accuracy of a test is all dependent on your preparation + the environment you are giving the test in.
some of the best tests are official , MGMAT , Veritas .. its advisable to give a test or two before finalising on your exam date as you will be able to understand on your weakness and work on the same.
IMO do not get carried away with just 1 test mock score give another and then do deep dive into analysis.

Fair point, this is exactly what i wanted to know. I attempted a few sectional tests and some questions really did rattle me so clearly that first official mock is not the best judge of ability. I plan to attempt the second official mock in the next 2 days and based on the result of that I should get a fair idea if I'm on the right track or just got lucky the first time.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Hi AG1999,

In general, all the MBA.om tests are quite accurate; however, because you had previously seen a few questions, your score was clearly inflated. Thus, if you want an even more accurate score I suggest taking a fresh MBA.com exam in which you have not seen any of the questions on that test.

Hi

I wanted to ask if the first free mock test available on GMAT is close to resembling the level of questions of the actual GMAT. I attempted it and have scored a 720 (Q49 V40) but quite a few of the questions were ones I had previously solved and did not have to take even more than 30 secs to recall the answer. Hence I doubt this test was indicative of what my actual score could be.

Any suggestions to which tests to attempt instead would be highly appreciated as well.

Thanks

Hi AG1999,

In my experience, the official mocks are the most reliable ones as they are believed to be the closest to the actual GMAT exam. It more or less follows the same kind of algorithm. So, the official mocks helps to analyse your preparedness for the test. However, only when you consistently score around your target score, you are good to go! So, keep this in mind before booking the slot.

All the best!
