Which Test to Buy [#permalink]
Before buying a new test or subscribing to other tests, I would suggest you take one more mock and see how you score on that. Again, you need to take the MOCK in the same condition that you are forced to take in the actual GMAT.

Buying a new test would be waste of money as well without doing the following.

I would suggest you to analyze what went wrong and what were your mistakes on the finished mocks. And improve on those mistakes before taking the 4th one. By this means, there are chances of score getting improved.

For the resetting part, i wouldn't suggest that though, since you have already seen those questions and there are chances of these questions reappearing. So it is better to analyze those mistakes you made on the previous test and try not to repeat them on the remaining one.

As there is no point in buying the new tests, without analyzing and correcting your mistakes on the existing one and expecting a higher score.

This is just a suggestion. But if you wish and if you don't feel right, you can very well buy a new one :)

Hope it helps. And all the best.

To learn from your mistakes and view video explanations showing our unique approach, you will need to upgrade. But you can still take the test and get a feel for various question types you will see on the actual exam.

Here is my advice:

1) Download GMATPrep and take one of the practice tests at a quiet and unfamiliar place, such as a library. do the entire test in one sitting including the breaks. This will give you a realistic sense of where you currently stand. None of the third party CATs come close to the official ones. In fact, I think they can do more harm than help. Remember you are taking a test written by GMAC's test writers not written by me or some xyz test prep company.
Download the tests from here: https://www.mba.com/global/the-gmat-exam ... tware.aspx

2) Exam Pack 1: For two additional tests download the Exam Pack 1 extension from mba.com: https://www.mba.com/global/store/store-c ... ack-1.aspx

Now you have four realistic GMAT CATs and you will have a far more accurate gauge of where you really stand. Of course, you should review the problems you missed and figure out a plan to address those shortcomings.

As is often the case, I very enthusiastically agree with Dabral's advice on this: no test-prep company can even come close to mimicking the actual GMAT, and the GMATPrep exams are far more valuable than anything else out there. It's certainly not a bad idea to supplement your GMATPrep exams with quant tests from other sources, but be careful not to get too hyped up (positively or negatively) about your scores on MGMAT or Veritas or other "non-official" tests. Learn as much as you can from your errors on those tests, but they definitely aren't a substitute for the GMATPrep material.

The GMATPrep Exam Pack isn't exactly cheap, but in the scheme of the MBA investment, it's worth every penny.

Good luck with your studies!
