Extra Testing?

by Jwall74 Fri Oct 24, 2008 11:03 am

Hello all, I'm just wondering if someone could recommend a site for additional testing without spending crazy money. That is, other than the MGMAT 6 CATs and GMATPreps.

Thanks!

Don't take that many tests. You don't get much better by taking a bunch of tests. You get better by studying in between tests that you take just to assess your progress.

Basically, most people should take a test only about every 3 weeks until you get to about 2 weeks before the test. Then you take one 2 weeks before and another test 1 week before. You use your results from each test to decide what and how you need to study - and then you go spend a ton of time in between tests getting better.

There are circumstances in which someone should change this - eg, if the person is seriously struggling with stamina and needs more practice being alert 3 hours into the test.
