To clarify, I meant to ask

How much of a gap should there be between my last practice test and my scheduled test date?

Hi Guest,

The time between your last practice test and your real GMAT will depend on how prepared you feel for the test and how much studying you have left. Additionally, the gap between a practice test and a real test is not a good measurement for scheduling a seat at a testing center. Instead, I would recommend looking at your Assessment Reports and see which areas need more work. Depending on how much work you feel you need, you should schedule and exam and set a deadline for studying. Then, focus on improving your skills by working on OG questions; the deadline should help provide the proper motivation for getting to all the material.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Generally, I tell my students to take their last practice test exactly 1 week before the real thing - same day, same time of day, same everything. Practice a complete dry run. :)
