Having prepared for GMAT for almost 3.5 months, I recently started writing GMAT Club tests. During preparation, my performance on official guide questions from both Quant and Verbal sections was fairly satisfactory with a high level of accuracy (93-95%). As a result, following advice of fellow GMAT club members, I decided to purchase GMAT Club tests.
Here are the three things that have stood out for me about the Quantitative tests I have written so far:
[1] Quality of questions – Unlike questions from other test companies, GMAT Club test questions seemed much closer to the official GMAT questions vis-à-vis difficulty and clarity of language.
[2] Quality of solutions –GMAT club test solutions (GCTS) are a treasure-trove of learning. I am pleasantly surprised by how elegant, logical, and direct GCTS have been compared my solutions. GCTS highlight and strongly drive the point home that if you are structured and logical in your thinking, you can solve every 700+ level question within 2 minutes time. This has been the biggest takeaway for me.
[3] Analytics – Extremely neat and clean user-interface that really helps you pin-point your mistakes topic-wise, timing-wise, difficulty-wise. Moreover, you get to compare your performance vis-à-vis other students vis-à-vis timing and accuracy.
I found the GMAT club test to be very nice especially quants section since i have already seen other review that the verbal session is not so great so i did not spend my time on verbal question. I also found that it's quant score are pretty accurate.I would also recommend you give at least 3 test of different provider so that you can take average marks of the test and your score will we average of that score +-30 (give or take) for a better score view. I also found that some question were playing with words in which i would mostly get stuck.
Gmat club Test , specially quant quizzes have helped me identify and learn so much about nuances that lead to my low quant score. Also section wise quizzes are big help in getting grip of weak topic as the variety of questions makes one aware of different traps that usually are common on Gmat . Kudos to GMAT CLUB for creating such amazing collection . I have used Gmat club CAT and realized that it helped me to identify what are small points that I was missing .Also analysis that follows that quizzes helps to understanding timing strategy. I used it to learn on what type of questions i was spending more time. Its a must must tool to see change in your performance specially Quant.
My previous GMAT score was Q39 and V38 (overall 640), I struggled a lot in Quants , then started to work on basics with various study materials but never felt confident about the test .
Never knew about GMAT club test earlier , tried it this month .
the type of problems and the level of difficulty is definitely as good as GMAT level and in some cases the questions are really harder. The concepts tested are clear and i believe this is enough if you are targeting Q51
Am currently hitting 48-49 in Mocks , giving my exam in 2 weeks time.
Would recommend GMAT club tests for quants 100%
Are you ready to test your reasoning skills? If Yes, try the GMAT Club Tests.
Going through the OG and official review books, you will feel that Quant section questions are pretty easy and do not challenge you. These tests are great for anyone who is looking to get the tough and tricky questions. Many hard level questions test some general concepts that one might miss in the first go. The detailed review of these questions will undoubtedly enhance your skills and make you confident and ready to get a great score. I highly recommend these to people who are targeting Q50-Q51.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I have bought the gmat club tests an year back. Initially, the hardest questions(most of them are) threw me off. But eventually, my accuracy improved after couple of months(I gave 2 tests a day and completed the set twice). My average score in quant was 45 in gmat club tests. I ended up scoring 48Q in the actual test. For anyone , who aims for 49+ in quant , this test series is of a great help. Usually, you can expect at least a 3 points more in the actual test than the average score in gmat club tests. Also, the breadth of topics and range of concepts covered make the test series one of most comprehensive and under rated amour for quant.

There is a myriad of questions available in the GMAT Club Tests and the questions in the Quantitative section deserve a special mention. Although those quant questions are a bit tougher than one would expect in the GMAT exact, but they do prepare you to end up scoring a Q50 or a Q51.
Best part of the tests is the unlimited resets and a plethora of questions in question bank so that you don't end up facing the same question again even after resetting the test multiple times.
Great work by the GMAT Club Team, keep up the good work!!!
I loved doing the quants section of GMAT club tests. It covered broad topics while putting me on the spot to think about fundamental logic.
For Verbal section, I enjoyed SC and CR. They helped me strengthen my concepts. SC was more about idioms and finner grammar rules. I believe the actual exams are more around them and meaning clarity. For CR, there were certain passages on which assumptions, evaluate and other questions were based on. These questions helped me understand a passage from the examiner's point of view.
I would love to recommend these tests for people who need extra push on Quants. Don't panic, the tests are part of journey. Go through them, learn. Don't take your test score too seriously think from learning from them.
Gmatclub tests are the hardest tests in the gmat world. They are prepared by so many experts. They are not for you if you lack fundamentals. But if you want to score a Quant 51, you are going to need them. Many people initially jump to the hardest ones hoping that If they(like me) do the hard ones right, they will get the easy ones right automatically. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. If you are weak at a particular topic, do the practice quizzes in that particular one and then take the exams. Don't jump right into the 700 Level questions from the start.

I got 6 months access to GMAT Club tests by purchasing e-GMAT course.
I found GMATClub Quant tests a bit tricky. you'll have to be thorough with the concepts to apply these to the questions in under 2 minutes.
If you would like to build your concepts then GMATClub forum is an awesome resource to study and prepare your basic Quant skills. Once you have got exposed to all the topics then its time to asses your skills and GC Quant tests is the most comprehensive test platform to assess and improve your abilities.
These have been my GC Test scores:
Q1: 50
Q2: 42
Q3: 45
Q4: 47
Q5: 44
My Actual GMAT quant scores:
GMAT1: Q48
GMAT2: Q49
GMAT3: Q49
As you'll notice a consistent Q45+ score on GMATclub tests will translate to Q48+ score on actual GMAT exam.
