You want a baseline so you can measure progress- see if what you’re doing is working!

You can take a cold mock to gauge your current level, this will help in setting a baseline score so that you know how far you are from your target score.

You should take atleast one right away to know what the official test looks and feels like. Thereon, you should save the official mocks towards the latter end of your preparation.

­Hi Aayushi21,

Since you seem to be just starting out with your prep, I recommend studying for about a week or two to get comfortable with the GMAT's question types and format and then taking your first practice test. Once you take that first practice test, feel free to reach out back out, and I'd be happy to provide some additional advice. Also, here is some advice on how to move forward with your prep:
