The GMAT club tests are precisely what they claim to be... the hardest quant tests in the market. However they are very useful because each question has brilliant explanations from bunuel and the gmatclub community. The tests are best used in the 'middle phase' of prep when you've completed all the concepts but do not want to finish the official tests just yet. The analytics are detailed and should be used to make a customized study plan and eliminate weaknesses. Your score on these tests may not accurately indicate what you might score on the actual exam since they are much tougher. However the more important thing with the tests is reviewing and learning from your mistakes and learning the traps employed by the GMAT
Having taken all the 26 Quant tests of the GMAT Club tests, I can claim with great conviction that any serious test taker should take these tests and master his Quant skills. If there is any preparatory material that resembles the Quant section of the actual test after the two official GMAT Prep tests, it is the GMAT CLub tests.
I only used the Manhattan guides for the basics of Quants and took all the tests, thereafter. My understanding of the Quant section of the GMAT kept growing with each test that I took - time management, shortcuts, my own weaknesses. My scores in the tests would range from 45 to 51. However, I scored 49 in the section on the final day. I reckon this was due to exam anxiety. The questions have been chosen very adroitly and the answers to the questions are just what a student needs. Hats off to the people behind this !!
All said and done, there is a lot to be done with regard to the Verbal part. I stopped taking these tests after just 2 attempts. It was a sheer waste of time. It does not resemble the actual Verbal section and some answers are even debatable. Do improve on the quality of the Verbal part and increase the number of tests as well.
This will make the tests a one stop destination for mastering the GMAT exam!!
The GMAT Club tests are very different from the other tests that are available in the market. They test you on the basics of every concept, which in turn prepares you for all the possibilities that you can possibly face in the GMAT. The CATs are also very adaptive and give a true reflection of your understanding of the topics. A decent score in the GMAT Club CATs , a Q45-Q48, almost assures you of Q50-Q51 in the real exam. The analytics part of GMAT Club is unique to itself. It helps you analyse your shortcomings and tells you the areas of improvement. Hence, these tests are useful if you want to prepare from scratch or if you want to retake your exam and improve your score. All in all one of the best products available, especially for Quant.
I got a free access to the gmatclub CATs through the e-gmat verbal online. The tests are really good, with nice solutions and the level is very close to that of the real GMAT. It is not adaptive, but the question levels are given in the end. You can also filter questions by category, level and bookmark for later review. I would highly recommend these tests to anyone serious about scoring above 700.
In terms of improvement, gmatclub could make the tests adaptive. Also the number of quant tests I got were way more than verbal, so a balance would be good.
Anyone looking to enhance scores in Quant must try Gmat Club Tests. I reached Q50-51 from 43-44 and scored Q50 in actual GMAT .
Verbal Sectional tests are also really very helpful to enhance scores.
The questions types of Gmat Club tests are exactly similar to those of official ones and thus are really helpful to boost the score . RC , CR questions are very helpful for Verbal. One can attempt sectional tests well as topic wise quiz.Really helpful to make concepts strong . One must try to attempt as many Gmat Club tests as possible to enhance score .All the best.
I scored a 770 after a couple months working through the GMAT Club tests. I did not do any of the verbal sets, so I cannot attest to their quality, but I found the quant sets to be very helpful. In fact, the GMAT Club test collection was the only resource I used beyond the Official Guide and GMAT Prep. The quant questions are very thorough and capture many of the nooks and crannies that might befall you on test day. Use these tests to ensure you have a good understanding of the fundamentals. Best of luck to you on your own GMAT journey.
The GMAT CLUB Tests are both extensive, covering all topics as well as exhaustive, ie, covering all difficulty levels. Also the questions do not touch upon any topic beyond the GMAT, so they are precise and helpful. The QUANT in particular sets you up for a challenge. If you master the quant questions in these tests, GMAT can pretty much be a cakewalk.
Though the no. of tests in VERBAL are lesser, they are good and spot on. With more no. of tests, more concepts can be tested and one can gain confidence in verbal as well.
Overall, a mixed bag for VERBAL but an absolute must for QUANT.
I highly recommend the gmat club tests to anyone who plans to take the GMAT. It will definitely help strengthen your quant skills . At first the quality and level of questions may scare you a bit but if you continue practicing and analysing your mistakes you will surely be rewarded. Earlier I used to score around 35 but now it is between 37-39 . I love the challenging questions and it definitely has helped me build my confidence level. The only thing to be kept in mind is one has to keep practicing even if the initial scores are not so good. You need to stay motivated and carry on. Eventually when you take a mock , the results will show you the benefit of Gmat Club tests . Happy studying !!
The GMATclub tests are one of the best materials you will find for quants. I didn’t take it as tests. I used gmatclub test questions as quizzes to improve my skill level. Here is my take. Basically, the 500-level questions are straight forward ones. Mostly, you can just apply the formula and solve or little to do to crack the questions. The real practice starts from the 600-level and 700-level questions. The 600-level questions are a great pool of questions to practice through which you can learn tricks here and there to apply. But, the best part of tricky stuffs comes from the 700-level questions. These are simply God level quality questions. I got 95%+ accuracy in 500-level and 80%-85+% accuracy in 600-level questions. But, I was killed by 700-level questions. My accuracy got down to 50+% in those questions. But, I can confirm that each question at this level teaches some sort of new tricks and traps. The more the exposure, the better you are equipped for D-Day. Overall, a great source for practice and right now, I am ranging Q49 in GMATPrep. I have worked on 500+ questions on varying difficulty level and I am planning to do more to push myself to Q50+. I didn’t work verbal questions. Thanks!

This is my second review for the tests. I am writing this review after attempting all of the Quantitative and Verbal tests. The tests contains questions which are very close to the actual GMAT level questions in terms of difficulty level. The tests contains comprehensive explanations of each question and very good analytics as well. One must attempt GMAT club tests before writing the actual GMAT. I want to write the GMAT again to improve my previous score of 710. I seriously suggest that these GMAT club tests are very helpful to feel a real GMAT like experience. For the people aiming above 700, these tests will turn out to be very helpful.
