Bonus Pro Tip: Do Not Leave Mocks for the End of Your Prep

One of the most common mistakes aspirants make is saving GMAT mock tests for the final stage of preparation. Instead, take them across all stages. Begin early, keeping the frequency low at first and increasing it closer to test day. Regular mocks keep you in touch with all topics, build test-taking stamina, refine strategies, and strengthen your exam temperament. Making mocks a constant part of your preparation ensures you are ready to perform at your peak when it matters most.
