GMAT Club test are a must for the quant prep.
To get 49-50 one must give give these examsOne should validate their performance by the number of correct attempts. The analytics part of the exam is really good
1. Excellent source for targeted practice (by difficulty level or by topic/sub-topic).
2. Useful to review questions that you got incorrect or spent too much time on.
3. Ability to select just quant or verbal separately to evaluate if you manage your time well for 37 or 41 questions in 1 practice session.
4. Ability to select number of questions in a given practice session, timed/untimed.
5. Interface is very similar to what you will get in actual GMAT. This familiarity to the interface is a very important aspect of training yourself for the real thing.
I loved the GMATClub tests - it really is a must for those wanting to score a Q49 or above.
I was able to raise my score from a Q44 to Q48 after taking these tests. The verbal tests are OK. Although I used them sparingly, my initial reaction was that the questions were not as representative of the real tests, though I may be wrong - it is possible that the Verbal tests real help improve RC or SC and I just did not have the patience to answer the super challenging questions.
Overall would HIGHLY recommend these tests, they are a great value and will certainly help you score higher on Quant if you apply yourself.

Tests are worth buying compared to other tests offered by other companies..
Pros :
1) Analysis is way far better than analysis offered by any other company, considering question. mistake , best and worst analysis etc
2) Different modes (practice, quiz) works well for both beginner intending to master concepts as well as experts for more and morepractice
3) Area specific quiz in Problem solving helps in build solid foundation
4)Tough Questions comes in handy as areas one tends to focus more can be bookmarked and saved to pdf as notes
5) Practice practice practice ... learning by practice is a great tool
Suggestions ( not Cons actually!!):
More questions should be added
Discussion forum can be enabled in the tests tab
AWA and IR should be included
Hello All,
I have been preparing for GMAT for about 2 months. Recently, I subscribed to GMAT Club Test. Its been more than a week that I have been using GMAT Club Tests on a regular basis. Without any doubts, I have been constantly challenged by the quantitative section of GMAT Club Tests. I will definitely recommend to take the GMAT Club Test, if you want to be confident about the quantitative section before you take the actual GMAT test.
I have no reviews for the verbal section as I haven't had a chance to dig into those questions. However, without reservations, I highly recommend quant. section of the GMAT Club Tests to strengthen your math skills and be confident about solving most of the questions that may appear in the actual test.

GMAT club tests contain a good pool questions which seem to be different from most other tests I have taken so far.
Also I haven't seen any repeated question so far. Once you practice for 2 to 3 months you tend to see the same question repeat in CAT's or atleast thats what i experienced with some of FREE CAT's offered by test prep companies.
The answer explanations are really clear plus the comments section makes it interactive with understanding other ways of working the same question.
The interface allows to build small quizes as well which is a grrat way just to select the incorrect answers and try them again.
I have saved the GMAT CLUB test for my last leg of preparation and I hope to receive my target score.
I had the best experience when i used the GMAT Test Club during my GMAT preparation. The GMAT Club tests has a huge questions that are enough to practice and helpful functions that help us improving GMAT Score. Especially in Quant section, the analysis tool will help us where is weakness, the explanation for each questions is clear and detail, the filter function will support us easy to pick right topics and levels to practice, and CAT test simulation will enhance time management skill. These function are valuable in reasonable price. So, I strongly recommend to try the GMAT Club test.
Happy studying and get high score.

GMAT club tests simulate the real test environment which helps one to get accustomed to the graphical user interface. Even the score prediction is very near to the actual GMAT test. The tests are a bit difficult than the actual test which is good for practice. The tests have questions from all difficulty levels and provides great analytics to track the user's performance. The number of tests are more than enough. Quizzes and collections are there to practice tests focused on a specific topic and difficulty level. Overall its a great package with many advantages and tools to learn from.
The GMAT Club Tests, especially the quant ones, are amazing. They offer a great practice, with an option to solve these in a practice mode or exam mode. The exam mode is timed, just as the real GMAT, and the software feels very similar to the actual GMAT. Each questions has its own explanation as well as link to the forum where the question has been discussed. In addition, you can analyze your weak areas, and concentrate on solving questions in that particular area. The quant was very helpful in helping me scoring a 49. With more time and practice, I am sure I could have got a 50 or 51. I'd definitely recommend these tests if you are scoring in mid to high 40s.
I would say that the verbal tests were a bit (Slightly) hard than the GMAT prep Section, but the questions are of supreme quality. I learnt a new concept almost on every 1 out of 2 questions.
For Quant , I would say that the tests were more or less similar to the GMAT Prep Sections.
One Advice or amendment that i would like to see is the increase in number of verbal tests. As of now you offer only 9 Verbal Tests compared with 26 Quant Tests, that is quite a huge difference. I am definitely looking forward to see more of the Verbal Tests as the non native speakers are generally concerned about the Verbal Section.

I started using these test sometime back and consider myself qualified enough to review based on my 3 tests. Something to take note of, I have also given the practise tests from Kaplan, Veritas Prep, Manhattan GMAT, The Economist before giving GMAT Club tests. Also, I have my GMAT scheduled on 20th July, so will update on the score accuracy after that.
Interface - I like the simple interface of the GMAT Club test. It is less distracting to eye and the next question loads faster. The font size seems adequate and it aids you to read the text without much of scrolling, which is generally required to be done for RC's
Question Quality - Given the previous tests, I feel the questions in Quant were quite upto mark with the OG questions, though marginally harder than it. Although, Manhattan remains the toughest Quant test of the many I appeared. GMAT Club test question, especially for Quant sometimes are tricky more than laborious, which is exactly what GMAT Quant is all about. I found the Word problems and Probablity questions quite tricky. For the Verbal questions, I found few of the question quite vague with answers ambiguous. In terms of quality of questions, I didn't find it at par with other GMAT tests. Although, some of the questions in GC were really good but overall it helps if there are no questions that are unclear because it unnecessarily wastes your precious minutes between the exam. I will reserve my comment on the score, until my GMAT.
Analytics - I love the analytics. I find it quite satisfying with those graphs and added stats for questions. I liked it more because unlike other tests, which give you the reasoning behind correct answers, GMAT club gives you link of the forum discussion. It helps tremenduously because many times you are not satisfied with the explanations and you can seek clarity on the forum then and there itself regarding the explanation unlike other tests.
I would surely recommend them to someone who wants to practise CAT's because I think that it will improve as it progresses.
