I had been taking Experts Global Mocks (after I had exhausted all 12 attempts for the Official mocks) - and my scores are somewhat stabilised
after their recent algorithm revision my mean score is 677 ( V36-38 , Q46-49 , down 30 points from what it was prior to the scoring revision ) , although the verbal part is rather challenging I do feel all the quant questions have a common theme which I feel inflate the test score .
my test is now scheduled for the fourth week of July and I would like to some mock tests recommendations
also I feel EG mocks are not adaptive ( wrong easy question was followed by two hard questions in my latest mock ) , am I right ?

If it has been a long time since your first 2 Official Mocks and you've significantly improved since then, consider giving them again.

Hi singh36x,
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. 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). 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.
1) Is your Score Goal still 690+?
2) When was the last time you took a NEW CAT (meaning one that you had NOT taken before) that wasn't an Experts Global test?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
