Hi pusaluja,
The 'parameters' of the At-home Exam include having to use an online notepad (not handheld notes) and taking the sections Q/V/IR in that order with no 'break' until after the Verbal section. The lengths of each of those 3 sections has not changed though, so you can use any of the realistic CATs on the market and simply follow the At-home parameters when you take those CATs.
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).
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) Have you used any additional study materials besides the ones that you listed?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi pausaluja,
Out of curiosity, have you been studying for the GMAT for some time? Also, have you recently scheduled the online GMAT?
