For math, the GMATClub Tests are much, much harder than the GMAT. Don't worry. View these as a way to learn advanced concepts and strategies rather than a predictor of your actual GMAT performance.

By the way, I scored around 20 quite often on those tests. My highest score was a 29 and my lowest equaled a 19. You're doing fine. Please don't makes these tests even harder by worrying too much over the scores. Just make sure to learn as much from them as you can. The most important questions are the ones that you answer incorrectly.

Do not attempt any test other than one diagnostic test before you have covered all the topics.

Follow the steps:

1. Grasp the required fundamentals.
2. Practice questions untimely for sometime, probably OG's
3. Practice timed.
4. Practice + Tests.

Thank you guys for the support. I have completed the OG questions 1 time but I found the test questions much harder and I also ran out of time after 30 questions.

So the GMAT club tests aren't indicative of what we would see on the actual GMAT unless we get to the 700+ questions? Or are the GMAT club tests even more difficult than the GMAT 700 level questions?

Think of the GMAT Club tests as a teaser to the 700+ questions. If you can get these right, you're on your way to getting a really good score on Quant. Some of them are more difficult, i.e. 770-780 level questions, some of them are okay and some of them are easy. They are well spread out.

This is just the first test, you have 24 more to go.

I am sure you would improve eventually.

i am sure you'll be fine --- these tests are great to learn from... you have so many more to go my friend...

but can anyone tell me if the percentile placement of your score at the end of the exam is accurate, i.e., is the result of each person (if timed) then compared against other attempted tests taken under both timed and untimed/review mode conditions (the untimed ones may increase the bar..)?

I got 30 right on M02 (after doing okish on the first) but saw my percentile as 66-67% and I was like --- there are way too many smart people on this board!

I got 23 correct on the M01. With a few silly mistakes here and there. What do u think guys?
I have my exam in the next 2 weeks and got these tests so as to get some new questions to practice from. I have already exhausted my manhattan tests 2x and the best i got in them is between 640 and 690.

Any feedback will be appreciated.
thx
