Hi All
My GMAT is scheduled for 20th June and till now I have completed CR and SC concepts and corresponding OG problems with detailed analysis.
My question is when should I take Official GMAT Prep tests.
I see on many forums people have dissected GMAT prep problems and I refrain from reading those just as to make sure that I do not want to attempt those questions before I take the tests.

I still have quant and RC to cover up , but I am fairly confident on quant. I am not sure about my RC skills but I am planning to complete RC 99 in the coming weeks.
Please suggest if I should start taking official tests or not ??

Thanks

Hi manihar.sidharth,

It's important to take FULL-LENGTH practice CATs on a regular basis (1 CAT every 1-2 weeks). While you're not expected to be an expert at everything just yet, it's important for you to train to face the non-content challenges of taking the FULL GMAT (endurance, pacing, physical and mental fatigue, etc.).

With a June 20th Test Date, you should definitely be taking a CAT each week (if possible).

"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."
