The GMAT Club Test is very helpful – it is a CAT test with quality quants questions and test analysis. Many of the quants questions are harder questions selected on the forum that are well-worth studying. The questions tend to be slightly harder than those you encounter in the official guide, helping test taken get better at 600-700 levels questions.
The solutions are well written (I personally think it is better written than the official GMAT guide’s) – clear and sometimes include tips and shortcuts. If you feel that the solution is not enough, you could also click the link to the forum to see fellow test takers’ queries and experts’ solutions. The analysis tool was immensely helpful in improving my score, allowing me to pinpoint my weak areas by topic and time taken.
I found the questions very challenging yet satisfying. The verbal exams definitely have something weird going on with the scores but if you ignore the score and concentrate on the material, you can see improvements. Also gives you the confidence that if you do well here, you are pretty much set.
Quant like many say is the star here. The number of tests really makes you not worry about running out of questions, so you can really practice your timing or accuracy depending on your preference. You will also get a disproportional amount of 700 level questions, but they will be stacked together which simulates the GMAT as well as possible. Again if you are scoring high here, you can be confident that when you try the official GMAT, you will be finding it much easier.
Overall I have had a really positive experience. The scoring algorithm good dent your confidence a bit, but know that its good in the long run.
It has helped me a lot with all the process of hard preparation. Not only in the quant part (the most useful) but also in the verbal with a los of practice in each section. All the support was awesome. It is sometimes really hard to dedicate a lot of time in the process and so the resources you have to apply must be adequeate and usefull and this was the case. The best verbal parts were CR and RC. So, at the end, i would definitely recommend all this stuff to any friend interested in all the gmat world.
I am preparing for GMAT while also working - hence I dont have much time to go through many books - or to hunt for interesting or tough questions. GMAT club tests has really been a huge savior.
Not just that it provides interesting and challenging questions - questions are also organised to topics which gives me ease of studying. The analytics are really good and gives statistics such as timing and the topics usually answered wrong.
The CAT's are as close a simulation to GMAT as possible -
and a whopping 25 in number. In fact , i would say the CATs alone are enough to get you a decent score. Even the Verbal CATs and questions are quite realistic. The only grouse i have is that Verbal CATs are 3 in number.
Nevertheless, I find GMATclub tests really the best for Quants over anything else.
I was always stuck at 48 and 49 in my quants tests, and had targeted for a perfect score in the final test. With an exhaustive lists of questions, with majority being 700 level questions, this test set is easily the best material available for reaching your target. Combining these tests with the study materials of Bunuel, especially the GMATClub math book, I was able to score 50 in the actual tests.
About the test tool, it provides you with a lot of analysis of your tests and you can use them to improve your performance. The tool has the inbuilt error log that will help you analyze your weak areas.Highly recommended!

When I was shopping around for various GMAT Prep courses, I was disappointed at how expensive all of the packages were. But a friend of mine who scored 700 on his GMATs strongly recommended GMATClub along with the GMAT Official Guide, which totaled about 25% of the costs of other leading brands.
I was blown away. On the blog, there are tips and (most importantly for me) different study schedules that you can select. I picked and held to a study schedule, and it prepared me for the exam right on time.
GMATClub Tests are one of the closest simulated mock GMAT Tests available in the market. I have come across some really challenging questions both in Quant and Verbal.
GMATClub is not only for preparation of the exam but for much more. One can keep a track of the schools in which one is applying for.
If you are wondering which GMAT Prep course to get, and you don't need to be one-on-one with an instructor, let me save you some time and money: buy GMATClub subscription along with the official guides.
The best part of this series is that most of the questions are GMAT like in terms of application. This helped me achieve a strong score improvement in the quant section in a relatively short period of time.
The solution are clear and concise. Additionally, due to the forum like nature of the solutions you are also able to see multiple methods to solve the problems and most of your doubts will probably already have been asked and answered The quantitative tests and in depth analysis helped me identify and improve my weaker areas. The question bank is huge and the quiz mode was a great way to get practice apart from testing.
The GMAT club tests are pretty handy when you have exhausted your OG materials. The quants section specifically is a very good exercise platform for GMAT. The questions are one or two notches tougher than the original exam. But, they are mighty effective in enhancing the quants skill-set. I also liked their Verbal section as the questions are very carefully prepared for the final day. The sentence correction is very precise and the questions hit the required concepts nicely. The CR and RC sections are also good and can be utilized when OG questions are exhausted. With that I wish everyone best of luck!!!!
Cheers
The Gmatclub's tests were bundled together with my e-gmat course. I found the resource to be extremely useful, especially for Quant. In addition to the questions, the test analysis section was helpful to review my answers and to help me identify my weak points. Below most explanations have comments by other members. These comments were useful to clarify any doubts on the explanations. Finally, the verbal section was a bit easier than the GMATprep. I do recommend to purchase the subscription if you are looking to improve your Quant score.
Good luck with your prep. Its was an interesting journey and GMAT club was extremely resourceful along my way.
I have to admit that the GMAT Club Tests are very difficult and do not be disappointed to see lower scores especially Quant scores in the GMAT Club tests. Despite not reflecting the actual test, these tests have an advantage that it will be easier for the candidate to crack the actual test having practiced with difficult ones. The test sharpens the skill to look out for prominent and silly mistakes that even an erudite can make. This will be a great tool to revise and practice after learning the basics, while it will be in vain otherwise. Overall, its worth a shot.
