I have given 14 Quant test yet and till this point of my journey in GMATCLUB I have found that every test is in itself a challenge.
The test is so designed that one gets to clear the basic of Quant and also one will be able to master the concepts at the same time. I have gone through the explanation by Bunuel and they are simply awesome.
In case someone is not clear of the explanation, they can simply go through the expert comments which either explain the provided solution in detail or offer a different solution which increases the scope of your understanding.
The only issue I find in the tests is that the concentration of the questions are more on a similar topic in one particular test(I have given 14 quant test yet- 12 more to go). For example only 2 questions I have seen yet which comes as the angle between clock problem, and only one question yet which is based on the odd days in a leap year or normal year. If the test questions are distributed evenly then it would help aspirants to cover each topic just by giving the tests.
I will definitely recommend the Quant practise questions from GMATCLUB as I am solely dependent on this as the one and only source.
The Quant Tests are very helpful! I find the questions are very well designed to touch upon the fundamentals that are essential for a high score on GMAT. The subject ranges tested are also pretty wide ranged. More importantly, the questions are very tricky; so they help get you very attentive and cautious. The biggest advantage of solving the question sets is that you will be able to minimize silly mistakes by leaps and bounds. These silly mistakes cost a big chunk of the overall score. The other half of this amazing story is the excellent pool of explanations for each question. Some of the explanations are very elaborate and also, go beyond the concepts necessary for the question in hand and rather discuss at length covering similar concepts. These question sets are like a learning platform in gradual stages. An amazing tool for quant skills development.
Verbal tests are quite good too. But, I found the passages do not reflect the pattern of the actual GMAT. There are only 3 passages instead of 4. And, too many SC questions were left for the end of test.
Overall, these are very good tools for sharpening your skills. But, you must have a mastery of the all available OG questions to be able to understand well the tricks and trades of GMAT. Best of luck!
I was over confident that i can crack GMAT quantcs. But Gmat club tests proved me wrong. It has exposed me to real tough and tricky questions. The best part is the discussion of the each and every questions with the link to the forum. Apart from tricky questions, the test throws simple questions which are essential to build the fundamentals. This has helped me to identify the possible areas of committing silly mistakes. On repeated practice, my silly mistakes have become negligible in number.
In one word, gmatclub test is one forum to strengthen quants skills. The plat-form can be made more user-friendly, if the analytics can give a consolidated report on weak and strong areas.

I was very careful in choosing my practice materials as I was afraid studying a sub-par material would hurt my actual test performance. For that reason, I predominantly used Official Guide for my practice. After a few months, I've exhausted all the practice questions from several editions of the Official Guide. I decided to take a chance with GMAT Club Tests. It was a good leap of faith. Overall the GMAT Club Tests are good. I especially like the Math section. My Math raw score was already 40-45+ when I finished all OG practice Math questions, and it was really hard to find good practice test to boost my score to 49-50, which was my goal. GMAT Club Tests Math section did the job. I eventually got a 50 raw score in Match section in my real test, and found the Math questions in the real test to be very similar to those in GMAT Club Tests. Besides the obvious option which is practicing OG questions, I would recommend every GMAT candidate to do GMAT Club Tests, especially to the candidates who are in the 700-ish range and want to get to a higher score level.
it is a great product with varieties of questions. great source of quant questions, i think if you finish these quant questions, it should be enough to score above 49. You can also see the great explanations from many active users. for SC - need more questions like real gmat style as i see in the gmat active verbal forums. Great source for the verbal CR. This tool displays various statistical data to capture your performance. Based on your weakness after analyzing the test results, you can customize the tests and focus on your weakness. RC passages cover diversified topics and seem a good source the preparation of verbal topic. A great resoruce overall
Gmat club has been a part of my GMAT preparation. Now The Tests that Gmat club has created has only added to the flavor. Tests are tough than the real GMAT and hence they keep you on your toes.
Good mix of questions with superb solutions helps a lot. Add to it further discussion of the problems on the forum. Main point of tests is not to solve the problems but to understand the solution and recognize the pattern. This is where GMAT club tests helps a lot.
I request GMAT club to increase the number of tests available. I understand that doing so is easier said than done. Thanks for helping me a big way in my preparation.
I can confidently say that the quality of Quant Questions in GMAT club tests is the best out there. I highly recommend GMAT Club TESTS for anyone aiming to reach a good Quant score. GMAT Club TESTS offers a large variety of questions across different topics and difficulty levels and surely prepare you for the actual test day. The performance review and analysis is very useful. The user interface of GMAT Club TESTS prepares you for the actual test. GMAT Club TESTS rock!! GMAT Club TESTS Verbal section is very good too, I feel more questions need to be added to the GMAT Club TESTS Verbal Section.
I am from engineering background, reaching 48-49 was easy after that pushing to 50/51 was hard. GMAT tests concepts that are basic but one should be very strong in basics and to get that thinking process during exam in 2 minutes is hard. That's when Gmatclub tests helped me to push me think in the right direction and the explanation to the questions by Bunnel is really great. I took around 15 tests each day one test, this helped me get used to the stress. If you could get consistenet 47-51 in gmat club tests you can get Q50/51 in GMAT test. Most of the questions are 700 level and the questions really test your basics. I took manhattan tests as well but Quant tests in manhattan are hard and lengthy but I dont think GMAT tests that kind of questions(my personal experience). The thing that helped is you can bookmark the tricky questions you came across and view the solutions before the real GMAT and this hlped alot. Last advice is even though you got the answer right see the explanations by Bunnel they are really amazing and will help you solve 700+ level questions in less than 1.5 min.
Hi,
Being an asian-india,with my school curriculum concentrating much on quant since my childhood-i always scored 95%+ on any competitive exam. But when it came to gmat prep the toughest decision was what sources to refer to for quant.Though there are courses offered .i knew the basics upto 80% and i understood the exam would test basics but would involve some sort of reasoning as its based on logical reasoning and some other skills which will be tested as it is gonna put you in the business world.
So referring books was tough because many books are there and even if i refer the basics are same but then i tried gmat club tests.
so em gonna pen down things why gc tests or after you complete 26 tests-what can you learn
1.) you have worked with 99% -100% of topics covered on gmat
2.) you have learnt the skills to answer the 99% questions on gmat-because when you review the question after test you find answers linked to forum where experts and other students have given their answers and queries-surely your querie(posted by past students ) or your method will be there and an expert replying to it- incase you get your answer wrong and wondering what you did ;),also multiple solutions are given.
3.) time based-this is what i like.51q in 75 minutes-you do 26 tests seriously nothing can beat this-you working on some real test based quant questions. you will surely hit 47+ trust me at the end but ya need to do few things-
4.) review: reviewing the tests is very important- when you review make notes of the mistakes or some key things like square of number ,square root of number,absolute values,signs etc- this things are limited in gmat from other exams also ensure you never commit same mistake so review is important.
5.) buneul is always there to reply to your solutions from tests on the link in the solution.
6.) you can review buneul books,some quant basics and go for gc tests- nothing more you need to hit 47+.
7.) yes 49+ is also possible but there are few things you need to yourself which are based on your skills :)
8.) gc tests gives me lot of confidence-like apple a day keeps doctor away ;)
9.) yes,another thing the moderators and the team are very friendly wrt to technical or other issues ;)
good luck guys.
The test questions are of very high-quality. Although many reviews can be found regarding the quantitative section, I also feel the verbal question collection is great. Any student aiming to score 650+ should subscribe to these tests. Moreover, the tests come with detailed explanations, in most cases, which help to look at the problems from different perspectives i.e. different ways to solve. The report generated from the practice is very detailed and is an excellent tool to gauze expertise and weaknesses in various areas; and manage limited study time in the most efficient manner. I would definitely recommend these tests to anybody aiming for an above-average GMAT score.
