All Reviews > [Tests] GMAC Official GMAT Prep Exams Reviews |
These mocks feel like the real GMAT tests. The scoring algorithm is exactly same as the real test. The UI is what one would expect to see in the real exam.
These are exact replica for your test day experience.
This is good as writing the GMAT for various reasons-
1. Interface - This is the same interface that covers same font, resolution, GUI, language, tools etc
2. Questions - These are as adaptive as it can get, since GMAC uses the same algorithm
3. Instructions - Reading instructions here will save you energy during the real test
4. Familiarity - It's important to avoid doing new things during exams. These mocks will give you something familiar during the test
This is a must buy product for at least the mock tests.
So, having attempted a wide range of mocks, Manhattan Prep Free Mock to Gmat Club Tests to Experts Global Free Mock and Egmat Sigmax free mock, I can safely say that although people rightly say that its the best indicator of your actual score and I would agree with them but still would say that it is simpler than what other mocks from the other companies and it would be better suited to purchase a subscription to Gmat Club Tests and/or Manhattan Prep mocks to harden you for the battle with tougher than actual mocks so that you are prepared for the worse in the exam hall
And, yes, keep these for the final weeks of your prep, do not waste them in the beginning because even though it is simpler than others, still the only official algorithm ones
the 6 GMAT Official Practice Exams (each of which can be reset at least twice), formerly known as the GMATPrep exams, are the most realistic practice exams on the market. However, the scoring is less reliable, and most will find the real GMAT to be a bit harder, especially on the high end of scores. Plan to spend about two to three months and 100–120 hours reviewing material and practicing regularly. The top scorers on the GMAT spend 120+ hours, on average, studying for Test Day over a period of time. Apart from the first mock test that you take right in the beginning, you should plan to take at least 2 mock tests towards the end of your preparation. You may take more mock tests if time permits. You should have a minimum of 3 days between 2 mock tests.
There are no other mocks like the official practice tests. The scoring algorithm is as close as it gets, to the real test. But the customer support is below par and my test constantly kept crashing. Many other users reported the same issue. The UI is what one would expect to see in the real exam.
Some questions might be repeated from old Official Guides, leading to an inflated score. The practice question packs are worth it only for verbal section as quant can be appropriately practiced with the Gmat Club's Quant tests ( got a Q50 in my first attempt with those).
Overall a must buy product for the mock tests only.
GMAC Prep tests are a MUST DO! They follow the same algorithm as the official test and give a true picture of where you stand today!
Though they are a bit expensive, but totally worth it! Ii would suggest that you avail a 30% discount on them through the GMAT Club premium bundle ( Great deal!!)
One should give one official mock before starting the prep to gauge the starting point and look for areas that need improvement. After that, giving the official mocks once per week is a great practice for stamina building and for knowing the true level of prep!
Do not do any official prep questions before giving the mocks as this might inflate the score!
No other exam can replace the real exam like situation. This is very good feel how the real online GMAT exam would look like, including the whiteboard, calculator, complexity and algorithm. Other Exam prep companies cannot match at least the algorithm used by GMAC. Take it starting from 1 month before the actual GMAT. The advantage is that I can take the exam several times so that you know how the real exam works. I have been capturing the performances, by answering only Reading comprehension, answering only first 20 questions correct etc to see what your score will look like, when you encounter difficult questions in the real GMAT and compare to see what strategy would work for you.
By far this is the most realistic score predictor for the GMAT. Use these 4 tests wisely as they are costly and even if you reset them, you will see few repeats. take the exam in real test like conditions and dont pause.
I got little lower in the GMAT exam than in the prep tests maybe because of a bad day, but still no other company has predicted the results better.
One bad thing is they do not provide any insights or solutions.
Ensure the network you work on is good because these test get stuck too often if the bandwidth is slow.
Overall, best product..
I got GMAC tests with the official guide 2020 and its really helpful for me. The tests are to some extent closet to the Actual GMAT exam and provides similar experience.
I would recommend that one should opt for the GMAC Test series if not availed earlier. It will be of great help in scoring competitive marks on the exam day.
The question bank given on wiley website is also useful and it will give an option to those preparing it from other GMAT courses and this will gives us more questions to practice and get acquainted with the actual exam format and difficulty.
this one was best set of question i practiced before giving actual gmat test . all random questions which i practiced were not able to give me proper idea about the level of questions which actually comes in gmat test . when i practiced question from this set i realised that actual gmat is far easier than the question we get at most places . this calmed my nerves and i was able to sleep soundly before my gmat paper. i would suggest everyone to practice only official question in last 1 months before gmat as official questions are closest to actual gmat . sometimes many questions have same logic as the question you face in real gmat exam .
The exam is really accurate and gives the correct score of what you might get in the real exam, +/- 10 points. The analysis is a problem, I had to look for each incorrect question on the GMAT Club, it would if explanation is mentioned there only, or at least a link to the thread would suffice. Also I felt that questions were king of repeated after 2 tests, so basically give the first 2 tests with full preparation, since after that, you cannot be sure of the score, if questions are repeated.
These tests should be taken seriously and not be treated as normal practice mocks, since they give the actual level where you stand with respect to your preparation.
