The question types are challenging and most likely at a higher difficulty level than the actual GMAT. The questions are good for practicing difficult questions and gauging what sections need the most work. The question pack is good for those who are at the high 600-low 700 level looking to improve their scores. If you are able to answer the higher level quant questions on this website than that is a pretty good indicator that you will do well on the actualy GMAT. The verbal section needs work. Some of the Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction questions are written poorly and do not reflect the verbal style of the actual GMAT.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]
The tests i found here were of the same format of the ones seen in the exams and adapted in the same way to the official ones (level of difficulty, content, etc.). However, with experience, I found that the test results (i.e. grade) differed to the official ones even if the ordering, difficulty and content of the errors was very similar. I find this differences quite relevant when speaking about something as serious as the GMAT score, even if the experience is as close to reality as it gets. I also found that quant questions lacked difficulty when constantly getting the answers right. Having said this, i find it on average cheaper than other GMAT exam providers plus the experience is better than with others, i hope other users enjoy it as much as i did.
Great tests especially in Quant area. Covers all level of difficulties. Feels like writing real GMAT Exam.
The tests which is designed in such a way that it will cover all area of the difficulties and problems
The RC were really good as well. Gmat test provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through RCs. The one strategy that worked wonders for me was "to get good". I would literally tell myself at the beginning of each passage that "Oh! this sounds interesting, lets read what happens next!" I even used the note making approach during RCs quite regularly and was thereby able to get ALL my main point and structure questions right. These strategies seem very time consuming in the beginning, but within no time, you start to internalise them.
cheers!
If I had to sum up the gmatclub tests in one word, it would be "Brilliant". The questions, especially the quants section is tailor made for gmat test takers and is intentionally made a few notches tougher than actual gmat questions. This gave me solid practice and built my confidence when I was tackling real gmat questions. Their test taking interface is also very similar to that of the actual gmat which helps immensely. Another helpful feature is the study mode. This lets you practice questions and review them at your own pace. Once you are confident enough you can move to the exam mode. The moderators have done a fantastic job of building this question bank and I would highly recommend buying the gmatclub exam pack if you are looking for a 700+ with a strong quant score.
Taking One test a day for 26 days, one can get the magical score of 50.It has amazing analytics to gauge one's strengths and weaknesses.
It has some 1500 questions of varying difficulty. With the world-class analytics, this platform is the best for Quants. It pin-points your strenghts and weaknesses, so that you work on them. After all, that is what one needs to crack the GMAT Quants: Play to your strengths and work on your weaknesses. All the questions are answered by Bunuel, and alternative approaches are discussed on the forum with exquisite details. Reviewing each and every question and making your own quizzes for the weak areas comes in handy.
After the end of 1500 questions I felt much more confident in Quants.
However, for some reason my score was varrying between 48-51, which doesn't happen with the actual GMAT algorithm.
Having said that, the interface, the analytics, the questions and the solutions are worth the time spent.
I found the questions very challenging yet satisfying. The verbal exams definitely have something weird going on with the scores but if you ignore the score and concentrate on the material, you can see improvements. Also gives you the confidence that if you do well here, you are pretty much set.
Quant like many say is the star here. The number of tests really makes you not worry about running out of questions, so you can really practice your timing or accuracy depending on your preference. You will also get a disproportional amount of 700 level questions, but they will be stacked together which simulates the GMAT as well as possible. Again if you are scoring high here, you can be confident that when you try the official GMAT, you will be finding it much easier.
Overall I have had a really positive experience. The scoring algorithm good dent your confidence a bit, but know that its good in the long run.
It has helped me a lot with all the process of hard preparation. Not only in the quant part (the most useful) but also in the verbal with a los of practice in each section. All the support was awesome. It is sometimes really hard to dedicate a lot of time in the process and so the resources you have to apply must be adequeate and usefull and this was the case. The best verbal parts were CR and RC. So, at the end, i would definitely recommend all this stuff to any friend interested in all the gmat world.
The GMAT club tests are pretty handy when you have exhausted your OG materials. The quants section specifically is a very good exercise platform for GMAT. The questions are one or two notches tougher than the original exam. But, they are mighty effective in enhancing the quants skill-set. I also liked their Verbal section as the questions are very carefully prepared for the final day. The sentence correction is very precise and the questions hit the required concepts nicely. The CR and RC sections are also good and can be utilized when OG questions are exhausted. With that I wish everyone best of luck!!!!
Cheers
I have to admit that the GMAT Club Tests are very difficult and do not be disappointed to see lower scores especially Quant scores in the GMAT Club tests. Despite not reflecting the actual test, these tests have an advantage that it will be easier for the candidate to crack the actual test having practiced with difficult ones. The test sharpens the skill to look out for prominent and silly mistakes that even an erudite can make. This will be a great tool to revise and practice after learning the basics, while it will be in vain otherwise. Overall, its worth a shot.
