[Tests & Quizzes] GMAT Club Reviews
GMAT Club Tests offer hard Quant CAT tests and a smaller number of verbal tests (over 1,100 quant questions and 388 verbal questions). The questions are generally above average difficulty though some easier ones have been introduced as well. You can see the exact distribution of questions here. To learn about the scoring algorithm precision, please see this discussion. Finally, GMAT Club tests require a subscription but 10 days a year, we offer them for free on US public holidays.

I have given the GMAT thrice. The first time I used only the OG and landed up with a Q46 - majorly because I ran out of time and couldn't answer the last 5 Quant questions.
The second time, I did the OG and the OG supplement (quant review), but still couldn't go beyond Q48. It seemed I had learnt everything, but I was still blank on a few questions.
This year though, I read review and decided to buy the tests. Because I didn't have much time before the GMAT, I could complete only 8-10 of the GMATClub quant tests, but, oh boy, they made a WORLD of difference. What they did was, made me comfortable with each question type and helped me pace. It helped that the interface is exactly like the GMAT.
There is a bug though - when you switch to practice mode, the timer's label is changed but the direction of timer isn't. The only other con is that some questions may not exactly be 'GMAT' types, but these are rare - so if you're stuck at a question / concepts seems absolutely alien - check out the question stats. If the timer says average for all GC users is over 4-5 minutes, chances are that question wouldn't appear on the real test.
All in all, I would say GC tests had a BIG role in me going Q48 to Q50, would definitely recommend!

Gmat club tests are most reliable tests, vetted by Genius Bunuel himself. In my experience while preparing for my Gmat i have been using these tests where i used to score Quant 42-48 and verbal average 30 .Quant tests are very useful to learn/approach advanced questions and to refine one's skills and pacing. They also provide difficulty level of questions where you went wrong in Results. A candidate can choose his modes according to his comfort and can move forward accordingly. It also contains charts and graphs which gives an in depth analysis of your performance .
I recommed GMATCLUB quant tests to anyone who want to fine tune his skills and reach 50+.

Gmat club tests are most reliable tests.Quant tests are a must for anyone targeting 48 and above.It is very useful to learn/approach advanced questions and to refine one's skills and pacing.The explanations for each of the questions and the technique is super. The type of questions matches those of the actual GMAT.Moreover explanations provided makes it possible to solve any 700+ question in under 2 minutes.
They also provide difficulty level of questions where you went wrong in Results.Performance analysis and various different data helps to improve our score and concentrate on weaker areas.
It will be really helpful if we were provided full length mock exams in addition to Quant & verbal tests!.
I would recommend the gmatclub tests for one's preparation towards the GMAT.

When I took the first GMAT Club Quants Tests, I scored a mere 44. I realised that achieving a 50-51 on Quants is not just about being strong in Maths. GMAT Club Tests test you on the most difficult areas and prepare you for the worst of the situations. GMATClub Tests helped me move from a 44 on mocks to a 50 on real GMAT If anyone plans to score north of 50 on quants, GMAT CLUB tests are a must. Don't be disheartened by the low scores on the GMATClub Tests. The explanation given for each question is flawless and helps to clear the concepts. The average score on GMATClub Tests is the actual measure of the scores on the real test.

I got the gmat club tests along with the e-gmat course. I used to make sure i take one quant test every 2 weeks during my prep. I did not touch the verbal tests to be honest (since I had a lot of stuff to cover for verbal anyway).
I was pretty confident about my quant skills and used gmat club tests to cover any cracks in my math concepts. I used to score on an avg of Q50 in my gmat club quant tests.
I would say dont worry about the score too much, but make sure you spend enough time reviewing your mistakes.

I wish I had discovered these tests right at the beginning of my preparation. The quality of the questions for the 26 quant tests is unmatched . These tests give the best return on investment. The questions as such are not as tough and do not involve lots of lengthy calculations like those on Manhattan tests, but all the questions are super tricky and challenging. I sometimes felt too frustrated when I did not fare well in quite a lot of these tests, but my failures and diligence to improve on the subsequent tests prepared me for the real thing. On a good day, I scored anywhere from 44-50 on these tests and I scored Q49 on the real thing. However, at times (several of them) I could not even cross 30. So my advice is that do not feel disheartened during the first few quant tests if you do not score decently, but continue to learn from your mistakes and you will surely see the difference later.
Verbal Review: The verbal tests were not bad, I attempted them all. I used them as additional material to challenge myself with verbal logic. However, the underlying logic in the questions (especially SC) was not at all similar to the questions on the real GMAT. I could hardly cross V30 on any of the verbal tests, except a couple of them. I got V41 on the real thing. So I would advice you to not rely so much on the Verbal tests.

I got subscription of GMAT Club test when I purchased the e-gmat course.The CATs seem to be really good and among both the sections I really feel that the quant section is a bit harder than the actual test but that is always better.The answer explanation to each question is so elaborative.With GMAT Club test I have been able to improve in areas like combinatorics and absolute values.Since I scored aQ46 on my last GMAT test,I am looking forward to improve my quant score to Q50-51.
Personally I would recommend GCTs to anyone who is looking forward to score a Q51 in quant.

[Quant tests review]
For Gmat quant, you do not need any extra practice besides what the GMAT club tests provide. You will get upwards of 25 tests that are more than ample practice. In addition, you also get super useful analysis( weak areas, timing, how others are performing). My weak sections were inequalities and absolute values.
Deep diving, I would also say that the 600 level questions are more like 680-690 level. Extremely useful practice. No prep provider comes close. The questions generally are on the tougher side. Questions here test 2-3 concepts per question whereas the real GMAT/GMAT prep tests 1-2 concepts per question.
The real learning lies in 700 level questions. Quite a few questions are of the >750 level. Questions are pure class. A lot of thinking has gone behind each question.
Long story short, do all the tests, analyse each question, repeat till the concepts are 2nd nature and a score of >Q48 is assured. Put in alittle more effort a score of Q50-51 would not look so difficult.

I found these tests to be really helpful especially the math questions. They are very representative of the real questions and the score. My math tests averaged to 49 to 50 and I actually got a 49 on the real test. Verbal is pretty good too but I think they can do a better job at explanations. I don't find the explanations as helpful. I also used Magoosh and Manhattan and found that gmat clubs math questions are the most helpful when it comes to the actual exam. I wish they change up the verbal questions more often though because after three months of practicing I begin to reconize a lot of the same questions

Hello All,
I would like to brief about my experience of using Gmat club tests, specially quants.
These are an amazing set of CATs one has access to. It goes beyond what other tests offer even gmat prep quants.
It has questions with those subtle variation in meaning one can easily miss. Bunel is a great Math expert. His solutions always make me wonder how a question can be solved in such a brilliant way.I personally felt a great difference when I practiced those. Initially it will be tough but as you pick up you will start scoring in 48-49 .Personally, these tests are an asset to people targetting Q49+.
For verbal, it has some really difficult SC questions which you should solve only during latter part of your preparation.
One biggest advantage that the Gmat club tests offer is that they ahve the same look and feel of gmat prep and official gmat. It makes you used to the UI and you get more confident in the process.
I love these tests and I am gonna stick to gmatclub forever !
Hi Aanch24,
Your review mentioning that you couldn’t cross 30 on some days is like a breath of life for me at the moment - I’m done with 12 GMAT club Quant Tests and have scored above 40 in 6 of them. The scores range from 40-46.
In the rest, I’ve scored in the high 30’s (above 36). I’m so discouraged and frustrated because I have my actual exam in 20 days and my target score is Q49! I received a Q46 in the last GMATPrep mock I gave (no repeat questions but lots of silly mistakes due to nerves).
Can you post your range of scores in the GMATClub Tests? Also, any advice on how to get the most out of them?
Thank you!
Chinmoi
