Two GMAT Prep tests (free from www.mba.com). You can probably take another 1-2 of our tests without seeing many repeats UNLESS (a) you've been scoring very highly in one or both areas over multiple tests, or (b) you've been scoring in the same general range in one or both areas over 4 or more tests.

How often have you been taking the tests? I don't generally recommend taking more than 4-5 tests total, over the entire length of your prep.

One every approx. 3 weeks to start, then one two weeks before the official test, and another 1 week before the official test. Following this plan (and assuming you take one right at the beginning), that's 14 weeks for 5 tests. Perhaps you've been spreading your study out over a longer period of time - but if you are taking a lot of tests very close together in time, don't. You don't learn much by taking another test before you've spent the time to analyze the previous test and fix your flaws accordingly.
