Strengths:
It gives a test environment to experience the same level of focus under the time constraint with close to accurate result reflecting the actual test
Would make the product better:
The pool of questions can be made a bit harder and even with diverse set of cocepts covered.
It gives a test environment to experience the same level of focus under the time constraint with close to accurate result reflecting the actual test The pool of questions can be made a bit harder and even with diverse set of cocepts covered. As the number of tests attempted reduces it feels that the questions are repetitve and the difficulty of the question also reduces a lot and revolving around covering a similar set of concepts. If the variety and difficulty is made uniform across all the available tests then it would give a betterp platform to access our practice tests.
Strengths:
> I think its a good product , helps one to do a timely sectional tests - and helps practice speed, being under pressure.
> I feel quant is on the lower side of toughness and so is Eng, DI is strong when it comes to DS and maybe TPA
Would make the product better:
> DI sectionals do not include more than 1 MSR - which is not actually and truly representative of GMAT focus mocks - should work on that
> Also - maybe providing more number of tests can help - I exhausted mine - but it could also be so since timing was my main pain point
Overall good series to build rhythm and judge mental fatigue of sitting out for 3 hours in 1 setting. DI can have more than 1 MSR. Maths can be a bit stronger. In VA - CR is good quality. Quality of RC can improve.

Strengths:
Great to practice for DS, PS, CR, TPA and Graphs questions which are across the forum and set different
Would make the product better:
The interface for RC and MSR quuestions should improve and there should be a filter to practice official and unofficial material in quiz
The produce is value for money to practice unique types of questions but some questions not being official gives some wierd solution so there should be a filter for such questions or include official questions more in the quiz question bank. The Reading comprehension and multi source reasoning section must include automatic timer for each question with showing one question per page to give ore exam like feel. I think the layout is pretty easy to understand the the sources can be selected with the number of questions customisable as well but lack of official questions makes it hard to ensure if a person is improving or not. Also, the result is not easy to understand as the questions just gets mixed up in the error log
The GMAT Club practice tests have been somewhat useful in my GMAT prep, but there are a few areas where they fall short. The question bank is extensive, which is a plus, but I found that the difficulty level of the Quantitative section often exceeded that of the actual GMAT. This discrepancy made it hard for me to gauge my true performance.While the Quantitative section can sometimes be a bit more challenging than the actual GMAT, I found this to be beneficial in pushing my limits and preparing me thoroughly. Overall, the GMAT Club practice tests have been an invaluable resource, boosting my confidence and helping me achieve my target score

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.
The experience is good overall. I have taken multiple tests on gmat club. I believe it is good practice for someone in the initial phase of their preparation. The exam tests CR, RC and quant PS DS. The result given can be more comprehensive in terms of percentile. The test can be made adaptive so that the student has a real GMAT experience. The test has multiple lessons covered in a single exam take, 2-3 per topic just like the real GMAT. In some tests, the questions turn out to be repetitive from the previous tests taken on the exam.
Overall I liked the testing experience and scored a pretty decent score and got a base for my prep and focus areas. Since, it displays separate metrics of verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and data insights. I was able to review all my 64 questions the ones I got wrong and even the ones that I got right by luck as I did not do the right calculation or how I got to the answer was not right. If I know that I got this question right accidently I can focus on how to get it right the correct way so that I do not falter in those kind of question. Because if you got lucky once doesn't mean that you'll get lucky always. Therefore I like to know if I got it right then why did I get it right.
You can see on which topics of quant, verbal or DI you have faltered and on which topics you have done great. This ultimately helps you sort the topics on which you need to focus.
3.5 stars
The Quant Section varies from Moderate to difficult compared to the Official Mocks. However, on the basis of skill level the Scores obtained dont vary that much and one may consider a positive tolerance towards the final score by 30/40 points in terms of Quant.The verbal is really tough and seemed a bit divergent from the difficulty level of Official Mocks. The scores vary too much on a present skill level and the tests are really tough, at least that I found on an individual level. However, one may wonder if one scores around 35, the skill level must be there to obtain 41+ in the actual mock
The GMATClub Tests are the most reasonable tests you can find out there, especially if you've signed up for a course a offered by a company that has partnered with GMATClub - if that's the case then there are chances that your access to these tests could be complimentary. The quality of the questions, especially for Quant is top-notch. There can be improvement in the standard of the Verbal questions. Solving the questions nonetheless from both the sections proved to be of considerable help for me. The scoring is decently accurate too - not completely, but about say 80%. All in all, you can use these tests for your practice but not to assess yourself foryour readiness to give the GMAT.

I was surprised to see the exact same score given by GMAT Club Tests just a day before the real GMAT exam. Though Verbal questions are poorly drafted and many OA/OE are debatable without any expert reply on forum discussion, overall experience to take a timed test covers up the weakness. Hoping to see an improved Pro version in terms of accuracy of ESR and flexibility of online whiteboard soon. The Pro test got abruptly abandoned when I took last. However, it is commendable the way the development team is working on constructive criticism. Online calculator was missing in IR section of Pro version. All the best team and keep improving.
Thank you for your review and feedback! Appreciate it.
P.S. If you have taken the real GMAT already or have GMAT Prep results, would love to see how those compare for you in terms of scores and hopefully you do much better on the test 🤞
Thank you.
