I have used gmatclub's tests extensively and it is the best practice platform I have come across so far. The questions are thought provoking, the algorithm seems a close match with GMAT prep and most importantly the solution to the 700+ questions are amazing.
From an affordability standpoint too, the tests are great value for money. The question database is huge for quant and is enough for 25 CAT exams. I am going to attempt GMAT for a second time and I still had around 10 quant CATs available for quant after practicing hard for my first attempt. This is important because fresh questions always test the real improvement than old questions.
I have taken two verbal tests and I feel the quality of the questions is good in the verbal section too. Overall, I think the tests are a great way to practice and prepare for GMAT!

There are quite a few GMAT resources in the online platforms which are very close to GMAT, GMAT club test are one of these.
There are other test series which are often tougher than GMAT, but the problem with those test series is that you are not able to gauge enough confidence about the score you are going to get in real GMAT, you can just hope about a better performance in GMAT given that the test series was tougher than GMAT.
The beautiful thing about GMAT club tests is the analysis which they put together for your test performance, and if this analysis is put to use to for strategic sectional preparation, then it can really help you boost your performance.
Generally as a rule of thumb, the score in your last 3-4 tests can act as a benchmark performance and you an expect more or less the same in real GMAT.
I started my GMAT preparation in Sep 2016. As I was away from study for 6 years, I lost touch with maths and grammar. Like most GMAT test takers, I started my preparation with GMAT Club forum questions. Slowly, I gained the momentum. After three weeks of practice, I decided to 'test' my preparation. As I said earlier, after six years of gap I did not feel like taking the full-length tests to start. So I decided to take the sectional tests first and then attempt the full-length tests. I purchased the GMAT tests. The best part of GMAT Tests is that they give you ample amount of practice on both the sections. I started taking the Quant Test after every two days and verbal test after every three days. I realized that GMAT Club tests not only give the exam practice, but also help prepare the concept if one reviews one's mistake properly. After each test, I reviewed my mistakes. After giving 10 Quant and 6 Verbal Tests, I felt confident to take Official GMAT Prep Tests. Soon, I started getting my target score on Official GMAT Prep Tests, and I booked the GMAT Exam. On GMAT Day, 21st Nov 2017, I scored 50 in Quant.
I give credit to GMAT Club tests for giving me sufficient practice.
Thanks Team GMAT Club!!
GMAT Club tests are the hardest Quant tests i have done.
They are really well done, and they have the advantage of being linked to a forum discussion, so you can ask the test makers and also see the doubts of other students. Also you'll have at least 3 ways of solving a question, which is great for a lot of topics such as probability and combinatorics.
Definitely is a must for Quant.
The questions levels are really high, comparable to Manhattan but more concise, looking more like the real thing.
Expect at least +2 point in real scale quant grade vs GMATClub.
I really enjoyed GMAT CLUB CAT'S. One of the things about the program itself that makes it so valuable is that each problem you do has a text explanation and that too with different approaches. I did find their Quant section to be better than the verbal section. You get access to a huge number of problems. If you are willing to take the time and go through each of their questions you will see yourself improving in areas you needed help with. As far as the dashboard I am no sure how accurate the score it shows there reflects considering my projected score for quant was way lower. I do believe using GMAT CLUB and their CAT tests gave me the increase in my score I was looking for.
I had heard about Gmat club from a lot of people. I bought the gmat club package for practice tests. Their Math content is very good. The questions are quite similar to what you will see on Manhattan tests. And the explanations are great too! I didn't find the English questions to helpful because a lot of them didn't have proper explanations and most of the times I did not know where I was going wrong. But if you want great practice questions for Math, then you should go for GmatClub. They have some of the best questions you will find out there!
GMAT Club is the finest set of CATs right now available in the market. The level of questions in these exams make your Quant almost flawless. Their questions are very much similar to what appears on the real test. Apart from Quant their Verbal is also amazing which makes them a definite choice for anyone who wants to score 700+. GMAT Club Tests provides students with the skills and strategies essential for success. There are higher standards for what defines a competitive GMAT score today. We have no magic formula, no silver bullet, no empty guarantees. Instead, we have three basic principles that separate us from other test prep: the best teachers, the most advanced learning approach, and a focus solely placed on the GMAT.
GMAT Club tests do indeed stand for their excellency in Quant questions. Verbal is on an average scale when compared to other tests, but I personally think that quant section is worthy.
The adaptability can be spotted in Quant but not in verbal. These are the first tests i have taken after the new pattern change in GMAC. Hence, I will like to check with other tests too regarding the adaptability comparison with other tests.
The questions are intriguing, enticing and well-rounded. Their explanations are wise and well informed by best moderators.
The scoring algorithm is a bit off in verbal, with few questions debatable and with skeptical answers. Verbal section can be improved. Sometimes we can see the harder questions popping out from the very 3rd question in verbal.
However, I find the tests very useful because of their resourceful insights in Quantitative and most verbal questions. Best Practice for a race against time. I have completed Real GMAT exam quant section in 36 min / 75 min. But I take around 55 min to 60 min to complete the Quant section in GMAT club.
5 rating for Quant. 3.5 for verbal
Gmat Club Quant tests are extremely challenging but will help you to go through nuances and subtleties of different concepts. Answers explanations are helpful as they will teach you different shortcuts or how can you approach the problem solving process differently and efficiently. (I honestly prefer gmat club quant tests over Manhattan CATs)
Verbal questions are not as high quality as quant questions. However, there are still tons of knowledge you can extract out of SC questions and these knowledge are very well reflective to real gmat questions. Therefore, I still highly recommend purchasing verbal package as well. CR questions are just okay – too many close choices and I’m not completely agree with the explanation. RC challenge level is pretty comparative to real gmat questions so it’s great source to practice but I will probably utilize whether manhattan or veritas prep sources more to practice verbal. But again, you need to get your hands on many high quality questions as many as possible, especially for +700 level questions.

I have been preparing on GmatClub for sometime now and am due to give my second attempt in July. GmatClub Tests have been helpful in challenging me and my approach, which has led to improved results so far. The questions and explanations are good and helpful especially for Quants since I have learnt how to apply techniques and solve questions quickly. Another feature of the tests that I have been using are the Quizzes, which help in targeted practice of 600-700 questions. Since the GmatClub database is expansive, the tests throw new and difficult questions at you and help in building stamina, imploring you to think differently. I would recommend these tests for targeted practice and challenging questions.
