I really like it, mainly the quantitative part. Verbal (as even GMAT Ninja says) is really hard to make something close to what GMAC does: each questions costs about $3000
(https://gmatclub.com/forum/that-official-gmat-question-might-cost-286098.html). GMAT Club, while it is incredible great, could not afford such a cost.
Conclusion: if you are low in quant it is an excellent choice. If your problem is pacing (timing), it might help you also! Do not use no officials to see how are you improving, as they might mislead you
I recently bought the GMAT Club Tests and that helped me so much in understanding the nuances of Quants questions on the actual exam!
There are enough number of tests and with each test you get a score. These scores are relatively indicative of your actual strength, especially in Quants. These mock tests are a good substitute to a full -ength GMAT Mock as you get a cumulative score towards the end (out of 800).
Not just that, each question has detailed explanations given by moderators and experts. This helps the user understand his mistakes and recognize the patterns to improve upon them. About 2-3 GMAT Club tests per week keeps the user in shape and updated with all the concepts of both Verbal and Quants.

I found the questions to the Quant to be a bit harder.
The questions are very challenging and tricky and they tackle all the small concepts that are always overlooked in theoretical studying. The question bank is huge.
One huge plus is the community help through the forum discussions.
If questions explanations are studied and understood well, will help you tackle the Quant section very easily.
The algorithm is not always consistent. In verbal, one of the tests got me very few 700 questions although I was doing very good with the easier questions and hence was not able to score well.
I had tried the official gmat questions quite a lot of times and hence I was exploring questions on a lot of free of cost and paid platforms. While practicing is always great, but one needs enough exposure to quality questions to be in sync with what to expect in the exam center. So in quest of some quality questions, I stumbled upon the GMAT club test. I was very happily surprised to see the rigor of quant questions. The tests are made up of really unique and well selected questions and fill up any gap that one might feel towards their preparation.
I have taken almost all of the GMAT club quants and verbal tests. Verbal as discussed in plenty of forums, is best studied from the official sources. For quant, I took these tests initially as the questions are absolutely amazing and then continued with them because they were/are fun. For a majority of the tests, my scores ranged from 47-48 and a few 49s. However, as I got to the last few tests (probably the last 3) my scores were inflated (mostly Q50). I noticed that the in the last few tests I was getting maybe 7-8 700 level questions and scoring a Q50 whereas previously I was getting around 16-17 700 level questions. That being said, overall, GMAT club tests (especially for Quant) are an extremely valuable resource and I would like to extend a massive thanks to the team for this.
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.
So, I am a member of GMAT club initially when I joined I was bit confused but since I stated using the interface is too good. GMAT test is really nice as it gives detailed analysis which is the most exciting feature I have liked. Questions are good but one need to remember that its an IQ test so don't expect to get same questions in the exam (you can get one if you are lucky). Quizes are the most interesting part as it gives us to practice more with the weaker section of our preparation. (Detailed analytics of GMAT Club combined with quizzes are gold to work on each and every detail).
My Recommendation: Trust me use it once and you gonna love it.
GMAT club mock tests are simply one of the best in the industry as they provide deep insights into your weak areas and help you deep dive into each weak sections. The questions are one of the toughest that you can encounter which help you be prepared on the test day. I was able to Deep Dive into each of the weak areas and I was able to figure out my the issue in my preparation . I would highly recommend gmat club mock test to anybody who wants to achieve a 50+ score they are one of the great resources on GMAT club.
I am extremely grateful to GMATClub for providing such high-quality tests. I have taken both Quant and Verbal Tests. Quant Tests resemble actual Test questions. Verbal too are close enough. I do not think of any better platform than this for adequate preparation. I found the tests extremely well organized which made me sweat a lot to successfully encounter. Initially, I found the tests really tough; however, with more and more practice, I could gradually improve my skills to combat the tests. Explanations of the practice tests are also superbly presented. I have a large number of takeaways from the practice tests already.
I took these exams 1 test a day for 26 days and reached a score of 50.
It has amazing analytics to gauge your strengths and weaknesses. This helped me improve my quant and verbal skills and also pin-pointed my flaws in verbal accurately.
Review each and every question and make your own quizzes for the weak areas. After the end of all practice questions, I feel much more confident in Quant now. The questions are close to what the actual GMAT asks or maybe even tougher.
Without any second thoughts, go ahead and subscribe to the GMAT club test and get the most that is possible.
All the best for your GMAT.
