I'm planning on taking the GMAT in August. How many practice tests should I try to take and at what frequency in my studies? I'm thinking that after I finish my inital Kaplan book, maybe take one every weekend? I see some people take like 6+ practice tests, which seems a little excessive. Any advice?

Also, anyone familiar with GMAT Focus? I saw this on www.mba.com and am not sure if its worth the money? Anyone use it?

For the most part, it depends on you and your preparation. Some people do 3 or 4 cats while others, like myself, do 10. In general, the more problems you have with timing, the more you should take practice cats.

Quality matters more than quantity. Only take adaptive tests. GMATPrep, Princeton Review and Manhattan GMAT are all adaptive. I haven't taken any MGMAT tests, but I've found the other two to be very realistic and worthwhile.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
