First Practice Test - I'm Scared!

Question

Hey Guys!

So, I have been studying on and off for about 2 months (very limited, pretty much useless), it is time to get serious!

I need to gauge my baseline score. Like many others, I’m afraid to take my first practice test, however, that all changes on Sunday. What do you think is the best test to take for the first practice test? I was reading the post on how to create a study guide, they recommend taking one of the tests provided by the official GMAT. Is this still the best “first” practice test?

Thanks for all the help, love this forum!

Although its scary to take the diagnostic test, its very crucial to gauge the stage and effort needed to get your desired score.

I would advise you highly to take it. Don't take the test score as a true measurement of your ability because sometimes the concepts are new to you too or it's been a while since you studied them and you just need a refresher. You will easily understand the concepts once you start studying them
