This should be the destination if someone is aiming to score high on Quant. 700+ question are very similar to actual GMAT.One can slowly improve the proficiency level by practicing the quizzes and then take few CATs to a feel of actual GMAT Quant.
I wish this had some tutorial specially designed to cater to GMAT quant. Then this could be just 1 stop shop for all your Quant related queries.
The tool to analyze the progress is very well designed and actually helps to analyze and improve. One can create his own customized tests to practice individual topics.
Kudos Great Job !!
I have given the GMAT thrice. The first time I used only the OG and landed up with a Q46 - majorly because I ran out of time and couldn't answer the last 5 Quant questions.
The second time, I did the OG and the OG supplement (quant review), but still couldn't go beyond Q48. It seemed I had learnt everything, but I was still blank on a few questions.
This year though, I read review and decided to buy the tests. Because I didn't have much time before the GMAT, I could complete only 8-10 of the GMATClub quant tests, but, oh boy, they made a WORLD of difference. What they did was, made me comfortable with each question type and helped me pace. It helped that the interface is exactly like the GMAT.
There is a bug though - when you switch to practice mode, the timer's label is changed but the direction of timer isn't. The only other con is that some questions may not exactly be 'GMAT' types, but these are rare - so if you're stuck at a question / concepts seems absolutely alien - check out the question stats. If the timer says average for all GC users is over 4-5 minutes, chances are that question wouldn't appear on the real test.
All in all, I would say GC tests had a BIG role in me going Q48 to Q50, would definitely recommend!
Firstly I would like to say that Gmat Club is an extremely helpful and updated community. It has every information one needs about Gmat. Coming back to the tests I found Gmat Club test extremely good predictor of Official GMAT. It's one of the best gmat test experience one can have in the market. It's scoring system and questions are quite accurate in difficulty. To be honest one can rely on Gmat Club test.
Secondly GC test are somewhat difficult , not crazy difficult but there is a difference of 5-10%.
All in all it is a good practice and let's you know pretty accurate score and helps by letting you know where you stand.
To improve the gmat club test I would suggest adding more test so that i can be confident enough before giving Gmat as there are not many good gmat test Available in the market.
Gmat club tests are most reliable tests, vetted by Genius Bunuel himself. In my experience while preparing for my Gmat i have been using these tests where i used to score Quant 42-48 and verbal average 30 .Quant tests are very useful to learn/approach advanced questions and to refine one's skills and pacing. They also provide difficulty level of questions where you went wrong in Results. 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 .
I recommed GMATCLUB quant tests to anyone who want to fine tune his skills and reach 50+.
Gmat club tests are most reliable tests.Quant tests are a must for anyone targeting 48 and above.It is very useful to learn/approach advanced questions and to refine one's skills and pacing.The explanations for each of the questions and the technique is super. The type of questions matches those of the actual GMAT.Moreover explanations provided makes it possible to solve any 700+ question in under 2 minutes.
They also provide difficulty level of questions where you went wrong in Results.Performance analysis and various different data helps to improve our score and concentrate on weaker areas.
It will be really helpful if we were provided full length mock exams in addition to Quant & verbal tests!.
I would recommend the gmatclub tests for one's preparation towards the GMAT.
When I took the first GMAT Club Quants Tests, I scored a mere 44. I realised that achieving a 50-51 on Quants is not just about being strong in Maths. GMAT Club Tests test you on the most difficult areas and prepare you for the worst of the situations. GMATClub Tests helped me move from a 44 on mocks to a 50 on real GMAT If anyone plans to score north of 50 on quants, GMAT CLUB tests are a must. Don't be disheartened by the low scores on the GMATClub Tests. The explanation given for each question is flawless and helps to clear the concepts. The average score on GMATClub Tests is the actual measure of the scores on the real test.
Really like the tests. For math, you would not have to practice separately as these tests are more than sufficient. The tests cover all the important concepts starting from basics to 700+ standard questions. Personally I feel, this should be a good start for the whole test prep. The interface is also really good and more or less gives you the feel of the actual gmat exam. For this reason, I would definitely recommend taking these tests to start your test prep.
More tests in Verbal section would have been useful. Only 8 tests are available and i felt this is a little less.
I got the gmat club tests along with the e-gmat course. I used to make sure i take one quant test every 2 weeks during my prep. I did not touch the verbal tests to be honest (since I had a lot of stuff to cover for verbal anyway).
I was pretty confident about my quant skills and used gmat club tests to cover any cracks in my math concepts. I used to score on an avg of Q50 in my gmat club quant tests.
I would say dont worry about the score too much, but make sure you spend enough time reviewing your mistakes.
I wish I had discovered these tests right at the beginning of my preparation. The quality of the questions for the 26 quant tests is unmatched . These tests give the best return on investment. The questions as such are not as tough and do not involve lots of lengthy calculations like those on Manhattan tests, but all the questions are super tricky and challenging. I sometimes felt too frustrated when I did not fare well in quite a lot of these tests, but my failures and diligence to improve on the subsequent tests prepared me for the real thing. On a good day, I scored anywhere from 44-50 on these tests and I scored Q49 on the real thing. However, at times (several of them) I could not even cross 30. So my advice is that do not feel disheartened during the first few quant tests if you do not score decently, but continue to learn from your mistakes and you will surely see the difference later.
Verbal Review: The verbal tests were not bad, I attempted them all. I used them as additional material to challenge myself with verbal logic. However, the underlying logic in the questions (especially SC) was not at all similar to the questions on the real GMAT. I could hardly cross V30 on any of the verbal tests, except a couple of them. I got V41 on the real thing. So I would advice you to not rely so much on the Verbal tests.
I got subscription of GMAT Club test when I purchased the e-gmat course.The CATs seem to be really good and among both the sections I really feel that the quant section is a bit harder than the actual test but that is always better.The answer explanation to each question is so elaborative.With GMAT Club test I have been able to improve in areas like combinatorics and absolute values.Since I scored aQ46 on my last GMAT test,I am looking forward to improve my quant score to Q50-51.
Personally I would recommend GCTs to anyone who is looking forward to score a Q51 in quant.
Hi Aanch24,
Your review mentioning that you couldn’t cross 30 on some days is like a breath of life for me at the moment - I’m done with 12 GMAT club Quant Tests and have scored above 40 in 6 of them. The scores range from 40-46.
In the rest, I’ve scored in the high 30’s (above 36). I’m so discouraged and frustrated because I have my actual exam in 20 days and my target score is Q49! I received a Q46 in the last GMATPrep mock I gave (no repeat questions but lots of silly mistakes due to nerves).
Can you post your range of scores in the GMATClub Tests? Also, any advice on how to get the most out of them?
Thank you!
