I had heard and read a lot about the GMAT club quant tests. People claimed it to be the magic elixir needed to cross the coveted Q50 mark in the GMAT exam. Hence after a lot of research I decided to rely on these tests. And believe me I wasn't disappointed. If you are aiming for a 700+ then these are the questions you need to really to practice. The level of questions and the explanations/shortcuts by Bunnel are all that you need to be fully confident of your Quant preparation. The questions can be practiced as sectional tests(containing 41 questions as in the actual exam) or as customized tests. This gives you the flexibility to practice the questions at will and learn in your own time.

* Quantiative Tests
Along with Manhattan CATs, GMATCLUB Quantitative Tests are of my favourite. Thank to the question pools of quantitative, I got 49 in Quantitative section. The percentage of tough/difficult questions is high compared to the low-level one's. That might make us acquainted to 700+ questions in real tests (honestly I think that the 700+ questions of real test is not as difficult as GMATCLUB Tests's ones).
The negative sides of the quantitative questions is:
_ The explanations are sometimes not easy to consume.
_ The questions of graphs (Quadratic Equation) and coordination geometry is quite rare.
_ Few questions are unnecessarily difficult.
* Verbal
_ If all you want is to improve your verbal points. Don't opt for GMATCLUB Tests. To be honest, it does not have a good question pool of verbals. The real verbal questions are not like the ones of the GMATCLUB Tests. Some questions are weird and their explanation are even more weird :).
Having said that, GMATCLUB Tests are still worthwhile. However the pricing is quite expensive to premium members or the one who has already purchased GMAT Toolkit. It should discount more for the ones who either purchase any product from GMATCLUB.
Hello Everyone,
My 2 cents about the GMAT club test:
Quant - GMAT club test are really a great source for practice for Quant. It will really help you understand how to approach question and test your abilities. I have just finished 5 of them (scored 660 in last GMAT attempt - i have been preparing for roughly an year) and can see the areas i missed in my preparation.
Verbal - Didn't feel helpful as the questions don't seem like GMAT type question. I would focus on rather practice from the questions posted here (http://gmatclub.com/forum/reading-comprehension-question-directory-topic-difficulty-129341.html
) in a timed manner.
So use GMAT Test for quant preparation and learn from it.
Best of luck to all GMAT aspirants. :)
the gmat club provides around 26 quant and 9 verbal tests
both quant and verbal questions are superb and high quality with full detailed explanation.
you can also pause the tests when in case of any issue and resume it later.
the performance is shown graphically clearly showing where we were and how much have we improved .
also on basis of you last verbal and quant test a cummulative score is calculated which you can expect in real gmat exam too.
the quality of questions is very high and there are no mistakes.
i tried the tests and now i can proudly ay without them my preparation would seem incomplete.
Cheers!
I have been taking up some of the Quant tests by GMAT Club and they are certainly better than anything out there. They are highly recommended! Though I haven't been able to take all the tests yet, but I can easily vouch for the top-notch quality and content of the tests. Add to that, well-detailed answers by Bunuel. Though they are tougher than their GMAT Prep counterparts, but it is actually worth all the pain since they claim to prepare you for Q50/51 and I won't detest that as well. Go for them if you need some good practice and some concepts that you might have skipped thinking they are some notches higher than the usual GMAT training stuff.
In my opinion the GMAT Club Tests are great. The similarities in the format with the GMAC exams are awesome. Note I'm talking about the format.
When talking about the algorithm that measure your accuracy and in response give you a harder or easier problem I think there is space for improvement.
The quality of the problems in general is great. I was very surprised when I first took a GMAT Club Tests. On the other hand, 1 out of 10 of the solutions offered in the tests aren't detailed enough. Let's say there are 5 steps of reasoning for the whole exercise and you only put for example. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th. In my opinion I wasted too much time trying to find that 4th step and since I own a business I do feel I’m wasting time even though I also feel that trying to find that 4th step helps me to be more focus.
Another thing I found helpful are the comments below, when I find the solution useless I scroll down and MOST of the times I could find a good explanation.
Hope my review helps you to improve GmatClub Test.
Gmat Club Quant tests are one of the closest to the real test experience. The scoring is almost same as the real test as well. These are one of the best source to practice quant along with the regular OG questions
Gmat Club Verbal tests are again pretty good, however not that accurate as the quant tests in term of being close to real test experience. Having said that they are again extremely good to practice and get ones rhythm going. Only thing i felt was that the explanations could have been a notch better in these tests.
Overall these tests of worth every penny you spend on them.
The GMAT Club tests are an important tool for your test prep. The quant tests will prepare you for more than you could ever see on the actual GMAT. They obviously have a different style than that of the official content, but still is valuable practice. Every question has a detailed solution along with a thread attached with discussions of the problem. This was significant for me to learn alternate methods to solve problems or think about problems from different aspects.
The only the approvement I could recommend would be to put more into the verbal content to bring it to the same level as the quant content.
I haven't gone through that many tests yet, because i was primarily concerned with mastering the concepts for both quant and verbal, but i can say that your test are quite good, but with some minor flaws. I have started going through verbal tests at first and to me they seemed a little bit inconsistent. Sentence correction questions are good as well as the explanations, but critical reasoning have some gaps in them. Some of them seem to be structered in a confusing way in comparison to OG questions. And the explanations don't provide much insight. Reading comprehension is ok. As for the quant questions, the problems are clear and structured well, but the explanations are sometimes very short and hard to undertsand.

Gmatclub tests were an amazing supplement to my study course to take shorter tests where I could really zoom in and analyze my mistakes. In longer tests initially you tend to make silly mistakes till you get used to the length so these tests really help you test your level and improve upon it. The quant section is also very strongly representative of the real gmat level - I would suggest to really take a few of the quant tests leading to the weeks before gmat rather than just focusing on gmatprep tests which some people tend to do because gmatprep is at a slightly lower level than the questions you get during the actual gmat where your level keeps increasing if you get questions right.
