hi, The tests are fine and I am satisfied. What I suggest that the IR and the AWA section should be there which will give a more feel of the GMAT and increase the capacity of the test-taker. This might be more strenuous as compared to other tests as the questions are slightly more difficult here. Nevertheless, this will help the test takers. Also, the explanation for the other objects that were being wrong should have more details the way it's given in Official guide. Also, there should be more tests on the VA section with similar GMAT level questions. Hope this helps.
GMAT club tests offer a very user friendly interface and are close to real GMAT. It offers lots of tests for both quants and verbal, and offers a good range of practice. It covers a wide range of questions and provides a very good explanation for each question. The explanation offered for each question helps one fill the conceptual gap. I found that quants section is little more difficult than actual GMAT. Overall, they are great for practice and improving the timings. Practicing difficult questions boosted my confidence, and prepared me for the tough questions that appear on the test.
I took GMAT on May 26 and scored 610 Q44 and V30. However I started using the GMAT club tests and i was able to improve my score by just doing the tests and analyzing the questions to Q50 on my actual GMAT that I took on Oct11. My verbal score dropped to V24 (lowest of all my mock scores) bringing my overall score to 620. The Quant questions are so close to what actually appears on GMAT.
I would also recommend material on GMAT Club for Quant especially for remainders, overlapping sets and co-ordinate geometry. They help understand the concepts clearly in less than an hour each.

I was granted the access to this valuable test bank provided by GMATClub as I purchased a verbal course from e-gmat as a bonus. I do have around 700+ verbal questions provided by e-gmat yet let's be honest, that's far from enough to practice. Fortunately, GMATClub tests have been my life savers. Not only I get extra 9 Verbal CATS but I also get my hands on 26 Quant CATS to amp up my Quant skills - a total game changer! No words can describe how grateful I am to have these CATS to practice prior the actual test. Without purchasing a Quant Course, I would do just fine with this comprehensive Quant Test Bank by elevating my time management skills and learning extra new Quant skills through solving problems simultaneously. Also, appearance-wise, these tests are mimicked perfectly the actual test to familiarize you and save you from a nerve-wreck.

As an engineer, it is very disappointing to see Q42. The least you expect is Q47. I failed to understand the reason behind the low quant score because, during the break between Quants and Verbal, I felt I rocked Quants section and I will be scoring Q48 easily as I was getting the answers in PS part and DS also seemed good. My expectation was shattered when I saw Q42 which pulled down my overall score. (Just to give you an idea, I gave GMAT prep mocks only and I was scoring Q47 and Q48 and was using free resources on GMAT Club)
After I subscribed to GMAT club tests, scoring consistently in the range of Q44-Q46 (difficulty level is little higher btw) and also reviewed each question, I came to know where my weakness lied. It was falling into traps and forgetting to read the question properly and then attacking it rather than start solving it with equations the moment you see the question. I always assumed a lot in certain questions such as this one –
If 10^a * 3^b * 5^c = 450^n, what is the value of c?
Statement 1: a is 1
Statement 2: b is 2
Here unless it is not mentioned a, b, c are integers, you won't be able to find the value of C. I ended up picking D , but the answer is E, that was a silly error on my part and mind you GMAT Is more of a Tricky Exam, it gets even trickier on 700+ so Gmat Club helps to avoid those silly errors you might end up doing on 700+ questions.
When you review questions on GMAT Club tests you may also get an easier way to find the solution such as this problem -
How many positive 5-digit integers have the odd sum of their digits?
A. 9*10^2
B. 9*10^3
C. 10^4
D. 45*10^3
E. 9*10^4
(Hint: Symmetry)
Here you learn how to tackle using symmetry and not by taking cases which will take a lot of time and you may not even arrive at an answer.
Above were just a few examples, there is even more such trickier question you can afford to get wrong on GMAT club tests and learn about it rather than on the GMAT.I reached Q47 just after 10 days of subscribing, now I am aiming for Q49 at least and I am sure I’ll be able to do it as I have overcome my shortcomings and also learnt a great deal.
Thanks! To GMAT club tests.
Experts such as @Bunuel and @sayantanc2k replied to my query within 18 hours, sometimes even couple of hours after posting the query, so I thank them as well.
These tests have such an amazing content (Content that is in line with that of the actual GMAT). I have tried the MGMAT tests and the Quant is so tough that I could never finish on time without skipping a few questions. If someone aims for Q51, skipping a question is something I would not want to do on my actual GMAT. GMATClub tests content is so great!
After giving Quant tests i felt quite confident and I did score Q51 in my actual GMAT. Exactly what was predicted by the tests.
I wish there were more tests for Verbal Section and I could take full length tests including Quant and Verbal section.
Regardless, these are great tests that predict your performance accurately.
these tests are just too good , i have done so many times and still i fell that a lot can be extracted from them .the thing that i want the makers to improve is that the tests the software should let us organise all our questions topic wise i,e what i want to say is that i can at a glance see that after say completing all my tests , i can see at one place how many total probability questions were there in the tests and how many i got right and how many i got wrong so that i can categorise my mistakes topic wise at one place , in this way i can know my mistakes better and it would help me organise things and work on my strategy in a better way
I have taken GMATCLUB Test and honestly, these are one of the best tests you will come across. The scores are very close to the actual GMAT ones. I also like the analytical which the test takers get on completing test. the analytical helps the test taker to identify the weaker areas and stronger areas. So it helps the test taker to fine tune the preparations accordingly.
One of the lacking is that certain answers dont have proper solutions. Even, we have many experts, but still one is not sure of the exact solutions.
But still, it is one of the best CATs and must preparations guide for all the GMAT taker.s
GC tests are absolutely best in the business. I am a retaker and with each test my quant score is improving. If you want to get more than 45 in Quant, these are must. I regret not having them in my first attempt. They are absolutely best in the business
I have already done 15 of them and found them extremely good however the only con is that their difficulty is higher than actual GMAT.
Hopefully i will touch quant 50-51 with these tests.
The explanations by bunnel are truly amazing and the discussion helps you to analyze different perspectives.
In comparison verbal tests are limited but i would buy GC tests anyday if it meant only for quant too.
The gmatclub quant questions are all you need for your quant practice. If you wish to strategically prepare for quant from gmatclub, download the gmatclub math book, which is free, and then after every chapter, solve the gmatclub 500 and 600 level questions corresponding to the chapter. Then solve the prescribed OG questions. And then come back to these quizzes to solve 700 level questions. Carefully review the solutions. The solutions are very crisp and clear. If you dont wish to spend a lot of money on quant, just go for these tests and thank me later.
PS : If you purchase a Magoosh Premium course or an EGMAT, you get these tests for free for a certain amount of time.
