13 CATs should be more than enough.

The GMATPrep practice tests (free from https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx) will provide the most accurate scores with they use official GMAT questions and the official GMAT scoring algorithm.

Also keep in mind that you can take the GMATPrep tests multiple times. Yes, you will see some repeated questions, but not that many. If you're interested, I wrote an article for BTG on this topic: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/03/ ... iple-times

Cheers,

Brent:

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any use of buying 2 additional exams from MBA.com which is offered beside 2 free exams they have.

Gmat Premier 5 exams is it worth to do since some students say its not official and results are not accurate.

Well, Before you take eleven of the unofficial CATs you should try out some different options, and you should maximize the number of official GMATPrep tests that you take. I have never heard of GMAT Premier so I have no comment on those exams.

So, yes it is worth it to purchase the two additional official CAT exams from GMAC to add to the GMATPrep.

Another thing that you should consider is broadening your group of exams. Rather than taking 11 exams from a those two companies why not try the the FREE practice test from Veritas Prep. This test has shown a close connection to the scores received on the GMATPrep and on the official GMAT exam.
