Good pool of questions. Best part is the explanations are convincing. Covers all the concepts. But still, I'm not very sure about the relevance of the scores to actual scoring pattern.
On 1 test i got 12 wrong and I still got V37, but in GMAT Prep test I got 7 wrongs and I got V32. Both are well acclaimed but can't say which one is appropriate.
Although, if I talk about the no. of questions and diversification of questions, I would rate it 9 on 10. Its the single best source that I've found, if we talk in terms of quantity and quality.
To summarize I would rate it as relatively best source for preparation.
All the tests were very good and quite helpful in getting an experience similar to the main GMAT Test. I would highly recommend GMAT test to the beginners so that they get an experience similar to that of the Main exam. The difficulty level of both Quant and Verbal sections seemed similar to that of the Main test. However, I scored around 690 in GMAT Club test but my actual score was quite lower.
I would like to advise that GMAT Club to introduce at least few full tests (including AWA and IR) similar to GMAT Prep.
Great Job!
Thanks!

* 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!
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.
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.
The real gist of GMAT Club tests is in its Quants Tests. Quants tests are very helpful and very well in line of what can be expected in GMATPrep and actual GMAT exam. The helpful UI representation also helps to identify your weak areas and error analysis.
Verbal tests also are very helpful and justifies the true level of GMAT.
All the verbal and quant tests are actually +1 level than actual GMAT. This really helps us to increase your strength beyond what is expected at GMAT.
Suggestion- It would be great if GMAT Club increases number of tests available for verbal. For quants we have 26 tests but for verbal only 8 or 9.
One of the best feature of GMAT Club Test is how exactly it reflects the actual GMAT test. The explanations provided in the answers section hits the exact concept and makes them easier to retain. Also the discussion forum of that question are linked to each problem which clears all doubt . Also the pool of question is very well formed. If you go through all the mock tests, atleast 50% of your prep is done. If you go through the club tests coupled with the OG most of your job is done. Take once it every weekend and review immediately for the optimum effect.
What's good about these tests:
You'll get a detailed analysis of your tests. Thousands of good quality quant questions, with great detailed answers. Topic wise analysis will show you how you your weak areas. You'll learn a lot from all the professionally written high quality answers. Timed 25+ tests will help you build the strength necessary for exam. Difficulty of some of the question is as good as actual GMAT test. It will help you clarify your doubts and work on your weak areas.
What's bad about these tests:
Verbal tests are not well written at all. I scored disheartening v28, ridiculously less than gmat prep and many other tests. Simply DON'T use it for verbal preparation. No option to practise IR questions.
