I would like to review the GMATClub Tests in terms of two parameters-
Disclaimer: I have taken a few untimed tests (yes - a great function to use the flexibility of taking test timed or untimed.)
Content- I liked the rigour of both Quant as well Verbal CATs. I hope it was on a tougher side compared to the real GMAT tests as it has the majority of questions of 700 level.
But I would have liked to see a comparable score based on the difficulty of the question.
Functionality- The MY PERFORMANCE tab has various super useful functionalities such as creating a custom quiz out of attempted test, sorting and filtering based on various parameters and etc.
An option with combined verbal and quant test would be like a cherry on the cake.
Thanks
The variety of questions in the GMAT club tests along with the GMAC free tests is sufficient for GMAT. The quant section of the GMAT club tests I feel is harder than the real GMAT. The best thing about these tests is that they mimic the GMAT completely. The tests are pretty accurate in predicting the scores. I found the filter of question difficulty level divided into 500, 600 and 700, as one of the best features.The explanation to every question in the test is very well put. Can the explanation give a gist of theory or at least a link to the theory that the question caters to? This will help in quick revision of the topic concerned.

GMAT Club Quant tests have been incredibly useful and helping me to increase my timing on and understanding of 700-level questions. The major drawback is the mistake analysis section, which doesn't allow the user to compare performance on the same question formats across many tests that had been taken. For instance, it would be great to see what is the ratio/level of right/wrong answers in combinatorics in my last 5 Quant tests. In some way, Manhattan GMAT has a similar analytical tool on its website when you take multiple tests. Basically, it would be great to track my progress in specific sections of the Quant that I feel need improvement.
This is the first ever product I have tried from the GMAT club and I can safely say that I absolutely love it. A few things I specially want to highlight:
> Detailed Analysis: Each test comes with a detailed analysis and easy to sort/filter table view of all the correct/incorrect answers
> Easy to Download: You can save PDF and Excel copies of the test results to track progress.
> Multiple Answer explanations: The answers have been linked to various GMAT club pages where more than one explanation has been given.
> New Important Concepts: There were many concepts which I found after looking at the answers of a wrong question.
Maths Tests:
The GMAT Club Maths/Quant tests just as every other person on the forum states, are pretty good. I would not say that the questions are extremely difficult, but rather that some of the questions are of a really good level. The good part about the tests is that there are a lot of 700+ level questions which makes the tests overall may be a little more difficult than the actual GMAT.
These exams if properly practised will help you improve your score.
Verbal:
I found the verbal tests to be not exactly in line with the actual GMAT. My scores were also not consistent. Ranging from a mere 24 to a 38, whereas my scores on the GMAT Prep exams has been pretty much around 37-38. So there might be a lot of people thinking that their preparation is lacking, just because they scored less here. But it's not a true indication of the actual score you will get. So just practice these questions and look at the solutions.

These tests, especially of maths, are really good for reality check,giving you a through practice.Though little bit of improvement regarding question sequencing is required in verbal section,these tests provide 80% idea regarding your preparation status At start I was lacking confidence that I can complete the test on time.But after repeated practice I am confident enough.I have appeared for the GMAT once, scoring 700, and hope to score further this time. I would recommend these tests for those who are lacking self confidence to complete the tests in time as they sufficiently provide practice, helping to improve your GMAT score.
The GMAT club tests are worth the hype. There are a lot of really great things about them: (i) the number! There are 26 tests (1,500+ questions), which is a TON. Each question has a detailed explanation, stats from others who attempted the same question (timing, accuracy, etc.), and a link to the forum thread discussing the question. (ii)- difficulty. These tests are tough! Much more so than the real thing. Safe to say that if you can do well on these tests, you’ll have no problem at all with the actual. (iii) the support. Bunuel, bb, and team have done an excellent job creating and curating these questions and the tests. If you are ever having any technical issues with the tests, they are there to help (and fast too!)
In summary- highly recommended. BTW: you can get access to these tests by redeeming 25 kudos or by using GMAT Club points. Also, they open up access to the public during holidays also! (obviously not ideal to be doing math tests during a holiday weekend, but it’s still nice!)
I had been relying on GMATclub workbook and other mock tests available in dumps but using GMAT club gave me a new perspective. It is extremely thorough and as close to possible to the real tests. You get a thorough explanation of every question and the best part is, the interface gives you everything you need to analyze your score and improve on the weak areas. You can sort by correct or incorrect and follow up in the review discussion on the forum. The only downside is limited subscription which I hope to extend soon.
For anyone relying on more expensive tests, give it a shot here and you will surely find the tests worth the $$$ and/or effort.
The quant section has a lot of questions which are very useful in GMAT preparation. The quiz is very good and you have a lot of practice material which can be very helpful in gmat preparation. Verbal has relatively few questions when compared to quant however solving them is a good practice. Overall the CATS are adaptive and good. Lot of material to study need good time to go through. Free access to the material on a few days is an additional advantage for students who are looking for free access. Go for it to get a lot of practice for the GMAT test. Utilize the forums properly as there is a lot of information in it as well
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.
It is an excellent value add at this price. Also, the number of questions available is quite vast, we get 1500+ questions which give you a good level of practice before the D-day.
I would highly recommend these test to someone who is looking to boost his/her score from 650 to 750+ level.
