Hard but helpful

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

The GMAT Club Test were an excellent tool to help in GMAT preparations. The questions were hard but definitely assisted in the GMAT preparation. The explanation for each answer was also very well done. In addition, the breakdown of what you got right and wrong along with time breakdown helps you in figuring out how to come up with a correct strategy in the test. I could say without a doubt that the questions and tests (along with discussions on the GMAT forum of each question) helped tremendously. I would definitely recommend using the GMAT Club Test along with the resources on the GMAT Club Forum to anyone on any level to achieve their best score.

Very accurate in scoring, and good for practice

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I have used for a very long period of time GMAT Club Tests. For my preparations for my latest exam, I have used GMAT Club tests for practice, especially the quant ones. Needless to say, the "predictability" of the tests is outstanding. I had been constantly getting 47-49 on Quant, and I got 49 on the real test.
Just as MGMAT CAT's quant sections are, so are GMAT Club's quant tests in terms of "difficulty". Tests are more "difficult" than the real test, yet studying on "hard mode" makes you more vigilant (most of the questions rely on basic concepts, the mastering of which is crucial in getting a high score).
I really appreciate the effort that was put in creating these tests, as I have noticed that each question CAN be solved not just in 2 ways, but some times in 3 and more ways.

Verbal tests are accurate as well. I scored 30 on the real test, while getting 30-40 on the GMAT Club's tests.

Are the tests worth it? I say yes. Nonetheless, the possibility to buy tests with kudos gives everyone the chance to try GMAT Club's CAT's.

Great

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

The GMAT club tests are great, they are better than the practice tests from a few different sources. Each question comes with detailed explanation on the answer and with statistics on how everyone did. This helps to give you, the test taker, a good perspective on how you are doing compared to others. In addition, the quiz component is excellent! It allows you to drill into different topics and sections that you want more practice. Overall, the entire format, the look and feel, is like that of the real test. This helps to allow you to be familiar with the actual test. Overall, I highly recommend using the GMAT club tests. Only thing - I hope that GMAT club will put in more verbal questions!

Quant is the best. Verbal not sure.

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

Quant questions in gmat club tests are the best out there. It is much more trickier than any other test co out there and GMAT tests tricky queations. Interface and the explanations are awesome. Thanks Bunuel. 4 stars for Quant. (-1 star for Verbal) I did not attempt much of verbal so cannot comment on that. Once I do attempt more questions to get an insight, I may come back and change my reviews too. I am still using the tests and as per my experience they are definitely is helpful. I will edit this review once I get my score.

Gmat Club Test Must have

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Test takers must take club test if they are aiming for 700+ score. Quant part covers all the variety of questions and and are of top notch. It has amazing analytic to gauge your strengths and weaknesses . Question bank is pretty big and will be enough to cover everything.
The only point of criticism is regarding the test being not adaptive. Because of this I was not able to simulate the test centre environment.

Considering everything I think test contain a ton of quant, most of which are algebra and inequalities where plugging in number's won't work. If you are looking for verbal help, than I'd look elsewhere.

Overprepping made awesome

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

I had to teach myself math from scratch. It's been a long journey since Khan Academy. Because the "Hard" questions in the GMAT Club Tests bank are incredibly hard, I chose to ease into them by doing all the "Easy" and "Medium" questions first. Of the ones I got wrong, I would redo them again until I was comfortable with the concepts being tested. Real GMAT quant feels much easier now and let's be honest, fear is a huge factor in why people bomb the test.

These questions will sharpen make you pay attention, be more precise, and teach you a ton of math concepts you won't have seen elsewhere.

Amazing for Quant

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

These are the absolute best resources for Quant prep. You get all you need and get the best reviewing dashboards possible! Go for it! After a couple of attempts at the exam where I ran out of time in the Quant section, I figured that timing was one area I had to improve on.
GMATCLUB tests are perfect for improving your timing as they provide the right mix of thought provoking questions while also helping to improve your timing progressively.
The tests also seem to be updated regularly with newer content in line with the questions more commonly seen on the GMAT.

PERFECT TEST SERIES TO BEAT GMAT

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

In my first attempt at gmat I got a low score of 630.I got disheartened but then I came to know about the gmat club test series and quizzes.I purchased the test series and started practicing. The questions in the test series are similar to what comes in the actual gmat test.The test series help us to analyse where we stand and what all areas we need to work on.Time management which is the most important requirement of gmat can be learned with the help of the gmat club tests.The question banks contain question of all levels(500,600,700) so no other source is required to practice.
In my second attempt I got 700 all thanks to gmat club tests.

Review GMAT Club Tests

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

Hi GMAT-Club Team,
For having use your product since more than 2 years, here are my feelings about things that could be improved :
[1] Exam algorithm : I think the tests are not adaptive, since even when doing well we sometime still get 500 level questions.
[2] Exam Score : I have no understanding on how the exam is scored when ended with some questions left. The variance is huge.
[3] Verbal part : While on the quant part there is considerable quantity of questions/CATs, on the verbal part there is a need of alignment in term of proportion to the quant part.
Very good job mean while!!!

Worked for me, but wouldn't recommend for all

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

THE GOOD:
(1) lots of practice in quant- most are difficult questions. My weakest math is algebra (I usually plug in numbers), a lot of these questions are high yield (algebra and inequalities) where plugging in numbers won't work
(2) test mode - even though some of these questions are available else where, it's hard to click each link and read questions and answer. these tests provide the questions in a testing situation.


THE BAD:
(1) lack of discussion - most questions (unlike the forum) have few discussions and the discussions are often left unanswered. there was a post form 5 months ago and I had the same question and no one answered it :(
really expected admins and mods to put their priority in the paid tests forums and answer questions.
(2) questions found else where - a lot of these questions are found else where as retired or other questions. seems like they just slapped as many questions as they could, just to say look we have "insert big number here" questions
(3) less is more - carrying on from above, I would of liked a lot of the questions filtered. a few quant and a lot of verbal had bad questions. also, there was several questions that tested the same thing (for example the number 0 is divisible by every number)


AND THE DOWN RIGHT UGLY:
Verbal, verbal, and verbal - section was, for a lack of a better word, useless. I think they just slapped together some questions. Unlike quant, most answers are not thoroughly. Reading I didn't think was too difficult or had many bad questions. The grammar was big hit/miss - some were good questions, some were bad questions. The CR was just horrible. I think you are lowering your CR score by even bothering with these. I did the Manhattan and one GMAT official book and in both books I get more than 95% of the CR correct, however on these tests it's 70% or maybe even less. In my opinion the verbal (especially CR) is opinion based. Unlike the quant where even if the question is a hard question, there is a right answer. Here, I did poorly on the CR not because the questions were difficult but because the questions were not clear and concise. The goal of each CR question is to have the group of test takers answer 60-80% of each question correct. If it's over 80% than ditch the question because it's too easy. If it's below 60% than ditch the question because it's not clear and it's confusing. Basically, there are "traps" in quant to where I think if less than 50% or even less than 20% of people get a question right, than that's fine as the quant section has only one right answer. But, here they are trying to put "traps" in the CR section which in my opinion shouldn't have traps.




All in All...I think the tests were designed especially for me. They contain a ton of quant, most of which are algebra and inequalities where plugging in number's won't work. I am definitely 100% happy with my purchase. But, this may not be for you. If you are strong in algebra (setting up equations and not plugging in numbers) or if you are looking for verbal help, than I'd look elsewhere.

Just a quick note that based on your posts, I cannot find where you posted any questions about the GMAT Club Tests. I only found one post: http://gmatclub.com/forum/m05-183689.html#p1580325

Did you see the link included in the explanation of each question to the discussions? Bunuel and other regularly participate in the GMAT Club tests forum discussions - let me know if I missed anything.
