It depends on your requirements.
If you want a gmat like mocks than mba.com is the one but if you want to practice on quants than gmat club or Manhattan. Veritas is good for verbal.

Its a no-brainer that the official mba.com mocks are the most accurate and closest to the real deal. Apart from that, Manhattan mock tests are usually touted as the runner-up. There are other tests too, you can check them here :-

The official Gmat mocks are the best apart from them, Gmat club mocks are excellent for quants while not too good for verbal.
I have heard that Kaplan mocks are good for verbal and maths both.

Hi Rocky1313,

Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can access 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). While the most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC, 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)

If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that Score, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
