After finishing 6 exams, you don't need to reset anything - you can just continue to take additional tests. The only difference is that now the algorithm is allowed to give you questions you have already seen before. The results of the CATs you've already taken are still there for you to review.

How about GMATPrep tests? After taking both exams, can I reset them and perhaps get different sets of problems???
Thank you!

Same thing - resetting them just opens up the entire pool of questions for possible use, so you're just as likely to get questions you've seen before as if you don't "reset" anything. The only exception to this is if it has been a long time (more than 6 months) since you downloaded GMATPrep, because they do periodically update the question database. You may still see some repeats, because they don't rotate the entire question pool, but they will have taken out some old ones and put in some new ones, so it at least decreases the chances of seeing a repeat (a little bit, anyway).
