Question

Hi
How relevant GMAT club practice tests to real GMAT??

I am scoring 585 in practice tests

I’ve personally found them harder than official GMAT mocks or the actual test. Their Quant is good though, but some of their verbal and DI questions didn’t seem very relevant. You can use their tests for practicing time management but use only official mocks to assess what your real score on the test day might look like

Hi Bhanusrich I second the opinion you have already received on this thread. But I would still say GMAT CLUB tests are pretty good practice in addition to practicing the full-length official tests. If you could share the sectionwise score then I might be able to tell you better whether GMAT CLUB tests are great practice for you to practice further or not. for Verbal and DI (MSR, TPA and G&T), you can't blindly trust any source other than official sources.

It's difficult to replicate the exact difficulty and adaptiveness of the official practice exams (which are made up of real GMAT questions).

That being said, practice tests are a scarce resource (especially for the Focus edition). So having a precise strategy for using different sources for practice exams is important:

1. Use the official exams later in your prep (when you've got a solid conceptual foundation and you're focused on improving things like anxiety management, timing and test taking strategies like skipping questions).

2. Use other solid sources like GC tests for getting yourself into the mindset of the exam -- being under time pressure, dealing with rapid shifts in topics, difficulty and time pressures.

Almost everyone I work with tells me they've run out of official practice exams -- and it's because the incorrectly used the official ones. Use them for fine tuning your performance not for getting used the structure and pressures of the exam.
