I've heard it said pretty often that taking too many practice tests as the test nears is generally a bad idea - particularly if your test is <1week away. The rationale I think is that whatever time you spend taking a practice test is time you don't spend studying, improving, analyzing, etc.
But, what if your weakness is with timing/stamina? Here's my current situation:
I've been having timing issues on both sections - I generally finish on time but the middle 10-20 questions are usually pretty bad for me because I get behind and have to rush to catch up. I took a practice test today, and my actual test is in a week. Is it bad to take another practice test tomorrow? I feel like I really just need a lot of practice with the actual test. I have plenty of data on what my weaknesses are and such, which I've been using as best I can. But what I really am poor at is just getting through the test at a good pace.
Has anyone been in this situation and found that taking practice tests helped them out more than just studying?
Side note - All of my practice tests have been with MGMAT. Will timing be any easier on the actual GMAT Prep tests?

OkSure
What is bad for one may be good for another. If you have timing issues, I would suggest you to read this post: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#/2010/10 ... for-field/
It has some excellent strategies. If you are not a football fan, skip the first 3 paragraphs and start from "Sometimes you have to punt for field position."
After you read the post, take another practice test keeping the strategies given in the post in mind.

It is fine to take full Sections and CATs the week of your test, just don't do anything the day before your test. I recommend taking full Sections to work on your pacing: a Quant section and review one day and then a Verbal section and review the next. Full CATs are great, but can be really tiring and obviously that is a concern the final week of prep.
