Let’s get something out of the way first:
How Many Mocks Do You Really Get?
But here’s the smart play:
Because if things don’t go well in the first try (and that happens more often than you’d think), you’ll still have 4 untouched mocks left to use for your second attempt.
Of course, this is flexible. If you’re super confident and want to go through 10 mocks before your first try, go ahead. But for most people, planning conservatively helps.
But What If You’ve Already Used Up All Your Official Mocks?
Most retakers find themselves stuck in this dilemma. Yes, the official mocks offer the most reliable transparency into your readiness but that doesn't mean you're flying blind now. You can still track your progress and readiness, it's just that you have to shift your mindset a little.
Here are your two options:
1. If You’re on a Budget (or Almost Out of It)
Don’t underestimate the value of free full-length mocks - not for predicting your score, but for observing your patterns.
What you can evaluate:
These things matter more than your raw score on a third-party test.
Here are the popular free full-length tests (as of 2025):
Use them to practice test-day mindset, track section-wise timing, and identify weak spots.
2. If You’re Willing to Invest in More Mocks
If you’re still preparing and looking to go beyond the free mocks, these are some of the most popular paid full-length tests (as of 2025):
My take - I personally attempted multiple GMAT Club mocks during their free access on holidays and found them to match my official scores closely - both in difficulty and section analysis. But this is subjective.
So here’s what I’d recommend, try the free mock from each provider, and choose based on:
Running out of official mocks isn’t the end of the world. Yes, they’re the gold standard. But in the end, it’s your discipline, your review strategy, and your mindset under pressure that decide the score.
So keep practicing, be intentional, and remember:

So if you’re early in your prep journey, my first piece of advice is: Plan how you use your mocks before you run out of them.
How Many Mocks Do You Really Get?
- GMAC provides 6 official GMAT Focus mocks, with the first two available for free.
- Each one can be attempted twice, giving you 12 total test attempts.
- For most students, this is more than enough to reach their target score, especially if reviewed properly.
But here’s the smart play:

What you can evaluate:
- Are you pacing well across sections?
- Are you able to let go of tough questions and guess strategically?
- Are you saving time on your strengths to buy time elsewhere?
- Are you improving in your accuracy under pressure?
- Are you feeling comfortable with your section order?
These things matter more than your raw score on a third-party test.
Here are the popular free full-length tests (as of 2025):

2. If You’re Willing to Invest in More Mocks
If you’re still preparing and looking to go beyond the free mocks, these are some of the most popular paid full-length tests (as of 2025):
- GMAT Club Tests: Widely used with active community discussions, slightly tougher Quant and DI sections, and a realistic test-day experience.
- Experts Global: Known for consistency, offers most mocks at the lowest price, and has strong post-test breakdowns/charts.
- e‐GMAT (Sigma-X): Adaptive scoring with detailed performance diagnostics.
My take - I personally attempted multiple GMAT Club mocks during their free access on holidays and found them to match my official scores closely - both in difficulty and section analysis. But this is subjective.
So here’s what I’d recommend, try the free mock from each provider, and choose based on:
- Interface feel
- Analytics depth
- Section scoring trends
- Question quality
So keep practicing, be intentional, and remember:

If we want to buy any of the 3&4 or 5&6 among the official mocks from website, which one would you suggest buying (if you have some idea)?

I feel the earlier mocks are taken by a larger pool of test takers, which likely helps with better difficulty calibration. It also seems like the difficulty may gradually increase in the later mocks, though the shift is subtle enough that you might not notice it clearly. My suggestion would be to take them in order, but honestly, even if you mix it up, it shouldn't cause any issues.
