GMAT Club is an aggregation of students and Test prep companies. GMAT Club just like all Forums is having two sides. One side which provides free information to students, and the other side is about promoting or demoting Test prep companies.
Students should be very attentive in all these forums because they are actually creating a pseudo world to promote the partner Test prep companies.
Points to check:
1. GMAT Club is a partner to many Test Prep namely e-GMAT & EmpowerGMAT. Basically it means that the forum acts as a front-end of theses firms.
2. There is a saying: For someone to win, others have to lose. GMAT Club also do the same thing. If there are 10 good reviews and 5 bad reviews about their partner, then all 5 bad reviews would be removed. And in case of the companies which are not their partners, all good reviews would be removed to paint them in bad light.
3. Simple rule of Business: If you are commercially involved with Test prep companies, then in no way you can be Honest.
4. Verified Reviews: The simple analogy is a “Robber guarding a Bank and asking us to believe his honesty”.
5. The idea of these forums is to control the information and promote their partners and also getting commissions.
6. Many times, we see their moderators also promoting their partners and also saying bad things about others. You can see all sort of examples in these forums where you will feel that moderators are creating a false world for students.
7. Founder “BB” can be seen in many discussions speaking good about GMAT Club Partners and speaking against others.
8. Test Prep companies Reviews are removed and Reviewers are also banned, to promote their partners namely e-GMAT & empowerGMAT.
Quant questions are up to the mark, with 700+ level questions imitating the hardness level as faced during the test day. CATs user interface and the timer resembles the actual test interface and thus provides a before hand feel of the actual test setting thus minimizing the 'surprise factor' on the actual test day. Instead of having a separate question pool for each test, GMAT Club tests have a very large single pool of questions, thus there is no reason to reset each individual test. Unique questions and each question has its own analytics and shows you details about your performance and also that of other test takers.
Highly recommended.
There are 35 test (26 quant+9verbal).Practising these 26 quant is enough for scoring the good score in the GMAT quant .They covers all the topics of quant from P and C to geometry ,helping in developing the good command in the quant .700 level questions are very tricky .Tricks learned by solving these question is very helpful in GMAT exam as these tricks helps to reduce the time for solving the higher level questions.
9Verbal test are very good practice for GMAT verbal .The level of questions of the SC and RC are very good. Practising these test helped me getting the better command in the verbal section .
Good for practicing customized tests and quizzes, but some times I got repeated questions both in quant and verbal and the concept of encashing the points to buy GMAT club tests is really great....Finally they are good for day to day practise, and the detailed solutions by bunnel for quant were just awesome and linking the discussion page of each question in the GMAT club tests helps one in reducing time in googling again separately . And also the discussion forum below every question is also very engaging, helps in making you feel that you are not alone in getting stupid doubts some times.
By using the points i received as rewards for various activities i was able to redeem GC TEST for 2 weeks. At first since it very new I was little skeptical about the tests. Though they offer 25 quants and 9 verbal CAT'S I wasn't sure how would I receive my progress. But I was wrong.
For quants these tests are amazing, they use a large pool of questions from which you will tested. A detailed analysis will be provided on the correct no of questions, taken taken, average time taken on correct questions, average time taken on wrong questions, progess in a graph from the beginning what scores did i achieve the mistakes i made. You can even make quizez out these questions too. Verbal is a little shy but lots of room for improvement!
There is no alternate to Gmat club tests when it comes to quant. It has been worked out so well that you would see the efforts put on it by the team. full rating for quant. Very well relevant with the kind of questions expected in real test once you are in the 48-51 zone. You wont feel the need if you are below this level. All the questions feel very relevant when you are sitting at the exam. I would say that verbal section needs a revamp with questions that dont deviate from the real test questions and the exam pattern like the length of rc etc.
The GMAT Club Test is by-far the best after the Official Prep because of the Questions available in the directory. They have more than 1500 Questions to create a test specifically according to our skill level. Would definitely recommend for Q48+. Also, the only lack is the amount of Verbal CATs available. If the number could be made equal to Quant CATs then it is a full package. The level of Quant Questions is really good and would help anyone cover the complete Question spectrum that one can expect on the real GMAT. For anyone aiming 700+ do use the GMAT Club tests for final prep.
GMATClub Tests especially the Quant tests are really priceless. True value. The questions do not want you be Math Wizard ,Rather demand us to be Cautious ( Which is What GMAT is all about) . GMAT Quants are all about how cautious one is and prevent from Silly mistakes. GMATClub Quant tests will prepare one best for the Final battle.I would strongly urge others who are aiming for perfection for Quant must try the tests. Over the span of 26 tests the Quant tests cover each and every topic so nicely that revising your old mocks will help you a lot in your final leg of your preparation. While attempting the Quant question make sure you maintain your Error Log. Then only the Test will serve the purpose.
Was awarded free trial for being a top scorer in a competition which was further extended through a promotion.
math tests are good and must try: Almost every test will force you to learn some new concepts. Actual scores i got on gmat prep were always a notch higher than what i got on gmatclub, the effort put in creating such a elaborate content is commendable
verbal tests are good as well but needs improvement: the smartness of answers and questions need to be more like gmac. Furthermore, the number of questions is limited. So at a point you realize that the test is not asking the questions in topics which are not asked that frequently on gmat.
I purchased GMAT Club Tests Subscription for a period of 3 months and I must say they are a must have for people looking for higher scores and also it helps to understand how to apply concepts learnt in theory in varied ways.
Secondly,It helps to learn shortcuts given by BB which will help during the tests.
Though its 700 level questions are way tougher than actual gmat, its 500 and 600 level questions are the ones that make it unique and even if someone is solving these two category questions they would be able to improve and memorize formulas and concepts.
I would highly recommend GMAT club tests for quants.Verbal Section of this is okay for practicing and managing timings.
