The best mocks are the two free Official GMAT tests that are part of the GMATPrep software. I would recommend you to spend some time getting familiar with all of the GMAT question types, you could use the official GMAT guide, then take one of the official GMATPrep tests. If you score say 650, then your odds of hitting 750 are high, and I would skip any test prep classes, those are often targeted for average students. Instead, you would be better off studying on your own, perhaps hiring a private tutor to augment your preparation, using forums etc.

Cheers,
Dabral

p.s: The other valuable mocks are two official tests that are part of the Exam Pack 1 from mba.com.

Yes, definitely take 1 GMAT Prep test as a diagnostic in the beginning and the 2nd one sometime during the last week of your studies.

As a supplemental, you can take practice tests from other providers -- including this one from GMAT PILL: www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/practice-test

Hi Aditya,

Joining a coaching institute or being a part of a study group keeps you motivated and committed throughout the duration of your exam preparation. If you are willing to join an institute, I will advice you to visit some of the coaching centers close to your home and interact with their expert counselors. Ask all your questions and try to understand if your queries are being addressed well. Also try to seek out testimonials from existing and past students. Appear for a mock test with them and see how comfortable you are in your interactions.

As for us, you can find more information on this link: www.manyagroup.com

Do let us know if you have any further queries regarding gmat preparation or gmat coaching and we would be happy to guide.

Wish you the best.

Hi adityadon,

A 610 is a solid practice CAT score (the average on the Official GMAT is right around 540-550 most years), but I'm going to assume that you want to score higher than that.

With a May Test Date, you've given yourself plenty of time to study, but we need to define some of the other 'variables' in your timeline/plan:

1) What is your score goal?
2) What materials have you used so far during your studies?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

There are plenty of GMAT resources to choose from. Courses come in a variety of options (live classes, online classes, guided Self-Study, etc.), so it's important to do a bit of research, "test out" the various options and then choose whichever one best matches your personality, timeline and budget.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
