Strengths:

It looks just like the real exam. It is adaptive, and the score report is the same as the real exam.

Would make the product better:

Make the difficulty level the same as the real exam

I have used the GMAC Official Practice Exams extensively while preparing for the GMAT, and while they are helpful for becoming familiar with the exam format, timing, and question types, I do not think they accurately reflect the difficulty level of the real exam. In my experience, the actual GMAT felt noticeably more difficult, particularly in terms of the complexity of the questions and the pressure created by the overall difficulty level.

This is especially frustrating because the official practice exams are supposed to be the most representative preparation material available. Practice scores can therefore create expectations that may not match the experience on test day. I believe GMAC should regularly update the practice exams and ensure that their difficulty and question style are better aligned with the current real exam. For such an important and expensive test, candidates should be able to rely on the official preparation materials as an accurate indication of what they will face on exam day.

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.

Strengths:

> This exam 5 seemed easy to free mock1 & 2 I have purchased.
> Gives good practice of timings and kind of questions
> Can be reset to give you in total 4 tests
> I like that it can be reset - even when the 2 attempts are exhausted to practice timing and pacing

Would make the product better:

> Maybe provide a downloadable format of the test report - in-order for me to share it I need to take screenshots
> For the in-corrects no solution is provided - so you have to depend on Google or anyone who can explain - should provide answers

Overall - I think these 2 are a good hybrid if you are low on cash and want to explore tougher exam pattern. Basis my research ppl find 5 & 6 more tough than 3 & 4 - and it gives a good understanding on how the exam will be on D-day. I was planning to schedule my exam - but the score gave me a check and then 1 decided to schedule it 2 weeks later
Also I am an Indian and while purchasing the exam I faced quite some challenges. You cannot use HDFC - there is some criteria GMAC is not meeting - so it does not allows it. I tried AMEX and AXIs too - they didn't work. Only thing that worked was Kotak credit card enabled for international transitions. I would say before buying the actual slot - this also helps you to understand how payments will work.
