Hello GC
My Take on Gmat Club tests for Quant is stated below:
PRO`s:
1. GMAT like interface - The feel is same as what we see in GMAT Prep
2. Question Quality and Boundary - The questions are a bit tougher but worth it to learn. Falls within the scope of the gmat syllabus
CONS:
1. Algorithm - 3/4 of the questions were of 700 level for me - doubt whether this happens in actual GMAT.
GMAT PREP VS GMAT CLUB TESTS :
1. GMAT PREP scores for me - Q48 - Q50
2. GMAT CLUB scores for me - Q46-Q48
Finally I would like to say one thing. If a person scoring in Q40+ attends all GC test for quant, I am 95% confident that his score wont`t drop below Q48 in actuals.
Good luck and keep going Gmat Club.
Thanks

These tests are perfect tool to test your score. Tests contain mix types of questions from all the areas. Question pool contains lot of question for us to practice. The emphasis is on the quality of questions and not on the quantity. One can check his/her performance in detail, weak areas are highlighted and one can choose the questions they have got wrong in the test and create their own quiz of those questions. This helps in focusing on weak areas. You can bookmark the questions and have a separate set of all the bookmarked questions.
Explanations include different perspectives and I guess that is the most valuable thing for the preparation tests.
Verbal Section need little bit refining as questions , while 700+ type are good, need to be varied as compared to the actual GMAT.
I thought these tests were great! There are so many problems (I think the quant question pool is around 1000?) of varying difficulties. I especially appreciated the quant questions because they were challenging and had a very wide breadth. The CATs were also pretty adaptive, which is great. They scores are also very accurate, as they were very close to my actual GMAT score. I also thought that the verbal questions were good. From studying the GMAT Club Verbal test questions, I learned about the various ways to approach a verbal question on the GMAT. I wish there were as many verbal questions as quant questions, though.
These tests are little-bit high in difficulty level than the actual GMAT. I recommend all those who are looking for hard difficulty level practice questions, must use the practice questions and tests of GMAT club. Each question has its own way of thing and different in technique, which is the best available source of practice. So all those aspirants like me, must come over this plentiful resource of mocks and practice test question for both Quantitative reasoning as well as Verbal reasoning type of questions. But never come before working on the basics, because these questions are of high difficulty level that beginners would not find way to solve any question.
GMAT club tests are really focused and up to the mark tests. In addition to challenging Quantitative questions and to a large extent helpful verbal questions, the look and feel of the tests are very similar to exact exam. The practice gives you the feeling of a real exam and the options of practicing questions in test or practice really makes the experience of solving the questions significantly worthwhile.
I would highly recommend that students who want to improve their overall score (along with sectional score - Quantitative from 49 to 51 and Verbal from 30 - 37/38) take these papers and revise all the book marked questions religiously.

What’s good
1. Great interface: GC test has outstanding Interfaced of Test this is almost similar to that of GmatPrep CAT. Few more awesome features
• While reviewing your incorrect question, it can let you attempt the question again rather than displaying the answer
• It can let you make a note against each question.
• Review stats, mark a guess
2. Quality of question: Questions are amazing. While some of questions exactly mimic the Official questions, most of the questions are fresh and one can be assured that each question tests you mostly relevant concepts.
It provides training which analogous to high altitude training to an athlete
Explanations are crisps and short
What could be better:
I am not sure how the algorithm works. Final raw score are not sometime consistent.
Scope pf improvement for verbal questions
In summary, if one is shooting towards Q51, these tests are must. You can’t afford to miss them.
I gave my GMAT last year and decide that the score was not good enough to get into my target colleges. To increase my score I opted for the GMAT club tests.
Once I got access to the GMAT Club tests, I realised that it was by far the best possible decision could have made.
The question bank is extensive and also provides varied approaches to solutions. This is the defining factor of these tests since gmatclub.com is the end all be all portal for all things GMAT.
The analytics and progress reports are a must see for anyone planning to score higher. They helped me figure out my problem areas and help me create a dedicated study plan for the weak areas.
I would highly recommend anyone planning to get a high score of 700+ to get these tests, they are definitely worth it!!!
Best of Luck!!
Gmat Club Test can prove to be a good resource if one requires comprehensive practice for quantitative section. Most of the questions are of good quality. The best part is that one can create custom test to focus on specific sections. These tests helped me a lot in strenghtening my weak areas. The answers are well explained .Each question is linked to a Gmat Club forum discussion page which helps to clarify the doubt pertaining to question. The Verbal section however has many questions which test concepts usually not checked in the actual Gmat examnation. Overall, the experience was good, especially the quant section
GMAT Club tests are quite good for quant practice. Several folks have boasted about getting Q50-51 using these tests. I am using these tests mainly for quant. My general observation - questions are tough then actual gmat, but thats where you get prepared thoroughly.
Verbal - I havent seen any course providers come close to GMAT Verbal. Thus, wouldnt blame GMAT Club there.
Another thing I like about GMAT Club tests access is that you can choose a particular area and practice questions related to that area. Something I would recommend everyone, and has been suggested by famous guru Ron.
Hi Team,
GmaT Club tests improved my accuracy level to > 90%. The way the questions base is created so realistic and the level of questions are also very close to the real test. In my first attempt I got a very low score in my exam and now for my second attempt the question pool in quant is really helping me in knowing my actually question range ability and also focus on the area of improvement.
The tests feature also brings in the questions according to my accuracy and I feel that the way they are thrown at us while we do a test is pretty much close to the actually exam and also to the Gmat prep software.
Thank you for the awesome question pool which is helping me in my improvement.
