While we are preparing for the GMAT, I could have attained some level of accuracy, but finishing the verbal/quant section in the time allocated was another big challenge.
Mastering the questions does not goes accordingly with mastering the timing, and I think that GMAT Club tests, are among the most helpful tools to practice semi-tests of verbal and quant and measure the progress more closely.
That was so helpful to me, moving from V34/35 with 30min above the 65 MIN allocated, to V37/38 in just the allocated time.
The verbal gmatclub tests are so close to the level of real gmat questions, as compared with OG questions. On the other hand, the Quant part, when compared with that of the OG, presents a much more difficulty.
It could be seen as a good way to prepare because you are faced with a harder level than what you're going to see at the Official Test, but the sequencing of questions could harm your prep
The tests contain a mix of medium to high difficult quant questions that really help with improving both accuracy and speed. Most of these questions are new and you would not be biased by other questions you may have used to practice so far. (I did not try the verbal ones). I have given 5-6 tests so far and they helped me identify my weak areas and work on them.
The best way to use these would be to take them after you have worked on the topics you got wrong in the last test. Since there are many tests available, one can strategically use them to improve over time by focusing on strengths and weaknesses.
I find gmatclub quant tests very useful. The quant tests have excellent questions, though verbal questions are not as good as quant questions.
The tests analytics need improvement. Weak areas and strong areas of topic and subtopic need statistical analysis. Also if time analysis in 4 sections added, similar to GMAT ESR, it would be better to analyze not just questions but time management as well.
I like pause and tests in study mode feature. Also, 23 quant tests are plenty and no need to practice other tests. Though cant say same about verbal as it is only 9.
I liked full tests, IR and AWA sections that are added recently in GMAT club tests. It gives full mock experience.
GMAT Club Tests are great in case one wants to practice higher-level quant. In such tests, one can typically expect to see close to twelve 700-level questions, ten 600-level questions and the remaining 500-level questions (for a late 40s level). The questions tested are not lengthy but tricky, a kind similar to the ones that a student can encounter in the actual GMAT. The concepts tested are also very much similar to the actual test. Verbal tests are decent for practice too, however answers to few questions can be debatable at times. In case of verbal, it is best to rely on official sources.
Disclaimer: Given that the test is adaptive, the proportion of questions across varying levels of difficulty may vary.
I aspire to score 720+ on the GMAT. Coming from a non-math background, Quant has been really difficult for me.
I covered the basics and slowly was able to do some questions in both PS and DS.
I wanted higher difficult questions and that's where the recommended GMAT Club Tests came in.
The quality of questions is so good that it makes you think not just the basics, but the entire logical concept of that topic.
The ease of use is splendid. Statistics help you a lot. It's very insightful.
The explanations are at your finger-tips. Also, if you want to practice, you can use STUDY MODE as well (un-timed).
I recommend it highly for Quant!
I'm yet to explore verbal.
I would like to highlight one thing about the GC tests that they are really good and provides a test taker with good questions. The GC tests' quant questions are way above than the questions one will face in actual test.
I could not take the best out of these tests as I was not seriously taking the Verbal tests, which were also good and i had to pay during my actual test.
The explanations given by Bunuel for quant questions are really helpful in understanding the gap in the method and those explanations also enhance the thinking of the test taker.
I attempted full legth GMATClub tests.The quant part seems quite easy as I am from engineering background and am good in mathematics .The verbal questions were little tough but inline with GMAT.I really like final GMATtest like interface.Usually while practicing our questions at home or on GMATCLUB, I had habit of looking at time which was in increasing order for each questions as time passes But in real GMAT exam it is reverse ,so in 1st test it was little hectic task to know how much time I have devoted to particular question.But as I gave more test ,I was familier with interface.
I am impressed with Enhanced Score Report ,it gives sectionwise time management report ,summary gives comparative details of scores of each section .Also verbal and quant section's performance, subsection ranking,performance by fundamental skills ,are evry students must need points to improve score by detacting section and subsection analysis.
Tough to describe in just words but GMAT Club tests are a treat for anyone aiming to get better at time management and facing more difficult questions than the actual GMAT, especially in Quant. And its not calculation intensive and time consuming like Manhattan Prep Mocks (which are also good btw, no negativity towards those either), if you know the right method to use, any question can be solved in under 2 minutes
Same goes for verbal
And this new pro version which includes 8 full length tests with IR and AWA, what's to beat? Plus GMAT like interface for us to get used to
And the cherry on top, 25 kudos gets you a 3 month subscription. Just work hard and get kudos here and get 8 free full length mocks better than anything out there
ALWAYS recommend
got it in webinar. willing to give it a try. will help in score. just like official tests of gmac these are from gmat club. GMAT CLUB's test if very perfect for practice. it is worth every penny, considering the number of tests you get for the price compared to other GMAT prep sources. quality and level of the questions are also perfect. especially for the quant, it is the best practice for GMAT and the level and logic of the questions are good. I would suggest taking everyday a quant test on the GMAT club through the whole month before your actual GMAT.
I found gmat club tests to be bit tough than the actual OG, GMAC question types. They are more mathematical intensive. All the explanations are to the point, and if you do well in these test you are bound to do well in the final exam.
I believe one should only attempt these tests once they are fully done with their preparation. Considering the level of details required to finish some of these questions.
Additionally, i really like the discussion feature in each question types, it will help you to discuss doubts in the official explanation in case you are not able to understand any part.
