Hi Everyone,
GMAT club tests did a good job for improving my quant test taking ability. It resulted in a jump of 6 points on the real GMAT. The quality of questions in the question bank and the explanation is very high and helps to prepare in the right direction.
The interface also reflects the real exam's one. I was able to convert my weaker areas into my strength courtesy the logical and most concise approach of explanations. I would recommend GMAT club tests to everyone who has reached a saturation level and is looking for a jump in the score.
Thanks
GMAT Club tests have an impressive collection of questions with detailed solutions. Quant questions are much harder than those on an actual GMAT. Explanations are really nice and helpful as they show shortcuts that help to solve the problems much faster later on.
Test analysis is very helpful to reveal weaknesses and to concentrate on improving them.
CATs are quite accurate in predicting score on the real test:
my timed CAT scores were 48-50 and my score on a real test was 49.
Overall, GMAT Club tests worth every penny and will be very helpful to everyone who aims to get 49+ on a real exam.
- Scoring pattern seems to be flawed. It takes into account the questions which we answer after the 75 minute deadline in the study mode. For example, score from case 1 will be lower than case 2 in these tests which will not be trues in actual exam
Case 1: 37 questions (21 correct and 16 incorrect) in 75 minutes
Case 2: 31 questions (15 correct and 16 incorrect) and if I correctly mark the remaining 6 questions which I was not able to do in 75 minute deadline
- I would love to learn about the rationale for having 3x quant tests compared to verbal. It will be great to have more verbal tests in the compendium
Dear all,
I would like to say that GMAT Club can make you aware about your real performance in Quant section especially. The Quant Pool has provided the realest collection of questions that no course has ever provided. The Quant tests are tricky and helpful especially for who is targeting 48-51. The question bank is broad and covers all the principles and topics. The explanations provided with answers are concise and of good quality.
Although the interface of tests resembles to the actual GMAT test, I think some quality enhancements are needed in the software.
All in all, if you want to be skilled in Quant Section ...do not skip Gmat club tests.
The GMATCLUB tests are good. First lets talk about the good things :-
The tests, specially the Quant Ones, I personally feel help you to expand your horizon of Quant thinking. After solving quite a many official problems, I can say that the Quant Problems have a falvour of their own which indeed help you to stretch your “Quant” Muscles which is a good thing one way.
Secondly, the scoring algorithm is quite good. Though I found it out to behave slightly differently in some cases. It gives you a healthy mix of 500/600/700 Level problems to test your expertise at all these levels.
The diagnostics/reporting is quite good ( not excellent… more on it later) it helps you see which problems you got wrong & how other GMATCLubbers have performed on that question. So it helps ypu to do a decent analysis of your performance.
But from my experience there are few things that can be further improved:-
1. Scoring Algorithm :- The Scoring Algorithm is quite good but there is still some gap that can be optimised compared to the GMATPrep Algorithm. Also It seems to me ( my personal opinion though), for the same number of incorrect questions, the GMATPrep softwares would have provided a lower score comared to what GMATClub offers. I might be wrong, but then again this is what I felt like.
2. Diagnostics :- This is an area I feel a there is a big scope for improvement. After every test, it can be an option which provides deeper analysis of the candidates mistakes. To be more specific, if it provides content/topic specific classification. If it helps the candidates to identify in which topics they’re making more mistakes, and if they can present it in a nice graphic form, it would be much more helpful for the candidate to find out the weak areas on which they can work upon. Similarly, similar graphics can be provided for strength areas. So that after picking a few of these tests, candidates can be made quite aware of their strengths and weaknesses. This I believe will go a long way candidates to improve the score.
But all in all, it is perhaps one of the best mock test out there. Great work you guys.
This review is for GMAT Club Tests (GCT) for Quant.
GCT Quant Questions are generally more difficult than QG or GMAT prep but it helps build stamina, helping tackle most difficult questions.
Explanations are very clear and many GCT Quant questions are discussed for shortcuts or alternative approach. You will also have option to ask for clarifications to experts and post your feedback on questions.
Further, Practicing GCT Questions helps you overcome common traps that are found in highest difficult questions.
Questions are pooled in from all Quant areas.
To Summarize, I would say GCT Quant is good and would advise to go for it.
GMAT test club helps identify your weakness and resolve them. the customizable quizzes are great tools to improve your area of weaknesses. In addition, the questions are generally harder than the really GMAT ones. Additional challenging 700+ questions are available through the Math Revolution addon. I strongly advise to take them. It's a great complement to GMAT club tests.
The only negative point is that the GMAT club pool of questions feeds CAT test and quizzes. If you are focusing on 700+ questions in your quizzes, it is very likely that when you take a GMAT club CAT, you already ran out of 700 + questions.
In middle of your preparation,GMAT Club tests help you stay subtle and always on your toes since these tests are above actual GMAT questions level. It may seem demotivating in the beginning of your preparations but as we start building confidence,these tests keep giving you a check on your preparations and make you think more on how to improve your concepts. Bunuel explanations for every single question is an icing on the cake,his definite approach gives another dimension to your thinking process. A small edit in my review-These tests deserve 5 star rating. :)
In short,GMAT club tests are must if you want to demolish especially quants on exam day. All the best!!
-GMAT club tests are the most reliable resources for quant section.
-The 500,600 & 700 level questions are structurally perfect to achieve a quant score of '50'.
-The explanations help you improve your approach with time.
-Solutions provided by "Bunnel" are the icing on the cake.

I would recommend everyone to go for GMAT club Tests(Quant).
Scoring more than 90%ile in actual GMAT in Quant section becomes easy after taking quizzes from GMATCLUB.
Moreover, the flexibility of studying options provided by gmatclub such as Quizzes, Timed & Untimed tests, Building your own quiz not only makes learning effective but also caters to the specific weaknesses of each student.
I will truly recommend MBA aspirants, struggling in Quantitative Aptitude, to try gmatclub tests and improve their scores by more than 100%
These tests are great for quant and a must for anyone who is serious about working on their quant! They could be improved on the verbal front but good on the whole. The tests cover almost all the topics for quant and have a good distribution of questions in terms of difficulty when it comes to the CAT tests. Even the timing factor is well calculated and the CAT tests feel like they are manageable in the standard pace. The explanations provided with answers are of good quality and help build concepts very well. Finally, the analytics offered are fabulous! Identifying weak areas has never been easier.
I came to know about e-GMAT in Nov 2016 from Gmat club portal. After going through several reviews by many of achievers, I decided to join the course. I went through the free trial and blown off by the approach guided by the expert. I am an avid reader of English Newspaper in India but never read in the way described by e-GMAT.
I started going through the course and got hang on the verbal section. Sentence correction module is taught in a way a layman can also build upon to match the standard of GMAT or I want to say that the course is overly detailed and sentences are operated upon in great detail. It is like a surgeon operating the most entangled veins.
The quant course is still getting better but the approach taught is still the same as taught for verbal. Especially the number system and algebra are taught in most elaborate manner.
All in all, this is one of the best course available in the market in this price range.
Thanks.
