Strengths:

GMAT Club Tests 5 and 6 are thoughtfully structured and conceptually sound. The questions are clear, logically framed, and very effective for reinforcing core Quant and Verbal concepts. The difficulty progression feels organized, and the analytics and detailed explanations are particularly valuable for diagnosing weak areas. These tests are excellent for building confidence and sharpening fundamentals.

Would make the product better:

In my experience, the actual GMAT felt tougher, especially in terms of question traps and time pressure. A slightly higher difficulty ceiling and more subtle answer choices and particularly in Quant and Critical Reasonin would help make the tests even more representative of the real exam experience.

GMAT Club Tests 5 and 6 are high-quality preparation tools that closely resemble the structure and logic of the GMAT. I scored higher on these than on the actual exam, which suggests they may be marginally easier or less punishing in terms of adaptive difficulty. That said, they are excellent for strengthening conceptual clarity and building test stamina. With slightly tighter calibration to the current GMAT level, they would be nearly perfect. Overall, a very strong resource for serious aspirants. Got a 725 and 735 on them but scored 655 on the real test, so definitely easier but also owed to test anxiety I believe.
