This time is my third preparation for GMAT. Before that, I did not invest much time in quant and I always took too much time in the test day because I did not have "best practice" to solve quant questions. The questions in OG and Quant review seem easier than the real test a little.
Thank to GmatClub Test, I approach to a very useful quant question bank, with classification based on difficulties and types of question. Each question has very smart answer which helps me a lot in solving the question in minimum time. Besides, the answer part also links to discussion forum so that I saved my limited time when preparing for quant.
I am from India and I am not so great in quant ( as opposed to many Indians who are generally good at quant). Anyway like everyone i solved OG questions and thought they were OK. But actual Gmat has questions tougher than that. Tougher doesnt mean new concepts, but in way of applying the already known questions and traps. Gmatclub tests for which i have taken a 3 month subscription ( I am 3/4th done thru it) and its a blessing. Bevause you can choose the areas youa re weak at and practice them and solutions by Buneul are great and simple and elegant. My only advice would be if you have more time, try solving all the quant (600 & 700) level questions 2-3 times. That way you are assured a great score in Quant.
I got my GMATClub tests as part of e-GMAT course and I'm truly happy for having used GMATClub tests as part of my preparation. When I started my first quant CAT, I literally was disheartened to see such tough questions after having practiced all questions from OG. I didn't want to try these tests again but as I was going through the reviews, I just realized that how such difficult questions from GMATClub can boost my confidence and accuracy. So, irrespective of the difficulty level, I made a point to continue with these tests and my persistent effort started to pay me off. Slowly, my quant score which was fluctuating between Q42 to Q45 started to leap off above Q47. All along, I was reviewing the answers after a test and that helped me to sharpen and condition my mind. All in all, GMATClub tests are responsible for my Q48 score in my first attempt. So, don't hesitate, just try them.
I have used GMAT club test for my preparation. The Quant test is difficult than other Quant tests available. The level of difficulty and the questions are similar to what is tested in GMAT.
Since the answers provided are by the club members, all the approaches to a problem can be seen. The mistakes done by you and others and the correct approach does indeed help to clear the concepts.
The above approach to explain the answers is applied in the Verbal tests too. But the arguments proposed in the explanation of a problem by club members can be confusing. The approach will work well with Quant as it is pure mathematics but the same may not be the case with Verbal which is based on interpretation of data.
Quants CATs are amazing with difficulty level more than GMAT exam. So dont get worry if your scores are low initially. There are so many advanced questons which will improve your skill level.Practice on your weak areas .Also there are so many solutions in this forum to each question and you can see where you get wrong. Also it will show timer for each question so you check your timing relative to others.There are so many analytics which show your weak areas , sort questions on the basis of difficuty level . You can bookmark questions ,see your performance in different topics and so many other tools are there to improve. Overall I will definitely recommend it to someone who is trying for Q50/51.
Have been using GMATCLUB tests since last 4 months and found them useful to the core my each and every concept of P and C as well as statistics have been cleared because of this tests they have helped me a lot to cover my quant concepts w
While they have been helpful a lot for quant they are not that good with verbal they need good experts who can make good questions like quant, in my opinion, i felt verbal questions very un GMAT like didn't feel that good but again it is just my opinion it might be helpful to someone else when it comes to practise or revising concepts or solving something else
I started using GMAT club Tests one month prior to my official gmat exam. I knew I have less time . So practicing something close to the actual exam pattern would have helped me. I practiced 18 test of gmat club quant. And I got 50 in the quant section. I would strongly recommend gmat club Tests. The test questions and the actual gmat questions were very nearly same. And in my actual exam, it felt like just another day when I started my gmat club Test and performed accordingly. It felt like after giving 5 test, i started managing my time properly. Thanks GMAT Club
I would highly recommend gmat club tests to everyone before appearing for the main exam where you can get hold of the latest /old questions from previous gmat papers. Gives a good analysis of your performance and which particular areas candidate is under performing. Also a deep analysis on how your peers performed on the same questions and in what time to get a better grasp of your own performance when compared to others. There are two modes a study mode and exam mode for each of verbal and quant. A candidate can choose his modes according to his comfort and can move forward accordingly. It also contains charts and graphs which gives an in depth analysis of your performance .
The GMAT CAT tests have an amazing variety of questions both sections of verbal and quant. The only suggestion I would make is that they should increase the number of verbal sectional tests. I just wished they had more verbal tests as non native speakers of English like me are on a constant lookout for more verbal questions to improve on that section. The quality of questions is great, in fact it prepares you enough for the GMAT quant section to get your concepts in place. And Sometimes The solutions include many approaches to a question and you can choose what helps you understand the solution the best.
It is really helping me in testing my Verbal and Quant abilities for GMAT. CATs are extremely useful. The question bank is enough to practice for 3 months. Features to make a bundle quiz from wrong answers helps you revise your mistakes before the final exam. Really appreciate the effort for summing up a set of good questions here. Personally using for Verbal CATs since last few weeks, the reports helps to judge what to prepare to get the max ROI.
Feedback: Explanation of few questions can be revised in Verbal. In few questions, the explanation is the sentence is awkward, or some another option is better. Can be explained in a better way.
