The GMAT CLUB tests are a must have for GMAT preparation.
I took at least 15 Math CATs and did not take English CATs. So, henceforth everything would be regarding Math CATs.
I would break down my rating on the basis of the following parameters:
1. Quality of questions/solutions: 5; really top-quality questions and very helpful solutions
2. Timing constraint: 4.75; Most of the tests are very well packaged and if you prepare well you will just be able to complete on time. Keeps you on toes.
3. The similarity to GMAT: 4.5; Questions are a tad bit difficult than real GMAT. However, this is helpful in the preparation phase. If you practice these expect at least +2 points from your usual score.
GMAT CLUB CATs was the sole material I used for math practice. I felt the higher difficulty very amusing. Usually, difficult problems are intimidating but when you go through the solutions you always end up learning something really helpful. I usually scored 46-50 on the practice tests and was able to achieve my target score in the real GMAT.
1. I am glad that I subscribed to the GMAT Club tests. It gives me a feel of the actual GMAT test interface.
2. These tests are efficient with a good selection of Questions from the entire GMAT club question bank.
3. I would rate the difficulty and the quality of the Quant Section questions to be higher.
4. I subscribed for these tests for 4 weeks and am planning to increase the duration for another 2 weeks.
5. I was earlier practicing questions from the Veritas question bank (free for all and also quite good), but after preparing for my GMAT exam from the GMAT Club, I have never looked back since. Be it the Question bank or the GMAT Club tests.
After using a number of resources for quants preparation I finally mustered courage to start with GMATClub test. I had read in a number of debriefs that these tests are the hardest and since I am from a non-technical background, I was shying away from these tests. But, alas after trying a number of test prep on-demand courses (I have paid accounts in 3), I decided to start off with GMATClub tests. The first test just went over me, I was spending an average 5-8 minutes on every question. In fact, I used to stop the timer to get a hang of the question. But by the time I reached my test 5, I was spending way less time and my score improved. I rate these tests very high not just because my scores improved but because I can really understand the questions now, decipher what each question is asking and feel way more confident with quants than I was before. The questions are very representative of the actual exam. I wish I had found them earlier before wasting my time and money on a number of resources. I suggest taking and retaking these tests to build solid foundation in quants.
In my humble opinion GMAT Club Tests are one of the best way to score a Q 50 or Q 51 in your Actual GMAT Club.
The diversified questions help to test your concepts and make your weak areas strong,They solidify your concepts, make your understanding concrete in the areas where you have an Abstract idea about the Topics and you have the chance to do similar questions again in the subsequent Tests.Just after taking one or two tests Analyze your weak areas from the score you get and then revisit the concepts and attempt them in the next tests.
Every one should couple this with your preparation to get a Q50 or Q51.
GMAT Club Tests have the highest collections of CATs for Quantitative. You have options to switch from exam mode to practice mode, which is not timed. Every time you finish a CAT, even with practice mode, you will receive a score from 1 to 60 and the corresponding percentile. The answers have been well explained.
The screen image and the font size are same as the Official GMAT. This feature enables to experience the real GMAT test, every time you take a GMAT Club CAT, and to minimize preliminary fear to take the Official GMAT practice tests. The reason is that you have already answered a huge number of questions in the same texture through GMAT Club Tests.
The quant tests you'll usually find(even on official software) are either too easy or too broad in terms of their subject matter as compared to the actual exam.
GMATclub quant tests are a very good recreation in terms of their difficulty levels and subject matter.
Their questions are not heavily formula based but are genuine testers of conceptual understanding and logical application of the same.
I found their Verbal questions to be a little off the mark of the best available and there is scope for improvement in recreating similar content to the actual exam.
GMATclub's interface is a very good recreation of the actual exam software.
It was an amazing course. I learnt a lot from it. the tests are quite good and informative. I had good learning. The Verbal sections were very solid also. I was already pretty strong in this area, but I thought their SC framework helped me get sharper on identifying splits and errors. And they have a good fundamental approach to CR questions which I think is really valuable to those who may be struggling in that area.
Reading this just inspired me to study more than ever before! I've been dragging this GMAT since January and I've just been feeling almost discouraged really. Did my CAT and I got 430, I really want to hit that 700+ mark. And then I'll be fit to do the real exam
Thanks
Gmat club tests are the best. Both in the quantity and quality of questions. The quant questions are of very high quality Also, Gmat club tests is identical to the one on GMAT exam as compared to all other tests.

Great questions and answers from forum members. I am now more confident solving GMAT questions than I used to be. GMAT Club Tests questions are really the best in the market. Truly value for money. You can never go wrong.
GMAT club can really get you a very high score.
The GMAT club tests are unquestionably the best out there after the official gmac resources.
The explanations after each question are second to none. The most impressive thing so far was their swift change to the new gmat format (q-31 at 62minutes) even before other test prep companies could say jack.
The best part is that this resource is super pocket friendly. If you are looking to challenge yourself in the quant section, I will definitely recommend the gmat club.
Thank you Bunuel for the awesome question bank and explanations. They are invaluable
I recommend everyone out there to use the Gmat club platform to improve your quant skills
Starting with plus points . Quant is very good . User interface is pretty similar to actual user interface. Post test Analytics should have included something similar to manhattan Cats where you get to analyse your mistakes more clear. Errors topic wse should be more clearly be shown . verbal section scoring was a bit tough compared to actual Quant . I scored 38 on actuyal GMAT and 18 on Gmat club tests . Quant was pretty similar to actual Gmat , bit tougher . Manhattan Quant is even tougher Explanations for quant questions are mostly given by experts , but verbal section laks explanations for few. Overall with slight modifications it is a good resource , especially fpr quant .
