Product [Tests] GMAC Official GMAT Prep Exams GMAT Prep Exams 5 and 6 by GMAC

I have used the GMAC Official Practice Exams extensively while preparing for the GMAT, and while they are helpful for becoming familiar with the exam format, timing, and question types, I do not think they accurately reflect the difficulty level of the real exam. In my experience, the actual GMAT felt noticeably more difficult, particularly in terms of the complexity of the questions and the pressure created by the overall difficulty level.
