Hello, i signed up for this site (gmatclub) a few weeks ago, been using it to do extra problems and view tips. i noticed on the top right corner with the events/notifications kaplan offers free gmat practice tests.
https://www.kaptest.com/gmat/enroll?zip=32828&tab=events
1. when signing up for a certain practice test day, is it a physical building i go to? or do i do it from home at the time stated?
2. is the test CAT, or do they just give you random questions to answer?
3. i notice they have at least 2 practice tests a week. it says they're free, sounds a little too good to be true. is there any catch to this? like will questions most likely repeat if i attend every week, nullifying the effectiveness?
4. are there any other on site places i can free practice CAT tests? i prefer to go to an on-site, because even if i do a practice CAT at home, ill just be distracted by everything in my room lol
thank you!

I don't know much about what Kaplan offers but I would imagine that if you continue to sign up you will see repeat questions over time. They probably won't force you to buy anything but be prepared to receive emails, marketing materials, etc...
However, pretty much every test prep company offers free practice exams (Veritas Prep, MGMAT, GMATPrep). I don't think that many (if any) offer the exams at a set location, but it may be good to go to a library and sit down for the exam. The most important thing is to simulate the real exam environment. While it's not easy to do at home, it will pay off to focus only on the exam for 4 hours as you would on test day.
GMAC offers two free practice exams through their GMATPrep software while pretty much every other place will offer one free CAT. Definitely a great resource to take advantage of for your studies.

Hi btan219,
Most free practice Tests are administered online, but some companies do offer on-site "local" events in major cities. The link that you provided is likely for an event that you will log into online (you can choose the location (home, library, etc.) - just make sure that you have a reliable internet connection.
The description of the actual event should be provided (it might be a practice Test, free class, Q&A, etc.) - in the event that its a practice Test, it will likely be the SAME Test every time, so going to multiple events will not be much of a benefit.
While these types of free events are a great way to gain some initial exposure to the GMAT, they're often 'unrealistic' in one (or more) ways: the Test might not actually be adaptive, it might not include the Essay and IR sections and you are the one who ultimately decides on how "realistic" you make the event on your end.
Taking advantage of free resources and opportunities is a good idea, but at a certain point you have to look at this whole process as an investment in your future. Trying to save money now might end up derailing your entire 'big picture' plan.
