Strengths:
Forum Quiz offers extensive topic-specific practice with a variety of questions and the timed practice function helped my test-taking abilities, especially for quant.
Would make the product better:
I wish they provided the option to practice only OG questions and improve the entire experience, particularly for Reading Comprehension and Data Insights to make navigation and usability easier.
I used the GMATClub Forum Quiz for a month and found it to be really beneficial in terms of topic preparation, particularly in quant, where I was struggling. The focused sessions were beneficial, however I struggled to navigate the Forum Quiz for Data Insights questions.
There were some inaccurate details, and understanding the questions could take some time. I wish there was a way to practice only OG questions while also improving the experience for Reading Comprehension and Data Insights for better navigation and usability.
Overall, my experience was great, and I want to subscribe again. The variety of questions and detailed explanations provided great insights into my performance.
Strengths:
The Quant section - it tests the advanced concepts that are well within the scope of GMAT
Would make the product better:
It is perfect, don't have any specific recommendation from my end.
It is one of the best adaptive tests amongst all the others in the market. When you reach to a level where tough questions are asked, the questions won't test any out of scope concept, it would rather measure your higher order thinking, which the GMAT tests.
In case you're targeting a Quant score above the 90th percentile, I would strongly recommend to utilise this product.
With respect to the Verbal section, I won't say that it exactly resembles the quality of questions asked on the GMAT, but that's the case with all third party test providers and only official GMATPrep tests do justice to the Verbal section.
Strengths:
Quant Adaptive Test are very good and aligned to actual GMAT pattern. Also, they are in good enough quantity to cover for your entire practice duration.
Would make the product better:
Number of test for Verbal and DI can be improved.
GMAT club Adaptive Test are very good and aligned to actual GMAT pattern. Also, they are in good enough quantity (especially for Quant) to cover for your entire practice duration. Also the interface exactly replicates the official version, which will help you to get used to the test environment.
Also the review window will also help you to review your attempts and change if needed, I did not find this feature in other tests. Sectional and full length tests use same pools of questions, so I Advice to use them wisely. For practice one can use other question banks, instead of using test question pool.
The question pattern in GMAT Club tests is harder than the actual exam so when you are able to get a high accuracy on the in these tests, you can be confident that you will excel in the actual GMAT exam. The question types are very similar to the official questions so it's a good practice ground for anyone. However, it would be slightly more realistic if the very hard questions were mixed in with some medium and hard question which have a shorter question stem in Quant, so that time management is more accurate in line with the actual exam.

I had significant difficulty completing the verbal and Data Interpretation (DI) sections of the GMAT, often having to guess on the last 4-5 questions due to time pressure. To address this, I used GMAT Club tests for sectional timed practice, which proved to be a crucial resource. These practice tests were essential for refining my timing strategies, particularly for verbal and DI sections, and greatly helped in improving my overall timing and accuracy. For quant, GMAT Club tests were unparalleled, offering the best practice available and helping me figure out the weak areas. Overall, these tests, as sectional practices were instrumental in my GMAT preparation.

Would recommend to get the timing issue sorted as you get to try a wide range of questions and materials. The scoring seems to differ quite a bit. Might not rely there. But overall is really helpful to create the test environment. But obviously would recommend to try this only if you need more practice in addition to official gmat tests. I also until I send my accumulated points to get access to gmat focus pro. A really good incentive and also the team opens this up for free on holidays. So do keep a look out for those as well.
These tests are very effective for practice. It has sectional test and full length tests. These tests follow the adaptive technology very similar to the original tests.They are designed to mimic the pacing and difficulty of the actual exams, ensuring that you can track your progress and identify areas that need improvement. Additionally, the detailed analytics provided after each test help you understand your performance better, allowing you to focus your study efforts where they are needed most. The user-friendly interface and realistic question formats make it easy to engage with the material, providing a seamless learning experience. By incorporating various question types and adaptive elements, these tests not only enhance your knowledge but also boost your confidence for the real test day.
Great tests to improve your scores after completing fundamental prep. The difficulty level of these tests especially verbal is much more than the usual GMAT level. This may be welcome for some but may also demotivate a lot folks just starting out. I would definitely recommend this test to anyone looking to achieve a 700+ score. You may feel a little thrown aback by the level of these but you will be much more prepared and comfortable when you come back to GMAT level questions later on. So overall I would 100% recommend this test series to people whole heartedly without any doubt. Also don't pay to much attention to the scores you get but rather focus on the trend of your scores in this test series. As the scores you get on this test maybe much lower than your equivalent GMAT Scores.
I've tried various platforms, but Gmat Club stands out by offering a carefully selected pool of questions that can really help you ace your exams. There's no need to spend money with other companies, as their approach might not suit you. Gmat Club also provides free questions and allows you to earn points and redeem rewards. Their platform is highly individualized, as it changes according to your needs. This flexibility sets them apart in the test prep industry. Additionally, their rewards system provides an extra incentive to engage with the material. Overall, Gmat Club seems to offer a comprehensive and customizable approach to exam preparation that sets it apart from other companies.

Gmat club is one the best sources to study for gmat and these practice tests are great tools to simulate and practice for the real test. GMAT CLUB Tests have very good difficulty level, more difficult than actual GMAT. This makes it superb, because actual GMAT pressure can never be recreated with mocks, except by making them difficult. The quality of the questions, specially of Quant, is great. Quality of some questions need to be improved. Also Forum discussions are particularly helpful with so many experts helping you out of tight spots. The best part is that we can redeem reward points to access it!!
Thank you for the review! How were your scores on GMAT Club Tests before you scored 645? Was it close or did we low-ball your scores or inflated them?
Curious how you would rate them. I would guess our DI is much harsher (we are working on it)
Thank you,
