Would highly recommend the GMAC OG mocks. The best source to really help gauge your level. Ensure that you plan the timings and write the mocks to ensure you can reap the maximum output. I took mine two days before my official exam date at the same time to ensure I was getting my mind tuned to sitting around that time of the day. Follow the approach that works the best for you. If you want to take it couple of days before the scheduled date, that should also be okay, (read quite a lot of reviews in favour of this). So it’s a good option to consider purchasing.
The GMAT Official Mock Tests No. 3 and 4 are outstanding tools for assessing your current readiness. They offer a comprehensive evaluation, helping you identify your strengths and areas for improvement. The test structure closely mirrors the actual GMAT, providing a realistic practice experience. One of the standout features is the variety of questions, especially during reattempts, which ensures you are challenged with different problems each time. This diversity is crucial for thorough preparation. Overall, these mock tests are invaluable for anyone serious about excelling on the GMAT. They are, without a doubt, the best way to understand your current standing and prepare effectively for the real exam.
They are the most realistic score predictor for the GMAT. take the exam in real test like conditions and don't pause. Use these 4 tests wisely as they are costly and even if you reset them, you will see no repeats.
Also network you work on should be good because these test get stuck too often otherwise
Give one official mock before starting the prep to gauge the starting point or level and look for areas that need improvement. After that, give the official mocks at later stages for great practice and fine tune test strategy. Go for it without any thought. worth it !!
The OG tests, these tests accurately replicate the actual exam, covering all key areas and providing challenging, realistic questions. The detailed score reports offered invaluable insights into my strengths and weaknesses, helping me focus my study efforts effectively. Additionally, they provide a useful scale to gauge your level of preparation. However, I noticed some discrepancies between my practice test scores and my final GMAT score, which made me question their accuracy in reflecting my actual readiness. Despite this, the user-friendly interface and authentic test environment make MBA.com tests a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about achieving a high GMAT score.
These mocks feel like the real GMAT tests. The scoring algorithm is exactly same as the real test. The UI is what one would expect to see in the real exam.
These are exact replica for your test day experience.
This is good as writing the GMAT for various reasons-
1. Interface - This is the same interface that covers same font, resolution, GUI, language, tools etc
2. Questions - These are as adaptive as it can get, since GMAC uses the same algorithm
3. Instructions - Reading instructions here will save you energy during the real test
4. Familiarity - It's important to avoid doing new things during exams. These mocks will give you something familiar during the test
This is a must buy product for at least the mock tests.
So, having attempted a wide range of mocks, Manhattan Prep Free Mock to Gmat Club Tests to Experts Global Free Mock and Egmat Sigmax free mock, I can safely say that although people rightly say that its the best indicator of your actual score and I would agree with them but still would say that it is simpler than what other mocks from the other companies and it would be better suited to purchase a subscription to Gmat Club Tests and/or Manhattan Prep mocks to harden you for the battle with tougher than actual mocks so that you are prepared for the worse in the exam hall
And, yes, keep these for the final weeks of your prep, do not waste them in the beginning because even though it is simpler than others, still the only official algorithm ones
the 6 GMAT Official Practice Exams (each of which can be reset at least twice), formerly known as the GMATPrep exams, are the most realistic practice exams on the market. However, the scoring is less reliable, and most will find the real GMAT to be a bit harder, especially on the high end of scores. Plan to spend about two to three months and 100–120 hours reviewing material and practicing regularly. The top scorers on the GMAT spend 120+ hours, on average, studying for Test Day over a period of time. Apart from the first mock test that you take right in the beginning, you should plan to take at least 2 mock tests towards the end of your preparation. You may take more mock tests if time permits. You should have a minimum of 3 days between 2 mock tests.
GMAC Prep tests are a MUST DO! They follow the same algorithm as the official test and give a true picture of where you stand today!
Though they are a bit expensive, but totally worth it! Ii would suggest that you avail a 30% discount on them through the GMAT Club premium bundle ( Great deal!!)
One should give one official mock before starting the prep to gauge the starting point and look for areas that need improvement. After that, giving the official mocks once per week is a great practice for stamina building and for knowing the true level of prep!
Do not do any official prep questions before giving the mocks as this might inflate the score!
No other exam can replace the real exam like situation. This is very good feel how the real online GMAT exam would look like, including the whiteboard, calculator, complexity and algorithm. Other Exam prep companies cannot match at least the algorithm used by GMAC. Take it starting from 1 month before the actual GMAT. The advantage is that I can take the exam several times so that you know how the real exam works. I have been capturing the performances, by answering only Reading comprehension, answering only first 20 questions correct etc to see what your score will look like, when you encounter difficult questions in the real GMAT and compare to see what strategy would work for you.
By far this is the most realistic score predictor for the GMAT. Use these 4 tests wisely as they are costly and even if you reset them, you will see few repeats. take the exam in real test like conditions and dont pause.
I got little lower in the GMAT exam than in the prep tests maybe because of a bad day, but still no other company has predicted the results better.
One bad thing is they do not provide any insights or solutions.
Ensure the network you work on is good because these test get stuck too often if the bandwidth is slow.
Overall, best product..
