Chirag,
My advise to you is to avoid free mock-up exams. You can purchase Rita's simulation exam and this will help you a lot with more than a 1600 question in there.

First time that I not agree with you, why avoid free test? I've prepared my test with only free stuff and I get the certification at first attempt.
1) Read the PMBOK
2) Read "PMP Exam Prep, Eighth Edition - by Rita Mulcahy"
3) Purchase the "PM FASTrack Exam Simulation Software for the PMP Exam"
4) Purchase the Gold package from PMstudy.com
5) Once you are scoring 80% or above consistently in all knowledge areas, you are ready to sit for the exam.
Rita Mulcahy and PMstudy.com are both PMI REPs.
Stay away from free question banks found on the Internet because most are dated or invalid.

I think you suggestion is sound
There is many low cost simulation. But first prepare.
I have coach for the PMP exam, free exam are not always revise for newest version of PMBOK.
My advise to you is to avoid free mock-up exams. You can purchase Rita's simulation exam and this will help you a lot with more than a 1600 question in there.
I agree with Rami. Saving Changes...

Chirag,
I used the PM FASTrack Exam Simulation Software for the PMP Exam and the PMstudy software when I was studying for my PMP exam. It's worth the investment.

There is no problem with disagreeing Maria, that's why we usually discuss this to reach to a happy medium.
From your end, it happened that you did all free mock-up tests and passed but this does not means that this is the right advise to give to someone seeking one. Generally speaking, I have seen so many free exam test that have wrong answers which is misleading and I know many PMP Trainers who says the same.
I have to agree with Rami, Chauncene, and Jon on this one. It is best to just stick with one system which works best for the way you learn. Although you should be able to answer a variety of questions... Some sources may not give you a complete explanation to the questions, which may just lead to confusion. Saving Changes...

Discussions are amazing!
First of all, we have to take in mind that not all who belong to this community may have the budget for paying resources.
That is why; from my point of view, we should recommend the free test only under the following conditions.
- Not suitable for people who have only led small projects.
- The free test can contain errors. (Agree Rami, I found more than one)
- The free test usually doesn’t contain situational questions, as you will see on the exam.
Benefits of free mock test.
- Free
- Convenient for test what are your weakness KA
- Easy way to check timings answering questions.
What do you think?
Like this we can recomend both but adding our considerations.

Maria,
Now that you are being more specific, I tend to agree with your rationale. How this gives more advise to new practitioners on how to utilize free mock-up exams.
