When to attempt GMAT Prep Tests

by manihar.sidharth » Tue Apr 28, 2015 8:36 pm
Hi All
My GMAT is scheduled for 20th June and till now I have completed CR and SC concepts and corresponding OG problems with detailed analysis.
My question is when should I take Official GMAT Prep tests.
I see on many forums people have dissected GMAT prep problems and I refrain from reading those just as to make sure that I do not want to attempt those questions before I take the tests.

I still have quant and RC to cover up , but I am fairly confident on quant. I am not sure about my RC skills but I am planning to complete RC 99 in the coming weeks.
Please suggest if I should start taking official tests or not ??

Thanks

Hi manihar.sidharth,

It's important to take FULL-LENGTH practice CATs on a regular basis (1 CAT every 1-2 weeks). While you're not expected to be an expert at everything just yet, it's important for you to train to face the non-content challenges of taking the FULL GMAT (endurance, pacing, physical and mental fatigue, etc.).

With a June 20th Test Date, you should definitely be taking a CAT each week (if possible).
