680 Q49 V33 (Online)
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I have given all 9 verbal tests in GMAT Club and 3 Quant tests, and can say the scores and difficultly level has been fairly indicative of my actual capability. Though I would caution to supplement this with other platforms e.g., MGMAT, Veritas which are slightly better
As other test series, GMAT club also pools these tests from a common pool of questions. At start, the quality was extremely good for 3-4 tests where I consistently scored V34-36, this was also my score on other platforms e.g., MGMAT, Kaplan. But then suddenly scores dropped to 25s, which demotivated me big time. I was consistently given 700+ questions (almost 60-70% of test) - I liked the practice but then the scores didnt mean much in my mind. Subsequent tests felt quite easy where I even went to V43, and of course was pleasantly surprised with this. But again I knew this wasnt my level cause I wasn't scoring it on other platforms. I assume something is wrong with their algorithm as my friend faced similar issue. But overall the quality of questions are good, and explanations satisfactory.
I scored Q50 consistently in my Quant - I was scoring similar on GMAT prep and MGMAT platform, so I think this is fine and nothing to highlight
I was lucky enough to get GMAT club test subscription while i was attending a GMAT MBA spotlight webinar (now you know, there are many positives of attending a webinar).
The tests are very organized and helpful and abit tough too compared too actual level of GMAT. but that is what you need while practicing. Also, the solutions are there and you can ask your doubts very easily.
GMATClub have put great effort in keeping the feel same as that of GMAT exam and that is worth it.
(You should give it a try. You can also get 1 week trial subscription if you subscribe to their Youtube Channel)
Definitely harder than the real thing, but I was able to manage a Q48 in my first attempt solely due to these tests.
Very good interface, good questions as well. Some are calculation intensive but totally worth it!
Solutions provided in the comment will provide ways of doing the question much better than you could've imagined.
Take as many of these as you can. Nothing to lose
Dont get too affected by the scores, they vary quite a bit, I haven't taken the verbal tests so cant comment about them, mostly stuck to official sources and got a V41 in second attempt
Best in the Cohort of companies. Although I ignored GMAT Club tests in starting because of difficulty level. I regret it. I scored 580. But this time I am determined to get that coveted 700. GMAT club tests are really the path to Q51. I have participated in GMAT club Olympics and even won prize. I have started participating in SC , CR butlers. (Looking for kudos:) Quants is bit difficult but i think its necessary to have that temperament and the methods used by Bunuel have no comparisons . I know these things will definitely help me.I am thankful to GMAT club owners and looking forward to use the tests again.
Excellent source for quant questions. Probably the best source, if I may. But there are way too many ambiguous questions in verbal that might demoralise you, if the team can sort those questions out, then it’ll be amazing. However the quant tests alone are incredible value for money so that works out. The scoring is also a bit on the lower side, if you get a Q45, that would translate to roughly a Q49 on the actual test, so keep that score deflation in mind. The difficulty gradient is also very good as you get plenty of 700+ questions that test your core concepts rather than make you brute force your way through.
GMAT club tests are an amazing source to practice questions. I would specially recommend it to people who are aiming for high scores in Quant because the quality of questions is really good ranging from beginner to advanced level questions. Expert replies help you to understand different approaches for answering particular questions. Through the analytics tool you can closely identify your weak/strong areas and work Club question bank has 1600+ questions with 25 Quant CATs and 8 Verbal CATs. Also after every CAT you have attempted an average GMAT score of you current performance is generated which can give you a good idea about how you are likely to perform on test day. You can also chose to study in timed or untimed mode as well.
Pros:
1) Much harder than the actual test
2) Questions mimic the nature of questions on GMAT
3)Interface is the same as GMAT
4) Free test is available.
5) Great analysis tool.
6) a High number of tests.
Cons:
1) Analysis of some questions(though rarely) is not great.
2) Verbal section scoring is not very close to the real exam.
3) RC questions are easy as compare to real exams.
4) Some quants questions are lengthy.
I have used the tests and they helped me to score Q49(I wish to score Q50/51)
I suggest every aspirant give it a shot. and It will only increase your appetite for difficult questions

The question sets are very good especially for quants. The question level is a bit higher than OG for quants in my opinion but its a good practice. There are many quant exams so you can get a good practice.
Verbal overall is ok. Some of the questions are really good, some are ok.
The only problem is that if you take many quants tests, many hard questions will be exhausted and you will start getting relatively easier questions even if you get questions correct. ( Compared to initial exams ) But the GMAT club team keeps adding more questions so it will resolve on its own in my opinion. Cheers!
I gave my GMAT for the 2nd time after giving some quant GMAT ClUB mocks and they helped me increased my score.
Now I am willing to give more mocks to improve my score further in my final attempt.
Do the quant sectional tests and a Q50/51 is guaranteed.
Thank you so much for this amazing platform and plethora of opportunities for GMAT CLUB TESTS.
Furthermore, this time I would like to try the verbal section too, which will surely be of great benefit.
Gmat club tests are amazing, make sure you attempt them before giving the GMAT.
Cheers to getting a good score with the help of GMAT CLUB TESTS.
Actually it was my best purchase in preparation for the GMAT;
I have not used the Verbal part, but only used Quant, specifically going through questions by topics, from easy to medium and to hard.
I loved the degree of granularity I can do when choosing what topic to practice, and the interface is really logical and totally resembling the GMAT one.
It was very useful, especially that I can hit enter in order to confirm the selection.
Sometimes explanation is really short, and thats why always available "link to forum" button is extremely helpful - I can see additional explanations by Bunuel or even ask my own clarification.
