Hello,
Even though there are only two GMAT prep tests you can (and should) take each test at least twice. Therefore, you'll end up taking four GMAT prep tests. When you take them exactly is up to you, but you should make sure that you do each test twice. One possibility would be to take 1 test a week so that way you have time in between tests to make improvement and work on your weaknesses.

Cheers
Dan

Thanks, for the reply. Currently I 'm giving 1 test a week and counting this week I have 5 weekends to give tests. I have 4 MGAT test left, which I really like for the quality of quant questions and detailed breakdown of the exam questions.
Should I ditch the MGMAT & write GMAT prep test then?? Is it advisable to give 2 test every weekend?

It is true that tests like MGMAT and the Veritas Prep Practice tests do have more features than the GMATPrep - including things like amount of time used per question and answer explanations. Very useful.

However, the GMATPrep has official questions (retired) and has some of the better questions that are out there. It is also the same interface that is used on the actual exam. No reason not to take each of these twice.

As to the quality of quant questions - don't forget that the Official questions rely on stealth much more than unofficial questions do. GMATPrep tests are worth it. You could alternate between Official and Unofficial tests but be sure to get at least 2 GMATPrep tests in...

I agree with David. Manhattan's tests are really good if you want to analyze the test in certain ways like how much time you're spending on each question type. However, GMATPREP has better questions in general. Therefore a balanced approach might be best if want to analyze the tests in a different way.
Taking two tests in a weekend is fine as long as you have time to review the tests. It's when you review problems that you really get better.
