The explanations provided also help you uncover many shortcuts and help strengthen your core concepts. On thorough analysis of each question types, once could find similar questions in GMAT exam. The questions are framed in away to enhance one's basic skills and foundation in Quants. Though I am not sure whether the verbal tests are worth trying, I found them to be very demotivating.
very effective and planned.
Helps improve Quant concepts . These 25 mock tests helps one to understand in depth what GMAT expects from its students.
The detailed analysis of each question is also a major factor that helps in improving the over all Quant score.
The quant part of the CAT have the best questions that you will find anywhere. And it's not just the questions themselves, the explanations provided also help you uncover many shortcuts and help strengthen your core concepts.
Anyway thanks again for your review, and if you (or anyone reading this) has any recommendations for the best verbal questions / answers & explanations, please let me know!
Short: Quant tests are must have to get Q>48 (earn them or buy them, they are worth it)
Verbal Tests, can't really comment. Just don't waste your time getting depressed about the score!
I improved from Q45 to Q49 thanks to GMATClub Tests.
The questions are logical, and simple OE makes you dumbfounded.
Although all questions are good, the question difficulty is not properly distributed for the tests I guess. I got 15 500-level, 15 600-level and 8 700-level questions in one test, I got 5 correct from 8 700 level questions. This test gave me Q36, and this is after I scored Q49, Q49, Q50 in previous tests.
Nevertheless, all the questions teach you something and this makes the Quant Tests must have to get that Q50/Q51in the GMAT.
Talking about verbal tests, everyone bashes them! I also cursed Verbal Tests as I scored V31 in 3 tests, whereas I was scoring >V35 in GMATPrep/Kaplan/Economist tests, But I was shocked to see V30 on GMAT. So for me they were pretty accurate!
Still I don't like GMATClub Verbal tests, there's something off about it. For example- I scored V45 in one verbal test! how can anyone justify that!

I started my journey in Jan-16 with my coaching class for GMAT preparation . The thought was clear but I wasn't able to come to the right path and track. I started reading Gmat Club reviews , practiced some questions from July-16 . Though it was late but not least effort. Gmat Club helped to understand the concepts well . Section-wise tests give the clear picture where we can put more effort. I am still in continuation in my journey and I am sure I will get best this time . Thanks to Gmat Club founder for creating such a big platform which is very helpful for working professionals like us.
Overall GMAT club tests are helpful if someone is targeting a score of 50/51 in Quant.
I ll list the pros & cons (majorly Pros) -
1. The level of question (700+) is higher than the ones you vl c on actual test so it gives a good practice with timing. ( You will feel more confident with the actual questions & will b in a better position to solve).
2. Explanation is really nice.
3. Wide Variety of Questions
4. Teaches to use shortcuts & back solve the problems.
Cons - I could not get the scoring algorithm. I have scored 50 with 10 incorrect questions & 49 with 6 Incorrect questions.
Overall the tests are really nice & good to practice before the actual test. ( Not to be disappointed if you dont get all the 700+ questions).

I would like to review the GMATClub Tests in terms of two parameters-
Disclaimer: I have taken a few untimed tests (yes - a great function to use the flexibility of taking test timed or untimed.)
Content- I liked the rigour of both Quant as well Verbal CATs. I hope it was on a tougher side compared to the real GMAT tests as it has the majority of questions of 700 level.
But I would have liked to see a comparable score based on the difficulty of the question.
Functionality- The MY PERFORMANCE tab has various super useful functionalities such as creating a custom quiz out of attempted test, sorting and filtering based on various parameters and etc.
An option with combined verbal and quant test would be like a cherry on the cake.
Thanks
I must say that verbal as well as quant questions in the gmatclub test provides me the best oppurtunity to experience gmat like questions while preparation. I had given many verbal and quant gmatclub test and assess my performance and found that questions appear in the gmatclub test are mostly similar to the actual gmat test. Also I have given many tests other than gmat club test but I beleive that gmat club test provide the most relevant question which gives me a feeling of reat gmat test. Explanations are also quite profound in nature. I want to thank GMATclub for such an comprehensive test series.
I would highly recommend anyone who is preparing for gmat to join gmat club for their test. I dont think anyone else can provide you such an excellent tool as gmatclub is providing.
GMAT Club Tests do many things well, but perhaps most important of all is its focus on logging errors, and working on isolating mistakes that would be costly in a test scenario.
With unstructured practice, a student risks making the same mistakes over again, all the while unsure on which topics they are strong at and which ones are a weakness. With GMAT Club Tests, there is no ambiguity. With each completed problem set, you give the program more and more information on how to improve.
I would recommend pairing this program with a book on theory, so you can spend some time improving your core skills when you do isolate a problem error. After reviewing such a problem topic, I felt much more confident in my ability to answer the questions going forward.
I would highly recommend this software to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score - it really is top notch.

GMAT Clubs Tests offer very Real GMAT like experience. I strongly recommend the test series to all test takers. The test series is, by far, the best test series available.
Quant Section
The Quant Sectional tests contain questions very similar to those appearing in the Official test. The in depth forum discussion of problems and the corresponding solutions adds a lot of value while preparing for the test. Practicing very difficult problems is of very little value - something that most test takers do and eventually get demotivated during Test Prep. GMAT is all about practicing as many GMAT like questions as possible - ONLY GMAT Club Tests come near the Official Guide in this aspect. The analysis of problems in the forum is simply invaluable. GMAT Club Tests are a MUST HAVE for all test takers aiming for a Q50/51.
Additionally, these tests help you to build endurance required for the Quant section. I have noticed that after taking several tests, I can now finish the Quant section in 65 to 70 min.
If you're aiming for a Q50/51, you simply cannot afford to miss these tests.
Verbal Section
Contrary to several reviewers, I do not believe that Verbal section is any less effective than the Quant Section. We must realize that, unlike the Quant Section, Verbal Section encompasses several topics - Sentence Correction alone demands learning obscure Grammar rules. I strongly believe that Verbal tests are equally good. However, I have some reservation on the scoring algorithm of the verbal section. On GMATPrep tests, I can score 40+ with 8 to 10 incorrect mistakes; In GMAT Club tests, however, such number of incorrect responses warrants a score well below 40. But, I am happy with a slightly deflated score because it keeps me grounded and competitive. Please make sure you go through the forum discussions - you'll most definitely learn several new things. Books always do not teach you everything.
After giving my first GMAT, I realized I needed to work on my Quant skills in general and improve my timing. After some amount of research I decided to go ahead and subscribe to the GMAT Club test my paying the subscription fee. I can confidently say that it worth the money spent!
The questions I did were mostly quant, as I was scoring in the low 40's in verbal and was fairly confident in my verbal abilities. The questions, explanations and the screen layout (resembling the actual test) helped me get accustomed to the exam situation.
Taking the Club test, according to my opinion is why I was able to boost my score by 20 points. I did not use any new material and relied on the OG and Manhattan Books.
Highly recommend the test to those who want to practice the tough questions and improve on timing strategy. Best of Luck!
