While the quant tests are excellent I am hesitant to recommend the verbal tests. The questions are not always of the type you would expect to find in GMAT and there seem to be very few official questions. I believe the difference between the GMAT club quant and verbal tests is due to the difficulty of creating original GMAT-like verbal questions. Perhaps GMAT club could try and incorporate more official questions into their bank.
Ultimately, I recommend using GMAT club for quant tests and finding another resource for verbal tests. Your source of revision materials will also depend on whether you are a native or non-native speaker.
Hi, have been using the GMATClub tests since quite some time- overall, my experience has been very good. Quants is excellent- 25 mock tests are way more than sufficient. Majority of the questions also have good explanations, however few of them are very short- I suggest the explanations be a bit more details for all questions, also provide alternative ways to the solution for all questions (MGMAT scores there). But overall- GMATClub quant tests are must do! Now coming to verbal- same feedback with respect to improvement i.e overall explanations are good, but few lack the detail- but having said that, the bigger problem is much fewer tests- only 8 tests! That’s really less- especially for very weak verbal candidates like myself- actually I would not mind having lower quant tests (something like 15 to 20 would do), and equal number of verbal tests (15 upwards please). Also please have an IR paper (not much- just 5 of it having real exam feel). Although I know there are no AWA currently available in test format- I must admit I did not miss it since various forums of GMAT do a good job at handling that . However having said that I did not have the same feeling for IR. Coming to the interface and analytics- I am blown to tell you the truth- wish I could do more analysis than what I did. The amount of analysis that can be done on one’s past exams based on your interface is very exhaustive- unfortunately, I used less than 1 pct of its capability. ATB guys…
These tests are a gold mine, especially when it comes to quant. The questions are difficult and prep you up for the worst. The tests will help you to improve speed and conceptual knowledge.
I would urge anyone using these to not get bogged down by the scores as these tests are diffucult.Just focus on the content and try and do the one that you get wrong. This will help you to ace the quant section. Those who are targeting a Q50 or a Q51 these tests are ideal. i would suggest that anyone hitting a q47 and above on the official tests must try these tests
I thought the quant questions were quite challenging and were very helpful in my review.
I did have a few problems with the explanations. I thought they were quite brief in the sense that they assumed a lot of things (in order for you to understand it). Also I think most of the explanations focused on the 'correct' way of doing the problem, rather than showing tips, tricks, or shortcuts to get to the same answer.
The interface is also quite clunky. Once in practice mode you need to show the answer before you can answer and just look at the explanation, this makes it pretty tedious and is not very intuitive.
I got access to these tests as part of my e-GMAT course enrollment. The Quant Section has about 26 practice tests and the Verbal section has 9 practice tests.
The user interface is pretty simple and has added fucntionalities and statistics to assist you in identifying you strong and weak areas. If you utilize these tools efficiently, it can help you improve by atleast 30/40 points on the GMAT.
The quant practice tests are comprehensive and include quality sums which test various spheres of your quant understanding. However, the verbal practice tests fall short of expectations. While i expected the format to mirror the actual GMAT, they fell short by completely going off-track. I remember appearing for 2 verbal tests in which there were no RC questions. This is unlike the GMAT where there 3 RC passages for verbal. Apart from this, the questions were of good quality.
i recommend these tests for anyone who wishes to improve their quant score and practice verbal.
The tests from GMAT clubs consists of many varieties of question which tests your basic and advanced concepts that is more than enough for the real gmat. The Quant part is very strong and covers a good amount of questions for algebra and permuatations and combinations. However i felt that the verbal part could have been made more strong by including relevant questions to mimic the real gmat. The tests should also include the AWA writing and the IR which will help the test takers improve their overall performance on GMAT. Nevertheless the volume of materials available is sufficient to shoot you across the 650 barrier easily

Overall it is a good tool to practice. It gives you information about your, averages, percentages, etc. However, sometimes it feels like the questions are not well written as in a real GMAT. Sometimes a question gets tricky but too much to a point that it gets confusing without a clear objective, especially in the verbal section. In the last exam I took, many of the SC questions were too long, too many long options, and very heavy on vocabulary. I know a 700 question has to be challenging but not obscure. But as I said, it is a good program over all.
