Anyone, please suggest me the best GMAT full-length test series. Please suggest some names whose test scores are reliable. I want to save two official tests for the end.

Hi Binay,
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. The most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC (the 2 free CATs, and each of the 2 that come with Exam Pack 1 and Exam Pack 2), but retaking a CAT that you've already taken is NOT a realistic way to assess your skills - since you will likely see some 'repeat' questions that you have already faced. Unfortunately, seeing even a couple of repeats can 'throw off' the Scoring Algorithm and impact your pacing, energy levels, fatigue, etc. (meaning that they would likely all appear to be better than they actually are). Thankfully, the CATs from Kaplan, MGMAT and Veritas are all 'close enough' to the real thing that they will provide you with a relatively realistic score assessment (assuming that you correctly take the CAT in a realistic fashion).
From our prior discussions, I know that you've been studying for several months, but you were not taking practice CATs/mocks during your first 3 months of study. Have you taken any CATs/mocks over the last couple of months (and if you did, then how did you score - including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Hi Rich,
First of all thank you so much for remembering me and for your advice.
A month ago,I appeared for a e-gmat mock and scored 610( Q45 and V29). For quant part I found lot of silly mistake ,and for verbal I was not able to timed myself. So, I thought of practicing official questions in timed manner. For last one month, I have been revising my concept and completed all offcial guide questions ( verbal and quant both). Now, I want to know my current level, and that is the reason I asked suggestion for test series. Someone suggested me to not exhaust my offical test from mba.com and to give it 10-15 days before exam. I am planning to give my exam on October( 10-15). Can you please guide me what should I do now?
My target socre is 710+.
