Needless to say, I am big fan of this forum. I got 640 (Q 49- V 29) in my previous attempt (before 2 years).
Now am aspiring to cross 700+ mark with my exam planned 12 weeks from today.
I am in a lookout for full-length adaptive GMAT tests. Few exams that I took in my last attempt and would again appear are :
a) GMAT PREP -2 full length tests
b) Manhattan - full length tests

Kindly suggest what are the other effective full-length tests. Also, for Manhattan, I guess I need to pay (last time I got it free because I brought SC book) for the tests?

Many thanks, in advance.

Kind Regards,
Orange08

Hello
You can take the GMAT Prep tests twice each (for a total of four tests) without getting more than 15% overlap. If it's been awhile since you took the Prep tests you might not even remember the questions that are overlapped. Also, there are over a 1000 questions in the GMAT Prep tests so it's a good idea to go through them a couple times anyway just for the practice problems.

If you want to take the Manhattan tests again I would just recommend buying another Manhattan book (maybe number properties)

Beyond that you can look at this survey that gmatclub did to give you some ideas for practice test

Thanks a ton. Its indeed very helpful. I feel following would be my test taking strategy :

1) GMAT PREP - TEST 1 (free from www.mba.com)
2) MGMAT - test 1 (free with the purchase of any Manhattan book)
3) MGMAT - test2
4) MGMAT - test 3
5) GMAT PREP- TEST 2

2) MGMAT - test2
3) MGMAT - test 3
4) GMAT PREP - TEST 1 (free from www.mba.com)
5) MGMAT - test 4
6) MGMAT - test5
7) MGMAT - test 6
8) GMAT PREP- TEST 2
9) GMAT Prep- test 1 repeat
10)GMAT Prep test 2 repeat

The last two score will probably be inflated, but what really matters is getting good practice and building up stamina. So when you do GMAT Prep tests for the second time make sure you do all the questions (including repeats) as you regularly would so you don't give yourself an advantage that you won't have on the day of the test

"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."
