­The frequency and timing of your GRE/GMAT mock tests should align with your overall study plan and test date. Here’s a general guideline on how to space out your mock tests:
  1. Diagnostic Test: Always start your preparation with a diagnostic test to assess your baseline performance. This will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and tailor your study plan accordingly.
  2. Early Preparation Phase (Month 1): In the first few weeks of your preparation, focus on building foundational skills and concepts. During this phase, take one GRE/GMAT mock test in the fourth week of your preparation. This will allow you to track your progress without overwhelming you and help you identify areas where you have improved, and where you need improvement.
  3. Mid-Preparation Phase (Month 2): As you gain a solid understanding of the GRE/GMAT test content and format, increase the frequency of your GRE/GMAT mock tests to once every week. This will help you regularly assess your progress and make necessary adjustments to your study plan. These mock tests should be taken under conditions that mimic the test day environment as closely as possible to build mental stamina and reduce anxiety.
  4. Final Preparation Phase (Month 3): In the last month leading up to your test date, take 1 to 2 GRE/GMAT mock tests every week. This will help you fine-tune your time management skills, build endurance, and reduce test-day anxiety.
  5. Last Week Before the Exam: In the final week, consider taking 2 full-length GRE/GMAT mock tests under test-like conditions. This will help you simulate the exam day experience and ensure that you are fully prepared.
