-Should I take the first Focus Mock test before I start studying to diagnose my weak areas, or should I study for a bit first before taking the first mock test?

Consider taking an Official Focus mock from the MBA website after getting a bit familiar with the material. 2 of the 6 are free.

This is a misnomer as you can take the 2 free tests probably 3 times and not see repeats so you are just fine to take it in your first week to setup a baseline.

Hi CarsonFletcher,

Regarding your timeline, I think the best move is to take a practice test so you can get a baseline score. Once you see how far off you are from your goal score, you can determine a more precise estimated timeline.

This is misleading since you can take the two free exams three times without seeing duplicates, so you can take them in your first week to build a baseline.

"If you attempt to take any of the Practice Exams more than once, you may see repeat questions." - Source: GMAT Focus Official Practice: How Many Times Can I Reset My Practice Exams?: https://support.mba.com/hc/en-us/articl ... tice-Exams

The page mentions some info regarding mocks 3-6, for example, that people may find interesting/helpful as well.

Has anyone done some experimenting with the tests, both the free ones and tests 3-6, to see the extent of repeat questions one sees?
