The "corrections" came thick 
and fast, and we understood that there were no two chumashim with the 
same exact text of the Targum!
