Please what is the credibility of the gmatclub test? Cos i encountered few question that seems odd to me. such as this one
A major film studio announced the release date of a movie based on a novel that, though it was a bestseller when first published, has been out of print for nearly fifteen years. Hoping to capitalize on the anticipated success of the film, the publisher who owns the copyright on the novel plans to print a new edition to be made available the same week the film premieres.
EACH of the following, if true, supports the soundness of the publisher’s plan to capitalize on the success of the film EXCEPT
The publisher has received permission from the film studio to stamp the words “Now a major motion picture” on the cover of each book.Last year a new edition of a novel that had been out of print hit the bestseller lists two weeks after a movie biography of its author was released. The publisher received two hundred thousand dollars after selling the production rights to the film studio.The actress playing the lead in the film has discussed her love for the novel in nationally televised interviews.Last year a new edition of an unpopular novel was adapted into a top-grossing film, and sales of the book spiked.

Meanwhile some question repeats the options.
I'm about to take the bigger test I redeemed with my kudos. Is that more reliable and without the errors in the free one?

Dear Nez,
I'm happy to respond. :-)

The Quantitative sections of the GMAT Club tests are superb. I highly recommend those. Those are vetted by that genius Bunuel, so they are all very good. Unfortunately, I don't recommend the Verbal sections as highly. I have seen some good questions and some not-so-good questions from that verbal section.

As a general rule, it's much easier to write GMAT-level math questions than it is to write GMAT-level verbal questions. Most of the math questions on this site from various companies are at least reasonably good GMAT practice math questions, but I have seen truly atrocious verbal questions marketed as if they were of "GMAT quality." As a student, it's important to be discerning in assessing verbal question quality. MGMAT and Magoosh have excellent questions, and I have be quite impressed with several Veritas questions.

Here's a Magoosh CR "except" question:
Violent felonies in Dismaston
Here's a SC question:
Snow leopards
For each questions, when you submit your answer, the following page will have a full video explanation for the question.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
Mike :-)

If you are asking about GmatClub Quant test, then as mentioned by Mike, they can help in your preparation immensely. You can not have a CAT that only gives you 700 level questions. But Gmatclubtests are adaptive. So if you do well you will see 700 level questions in a row. BUT don't be surprised when you look at the stats after giving the CAT and you see that you had marked three 700 level questions in a row and still next two questions that came up was of 500 or 600 level. It happens in real GMAT CAT too.

If you are asking overall CAT experience of Magoosh : IMO They are really good. When i had started with Magoosh videos learning lessons there were 5 questions to be attempted after each lesson both in verbal and quant BUT in these SET of five questions you only get easy (stamped as EASY) questions. so after the lessons i started taking CATS and i saw that there were probably no easy questions left in question pool after atleast two CATS and hence i was only getting MEDIUM, HARD and very HARD question. In my last CAT i only got TWO medium questions (if i remember correctly). So for practice they are really good. IMO, Magoosh questions and explanations are up to the mark with GMAT standards.

Hope it helps you :)
