Hi
I am planning to appear for GMAT in June End.. I am preparing a study plan for 3 months.
I took Magoosh 10 ques diagnostic tests, got 5/10 in verbal and 8/10 in Quant.
Should i take the official gmat practice test before starting prep to get a real scenario and plan my studies accordingly?
Or are there other fairly good test that i should take now and keep the offical tests for later?
Please guide.

The official tests should be used with care; there are only 6 of them available after all. I would suggest you take one test now to get an idea where you are at and take it from there. I'm not too familiar with other mock tests, but over the course of 3 months, 6 official GMAT mock tests should be enough, I daresay. It might be good to keep one for your final week. I don't think anyone here would suggest spending money on the mock tests of a third party company instead of the official mock tests.
I'd also be a bit wary and take the results I may receive from a 3rd party mock test with a grain of salt. The score that an official mock test is probably the most credible reflection of one's 'true' scoring ability.
As for how you should take your official tests, I guess that depends case by case. It may be a good idea to take a mock test every weekend in the last weeks running up to your exam date. It may also be a good idea to take a mock test every week from right now. I think, if you have some big gaps in terms of knowledge about certain topics, you might want to hold off on burning several mock tests in the beginning weeks.
