Hi bhavyapabby,

The extra information that you've provided is really helpful in that it shows that your definition of "test-like" does not match my definition.

"Test-like" means more than just completing the entire CAT. The GMAT is administered under very specific conditions, so it's beneficial to practice under similar conditions. In addition, your specific Test Day and Time should be considered when you plan our when to take your practice CATs.

For example, if your Official GMAT is on a Saturday at 9am, then that's the same day/time combo that you should be taking your practice CATs. Since the GMAT is not administered in your home, you should "travel" the same amount of time that you would travel on Test Day. The GMAT is also not administered on laptop computers (that I am aware of), so the physical differences between working on a desktop computer and a laptop computer should also be factored in.

I don't have any comment on another GMAT Company's CATs other than to say that none of the CATs is exactly the same as the Official GMAT; certain CATs are "closer" than others, but they all inherently have some bias.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
