Gregmat 2 Month plan Question - Diagnostic Test

Hi everybody, I would like to hear your thoughts on this one:
I'm following Gregmat 2-month plan and currently finished day 6 on the first week.
Next, by the plan, I have to take the diagnostic test.
So far I've encountered many SE/TC question in which I didn't know MANY of the meanings of the words in the answer choices, therefore got them wrong. I did study and memorized Greg vocabulary through the plan (so far did only 3 sets).
I'm afraid that doing the diagnostic test would not be worthwhile, because I wouldn't know the meaning.
On the other side, I practiced very well the strategies (Math+Pairing).
Do you think I should try the diagnostic test? If so, how to consider a score and questions where I did not know certain words?
If not, what else is recommended for me? I must say my english is good as well as my vocabulary, though this is a never ending story.

The idea to take mocks at a constant pace is completely subjective
A student could take a mock every day o never.
The goal of taking mock is to get used to the exam and to deal with time pressure and refine your time management. However, students think as a tool to improve their exam ability and skills. In other words, to nail more questions correctly.
This is false.
A friend took the GMATPrep, two, in the last week before the exam and never before. Just to warm up.
720 final score.
It is totally up to you and your feeling/confidence

Hi, my 2 cents,
If you're not confident, then prepare and wait one more week (but not much longer) to take a diag test. If you took and got bad score, you could feel further discouraged and also waste a decent test.
