I believe GMAT is about 3 things: 1.Practice 2. Review 3.Stamina
General advice is to take full-length practice tests 30-45 days before the actual GMAT or when the student completes at least 80% of the test topics. But not before that. I think this is because the low test scores due to incomplete preparation would dent student's confidence and the student would have exhausted all the tests by the time he completes all the test topics.
Well, I don't mind If my scores are low initially as along as I get the 3 things mentioned above. Pratice tests can be bought from different course providers. This is my plan:
1. Kaplan - 6 tests
Reason: Toughest test. Will score less, but I prepare better as I fail more. Losing confidence
earlier is better than losing it later.
2. MasterGMAT - got quite a few, so till a month before GMAT. Not sure about their toughness.
3. Manhattan GMAT - last 4-5 weeks. Save the best for the last.
Please advice..
