For those of you who are just getting started with GMAT prep, I have a piece of straight and simple advice; just for GMAT Club tests. I have taken mocks from many platforms such as Veritas, Kaplan, Princeton, and GMAC but nothing came close to the real scores obtained during my GMAT exam.
There are over 26 Quant CAT's, 9 Verbal CAT's and thousands of questions for CAT's and Quizzes. I reset them twice and as a starter, these tests cover almost all topics that are required for the exam. I must tell you with an experience that the Quant tests are a little hard, but soon this hard becomes normal to you and the actual exam feels much easier. 26 Quants fix the right mindset and you feel confident after attempting over 20 mocks.
On the other hand, these tests are really affordable in terms of the quantity and quality of tests provided. I know that other prep platforms give you a whole 2.5hr text experience but I used to keep two tabs open, one with the Quant section and the other for the verbal test to ensure a seamless integration and real mock experience.
Just don't hesitate to pay for these mocks! All the best!

I got the GMAT Club Tests as a part of the e-GMAT course. Overall, the tests made for great practice and were really helpful in the test-taking training. During my preparation, I mostly focused on the Quant CATs. The difficulty level of the questions in the Quant mocks was great. It really helped me practice the Q50 and Q51 level questions. The analysis of the incorrect questions through the posts helped me develop multiple ways of solving the same problem. It allowed me to cross the 700 level barrier. To further enhance the experience, the overall adaptability of the test needs to be improved.
Overall it is a good tool to practice. It gives you quite some information and analytics such as averages, percentages, etc, that will help you to gauge your strengths and weaknesses. I would say that quality of questions in quant are better than those of verbal. However, as it has always been repeated in the forum, do not take any mock score seriously other than the GMAT Prep ones. Use these mocks to get used to the long hours of tensed environment of the exam. It would be ideal to first study all topics and then give the mocks. Go ahead and master your quantitative skills. Wishing you best of luck for your GMAT.
I found GMAT club tests extremely helpful in preparing for the real GMAT exam. I unlocked these tests using my earned points. I felt that level of both verbal and quant were quite close to what i experienced on the test day. Doing timed practice on so many Quant tests.(.25 to be precise) allowed me to experiment with different strategies of attempting the exam and figuring out what works for me best. I am grateful to GMAT club for providing such amazing tests, which helped me in achieving a score of Q50. I also found verbal tests very helpful. I was surprised to find out that I hadn't attempted any of the questions before and that all the questions were new to me.
During my preparation, I was very confused about the type of MOCK tests that I should use to get the real-time test experience. I was not wanting to take the GMAC tests as I had taken them earlier twice. So I picked up GMATCLUB Tests. I took all the quant tests and the verbal tests very seriously.
I benefitted a lot from the quant tests particularly because they cover all the concepts and also help in practicing those concepts making you stronger after each mock. My suggestion would be to practice each mock even if you see repetition in concepts and question type. The questions are very much similar to the real GMAT test. I got Q50 in my real test and I was getting similar scores in the GMATCLUB mocks.
I would strongly recommend the same.

GMAT club CATs are really a helpful bank of questions you can use for your practice. The quant section is a bit more difficult than actual GMAT but it's better to be prepared for the difficult questions if you are aiming at Q50+.
For verbal, I wont advice GMAT club as an ideal solution because GMAT verbal is very much different than CATs. This what i felt when i attempted GMAT.
But as this mocks is made available for free on ocassion such as christmas , You can definitely use this to get an idea about your quant capabilities. Also you can subscribe to the Youtube channel and get this test free for 7 days. All this offers really help out with preparations. Thanks a lot GMAT club for this.
GMAT club offers a 26 Quant CAT & 9 Verbal CAT offer if you have 60+ points you can redeem it. I prepared the verbal basics & quant basics with a old GMAT books from 2015. Then I started using GMAT Club questions. I was unable to practice different topics on the same day. GMAT club test helped to fulfill that GAP. I would recommend any beginner GMAT club test is best place to start your practice after completing basics. I would buy it again since I have not purchased any course separately. The offering from 60pts is 2 week test it would be great if I get it for a month atleast.
The GC tests are a great practice for Quant section. If you can score Q47-51 in GC quant test, you are going to score very highly in real GMAT. I believe these are one of the toughest Quant tests out there and acing these sets you high for the real thing.
The verbal tests on the other hand are above average but not excellent. The quality of questions might be sometimes debatable. But again, very good for solo practice. However, I would prefer official questions for verbal. But if your material is over, well then maybe they can be a good try.
I recommend Gmat club tests.
I have been practicing with the Gmat Club tests for the past 3 months and this is what I have found about them.
1. Easy to Use,user friendly
2. Easy to review Performance & Weak areas.
3.The Explanations & the quality of Questions is good.
4.The diversity of questions & adaptive nature of CAT have been well structured.
5.The only issue I found was the low no. of the Verbal section tests, they could be more in no.
6. The GMAT Club Forum adds up as a Great Support system for the tests, for discussions with others & for adding tips to your arsenal.
7. I found my marks to be reflective of my preparation & they helped me improve my performance steadily.
Overall a great experience. Rating it 4 out of 5. Would definitely recommend it to others.
the GMAT club tests are great to study and plan for the GMAT. the quant is especially good and the solutions provided are extremely helpful. Bunuel uses some of the best methods to get the answer and this is the best part.
I tried most of the questions in the quiz mode focusing on specific topics. It can most useful since the questions are harder that what you see on gmat and taking test can give you lower scores. So during learning, taking quizzes was best for me.
the verbal is not that great and can be avoided. It might not be the most useful thing.
