I have used the GMAT Club tests as I got it complementary from my Egmat Course. The test are designed to be hard to get the best out of you. So I will highly recommend these to use it to gauge your preparation once you are thorough with concepts Also, the scoring is quite adaptive but it mostly contains hard level questions so you might get pessimistic with your preparation. Just take these scores with a pinch of salt and the huge learning associated with it. The quant test I felt is better aligned rather than Verbal. However you can use both of them as a learning resource. Once you start hitting 47+ in Quant you are ready to rcok on actual gmat

About GMAT Club tests i got to know through one colleague of mine and i have been active on Gmat Club since then . My quants score improved from 39 to 46 , Verbal not that much but definitely some improvement i have seen . I recommend GMAT CLUB Tests for Quants if you want a in your score from 46 to 51.The Solutions provided by Bunuel are nicely explained and you can see other explanations too if you are not satisfied with Bunuel's explanation . You see mostly 750 plus level questions which are very helpful in improving your score. You need to keep an error log for your mistakes and retake the wrong ones through quiz to see if you are comfortable with that type of question.

I am an active member of Gmatclub since past 2 years. I have given gmat couple of times and used verbal as well as quant gmat club tests for my preparation.

Quant Gmat Test Review:
In my experience gmat club quant tests are true representative of real gmat tests in terms of logic and difficulty. However, overall difficulty level of quant test is higher than real test. so if some one is scoring 1-2 points below target score, its okay.

Verbal Test Review:
in my experience, i found verbal tests are better than other Non-official tests but still lack the level of artistry real gmat questions have. So, these tests are good to build stamina and get feel of the exam but should not be used to judge your performance to a greater degree of acuracy.

Before purchasing the test pack, I tried the free CAT and ended up scoring a Q50. But my scores in the official mocks did not exceed Q48. I purchased the test pack. The questions now are more adaptive, and the tests are harder around the end. Would recommend the tests to any serious test taker desirous of scoring a Q49+. The interface mimics that of the actual tests. The analytics can be better. There is also a feature where you can input if you have guesseed the answer. But I'm skeptical about the analytics about "guessed answers" as not everyone would be keen on taking the time to manually input tick whether they had guessed it. Overall, it's a good test pack. You should buy it one month prior to the test date and look at taking one sectional a day.

Verbal test - These are very good comprehensive tests, which will help to increase your Verbal score. The questions were similar to official GMAT questions. However, I recommend to take these test only after completing your basics in CR and SC.

Quant test - These tests helped me a lot to improve my score and provided a good chunk of questions similar to official ones. Taking a test daily one month before your GMAT exam will definitely help you to achieve your desire score.

I personally recommend to take these test and analysis it properly before appearing for GMAT . Do not just go on to complete the course, learn from your mistakes and then only take another test.

The GMAT Club Tests evaluate an aspirant on all fronts, covering each aspect from the wide pool of GMAT Club's question database.
The beauty of this test lies in emulating the similar nature of the algorithm as GMAT does.
However, the verbal questions are NOT up to the mark. They often lack the innate resoluteness (error-free nature) of the actual GMAT-Questions.
Nevertheless, 3 things will ALWAYS work in favor:
1) The user interface, explanations, and analytics are highly intuitive and paramount in deciding the weaker sections.
2) The test can be self-designed in several modes such as Test-mode, Quiz-mode, and Study-mode, providing more freedom to gauge and calibrate the preparation.
3) An aspirant can effortlessly assess himself/herself in the Quant questions and ascertain to the paths of Success!

Pros:
Overall very good for practice. These definitely help in improvement.

1) Enough in quantity(25). But here a con: verbal CATs are very few, though we need more of verbal CATs than quants.

2) Very good difficulty level((This is the best part)).

3) A Big database of Questions.

4) Good Solution and analytics.

5) Close interface to that of actual GMAT.





CONS:

1)GMAT Club tests are Computer-Based but they are not much adaptive. It means their front-end will look like a GMAT Test but the back-end adaptive algorithm is not based upon any adaptive base enough to approximate real GMAT.

2) Very few verbal tests.

3) Sectional tests do not give real test like feeling.


PS: I definitely recommend these tests to Aspirants.

I had given a few GMAT club quant tests before attempting my actual GMAT.
The difficulty level is at par with the actual GMAT test. You will be able to cover all the topics in Quants with the help of these tests. The analysis is also very detailed. However, you cannot trust the actual score that is provided. I dont think they have got the algorithm right. I remember in my second test , even after getting more incorrect easy questions I was able to score higher than my first one. But it is a blessing for people who want to cover all topics in Quants. I am the kind of person who studies via mocks. I lose concentration if I read topic wise. So it was extremely helpful to me.

GMATCLUB.com claims that these are the hardest quant tests in the market, but I respectfully disagree. Manhattan Mocks have difficult quant portion than these tests.

Pros -
1. Large question pool.

2. Questions relevant to the GMAT - one won't find questions which are not relevant to the GMAT. GMATClub must have given great efforts to sort the questions out, more so for the fact that they have a huge number of difficult quant level questions. Almost every difficult and super difficult level question has a solution that would take 2 or at max 3 minutes. This is important since as a GMAT taker one needs to practice GMAT like content.

3. Of all the mocks I have given, except for the official mocks, gmatclub mocks have the closest user interface to the actual gmatprep and the actual GMAT exam.

Cons -
1. Filled with bugs, pausing the test at times just finishes the test thereby awarding a score of 6.

2. GMATclub moderator team - they would block your account for no reason (I was given kudos inflation as the reason). They won't even reply to your queries. I already had the mocks subscribed through e-gmat verbal online and there was no reason for me to indulge in their so called 'kudos inflation'. Now, this was done 2 weeks before my actual GMAT exam and they could give you unnecessary trouble at any moment.

3. Algorithm - It is far from the GMATPrep and hence actual GMAT. It would randomly award you a Q51 or a Q50 with a large number of incorrect questions I once got a Q51 with 10 incorrect answers. Be aware that it doesn't happen in the actual gmatprep - I had given 7 gmatprep mocks (I gave gmatprep 1 twice) and I analyzed those mocks thoroughly. There is a huge, and when I say huge I really mean huge gap between the algorithms of gmatprep and gmatclub. I got Q49 in EP2-2 with 4 incorrect answers (Q no. 17, 25, 36 and 37 incorrect) and a Q51 on EP1-2 with only 2 incorrect (somewhere around 20 and 35). Gmatclub.com algorithm would have awarded a Q51 in both the cases.

4. Verbal - Stick to official content for verbal and if you really want extra practice, one's next and final stop should be the content developed by Manhattan. Don't waste your time on verbal questions from any other content provider and this applies to Gmatclub as well. Lines of reasoning on verbal portion, especially CR and RC, from gmatprep and any other provider is quite different. One may use the gmatclub.com verbal mocks for essentially working on timing issues. However, one should not fret too much on the incorrect questions, particularly if one involves tuning a strategy or approach, since GMAC doesn't think the way others think. The importance of sticking to official content cannot be overstated.

The GMAT Club tests pleasantly surprised me. The quality of the quant questions are top notch (aided no doubt by the user submitted questions) and the analytics are great as well. There is a in built error log that probably needs more work, but it is more than enough for basic use.

The verbal section, though, needs work. OG questions are there, but the selection is largely muddied by the user submitted questions that are generally much worse in quality. I steered clear of the verbal section entirely.

Overall, this is a top notch product for Quants and I'd highly recommend this to any prospective GMAT student.
