The GMAT Club tests have been quite useful for me. The quant questions are really hard and I never timed my quant CAT's because its almost impossible to finish them on time. I tried a few verbal questions, but its better to stick to other sources as IMO, they are not representative of the actual tests. The main value of these tests come in the quant section. Solving these problems helps to understand the core concepts. It would be better if they have an option to extend GMAT Club tests for cheaper. At 50 bucks, they don't come cheap but if you use this resource properly, it will help you a lot.
Hello everyone,
I am 35 year male from India. I have around 14 years of work experience in IT industry. Last year I wrote my GMAT on 15 jun.
I scored 600(Q50 V21). Although I could not score my dream score because of my pathetic performance in verbal but I am happy that I scored very well in Quant section.
I scored so pathetic in verbal as I have not even scored in my mocks. I am not here to promote GMAT club test but I am here to bring the realty in front.
I scored Q 47 in mocks . I started preparing with GMAT Club quant tests and after few tests I started scoring Q49 or Q50.
GMAT club Q tests are harder than real gmat test but these would bring your level so high that you will not feel pressurised in real exam.In real exam , I scored 50 and I give whole credit to gclub q test. I would recommend these to everyone who want to score Q49 and above.
Thanks and good luck
I am very much satisfied with quant. There are lot of challenging questions in quant and these questions make you ready for main test; I hope in future we could also have video lessons for advance material.
If there were more questions on average, weighted average, median etc. (more of statistics) 500,600,700 level, it would have been great. Actually i am sorting out all the questions from GMAT club, and it's taking time.
I am not fond of SC here. I see a lot of similarity with MGMAT. CR is good, perhaps you could have added more Bold faced questions, and more flaw questions.
RC is good practice. Tough ones are really tough. Enjoying my prep.
Overall great prep experience
Overall Feedback:
Test Simulation is great. Performance analysis is also good.
Verbal Feedback:
I have given all the verbal CATs from GMAT Club Tests. I found the quality of questions, specifically in Sentence Correction (SC) and Reading Comprehension (RC) is poor and does not judge your performance as done by GMAT Official Exam. Also the number of questions are not enough to practice (There are approximately 450 total questions, which I feel are very less to prepare for GMAT exam). SC questions check you on concepts which are not very relevant for GMAT and skip concepts which are important. CR questions are good though and matches with GMAT level to some extent.
Quant Feedback:
One of the best I have seen. 700 level questions are the best to score a Q50+ score. Number of questions are good enough (1150 total) for any person, be a repeater or a fresher. Explanation given at the end of every question is a great help.
The GMAT Club Tests gives you opportunity to get accustomed with the real GMAT tests. The question level is also almost same as the real one. Quants contain a variety of questions, which would help you to do better and improve yourself. The questions are generally above average difficulty though some easier ones have been introduced as well. Although the questions themselves were top notch, the scoring algorithm seemed to be a little off. My quant scores in the CATs were a little spread out (45-50) and the hard questions keep coming at you from around the first 5 questions, which wouldn't usually happen in the real exam. So you might find yourself running out of time, but again, this should be good for practice. With all these pros and cons, I used my GmatClub tests subscription for 6 months and then I had renewed it for another 6 months. Simply because practicing the quant section really helped boost my confidence.

I would like to review the GMATClub Tests in terms of two parameters-
Disclaimer: I have taken a few untimed tests (yes - a great function to use the flexibility of taking test timed or untimed.)
Content- I liked the rigour of both Quant as well Verbal CATs. I hope it was on a tougher side compared to the real GMAT tests as it has the majority of questions of 700 level.
But I would have liked to see a comparable score based on the difficulty of the question.
Functionality- The MY PERFORMANCE tab has various super useful functionalities such as creating a custom quiz out of attempted test, sorting and filtering based on various parameters and etc.
An option with combined verbal and quant test would be like a cherry on the cake.
Thanks
The variety of questions in the GMAT club tests along with the GMAC free tests is sufficient for GMAT. The quant section of the GMAT club tests I feel is harder than the real GMAT. The best thing about these tests is that they mimic the GMAT completely. The tests are pretty accurate in predicting the scores. I found the filter of question difficulty level divided into 500, 600 and 700, as one of the best features.The explanation to every question in the test is very well put. Can the explanation give a gist of theory or at least a link to the theory that the question caters to? This will help in quick revision of the topic concerned.

GMAT Club Quant tests have been incredibly useful and helping me to increase my timing on and understanding of 700-level questions. The major drawback is the mistake analysis section, which doesn't allow the user to compare performance on the same question formats across many tests that had been taken. For instance, it would be great to see what is the ratio/level of right/wrong answers in combinatorics in my last 5 Quant tests. In some way, Manhattan GMAT has a similar analytical tool on its website when you take multiple tests. Basically, it would be great to track my progress in specific sections of the Quant that I feel need improvement.
This is the first ever product I have tried from the GMAT club and I can safely say that I absolutely love it. A few things I specially want to highlight:
> Detailed Analysis: Each test comes with a detailed analysis and easy to sort/filter table view of all the correct/incorrect answers
> Easy to Download: You can save PDF and Excel copies of the test results to track progress.
> Multiple Answer explanations: The answers have been linked to various GMAT club pages where more than one explanation has been given.
> New Important Concepts: There were many concepts which I found after looking at the answers of a wrong question.
Maths Tests:
The GMAT Club Maths/Quant tests just as every other person on the forum states, are pretty good. I would not say that the questions are extremely difficult, but rather that some of the questions are of a really good level. The good part about the tests is that there are a lot of 700+ level questions which makes the tests overall may be a little more difficult than the actual GMAT.
These exams if properly practised will help you improve your score.
Verbal:
I found the verbal tests to be not exactly in line with the actual GMAT. My scores were also not consistent. Ranging from a mere 24 to a 38, whereas my scores on the GMAT Prep exams has been pretty much around 37-38. So there might be a lot of people thinking that their preparation is lacking, just because they scored less here. But it's not a true indication of the actual score you will get. So just practice these questions and look at the solutions.
