Hi Friends,
I took the Official Mock Exam 1, few months ago, and am left with Exam 2, out of Free Practice Set. I made the mistake of exhausting the free official mock in the very beginning of my preparation. Now, I want am almost at the end of my prep. So I want to use the first Official mock (which I have taken) again by resetting it. But in the site it shows that, I can only reset both free exam at once. This way, I will have to reset the exam (exam 2) that I have not used yet. Any suggestion. I just want to do the first exam again. Any suggestions?
Thank You!

Hi tndvekas760,
While the most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC, 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). Thus, if your goal is to assessment how you might actually score on the Official GMAT, then you have to take a NEW CAT each time. 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 that matches the parameters that you will face when you take the Official GMAT) - so you can use any NEW CATs from any of those sources next.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi EMPOWERgmatRichC
I had taken Free Official Mock 1, 7 months back and had the verbal score of V19 only. So, I think that Mock will still be useful to me, as I had not reviewed any of the questions. So all I want to do is take that test again, with keeping the second free Official Mock Exam 2 untouched for the future use(one week before real exam).
Can you please provide some suggestions on same? I want to reset the first free official mock, but there is option for resetting both, including one (Free Mock Exam 2). Thank You!
