I have been taking GMATPrep 1 & 2 very week. I clear the data from the location C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\GMATPrep. I do get some questions repeated but most of the test is new every week. I do have access to other tests (like MGMAT, Veritas etc.) that I can take instead. My GMAT is scheduled to be on 6th of August. Should I keep taking GMATPrep the way I am or would it be prudent to switch over to Veritas, Grockit or MGMAT tests instead?

I would keep at least one prep test for the end evaluation...since you have access to alternative try those in the mean time...problem with so many repeats is you may not be able to judge the performance fairly !

You are right, but I am mostly ignoring the score at this point... I am just using them for practice.

Mate my point was- Gmat prep test are quite a top notch and I would not want to waste them on practicing but rather keep them for real simulation. Since you already have many other options it should be doable no :?: but again it's up to you how you want to take it on...

Ahh, interesting! Didn't think of this. I will do that in my last week of preparation. I do these prep test repeated in my last week. Thanks for the idea :)

From my experience I found GMAT Prep should also be taken with a pinch of salt. Since my scores were -50 points of my last scores on the GMATPrep.

I echo the same here- my best shot with Gmat prep was 640 but I managed 680 (I took multiple tests (some repeated obviously) in th last week of test date)...
