My GMAT exam is by the end of July. I am almost done with the quant and I will start the verbal next week, willing to take all July for practicong and mock exams
How many exams I should take in the last 4 weeks?
I have GMAT club exams, MGMAT exams, 800 score and one GMAT prep exam
Should I buy more of the GMAT prep exams instead of solving lots of non official exams? Or what I have are enough?

Hi GMAT717,
When you take a CAT, if your goal is to receive a realistic score assessment, then you really have to be strict about HOW you take the CAT. The more the 'CAT-taking event' deviates from what you'll face on Test Day, the more likely the score is to be inaccurate (and in most cases, that means "inflated"). As such, you should make sure to take a NEW CAT each time, with the Essay/IR sections, away from your home, at the same time of day as your Official GMAT, etc. Since there are many aspects to taking the GMAT that you can only learn by taking a CAT, you shouldn't wait until the very end to be taking CATs - you should be taking them at regular intervals throughout your studies.
Beyond those details, it's important to remember that taking lots of CATs will NOT make you a better Test Taker. A CAT is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of those weaknesses. To raise your scores, you have to put in the necessary practice and repetitions. The CAT will show you whether your studies are helping you to improve or not. As such, you really shouldn't take more than 1 FULL CAT per week.
1) How many CATs have you taken so far and how have you scored on each (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

Thank you Rich for your reply
I only took the diagnostic test GMAT prep exam before starting and I got Quant 36 and Verbal 15
I slept during the verbal so I decided to change my real test to evening instead of morning
I am supposed to finish the quant this weekend and willing to take my second test after that. Then I will start 4 weeks of verbal preparation, with solving quant questions every day for 4 weeks.
After that I will be having 4 weeks of tests, reviewing plus ir and awa
I have read that I should take at least 2 exams in the last week but not the day before the exam, so I thought of taking it Monday and Friday, the real exam is Monday after.
My target score is 600, I just should pass the 50 percentile in each section
