So i got some princeton review, kaplan, manhattan gmat and gmat prep practice tests.. alll together.. more than 10.. for sure.

how do you suggest I do them.. in what sequence.

should i do

a) pr, kaplan, mg, gmat prep
or
b) one gmat prep, pr, kaplan, mg, second gmat prep.
or
c) alternate.. between all

any tips..

goal is to develop 4 and half hour stamina for test,
discipline to analyze and answer questions in a pressure setting
and get habits trained properly for test day..

It doesn't really matter what order you do your practice tests. What I usually recommend, however is that you do one GMATPrep at the beginning and one GMATPrep at the very end. In between though, it's up to you.

Nope, it doesn't matter what order, but I agree with Eric (beatthegmat moderator) about using GMATPrep tests first and last.

Is there any validity to those suggesting to uninstall the GMAC software and re-install it to retake practice GMAT exams? Will the questions differ if I do that?
