I've been practicing GMATClub's test for my 2nd attempt and found it really helpful. The question bank is very diversified with thousands of questions in Quant and nearly 500 questions in Verbal. The good point is that all the questions you have done are recorded so that you will never encounter them again unless you clear your history. Besides, the "Collection" tab also helps you to save all the remarkable questions into collections for the revision. For me, I created 2 collections for my Error Logs in Quant and Verbal, it's easy for me to track all of my errors and get over them. The final great thing is the Ability analysis when you complete the tests, it will vary once you complete any test in Quant or Verbal, so that you can have an idea of where you are now.
However, it will be much better if there are more choices for Verbal compared to Quant. As my weak part is Verbal, I want to practice it more and more.

There are 29 quantitative tests that contains more than enough question to enable you to crack real gmat test. These questions are not only great in number but also in terms of variety and standard. Also, explanation is concise , clear and to the point. In my opinion if one can attempt and revise these test honestly, he/she has more than 90% probability to crack the quantitative section of test with an score greater than 48.
At the same time, verbal test is good enough to practice your timing and bouncer questions. 8 test offers great practice and revision. One may find some questions and there explanations not in the line of gmat cat, but you go through the discussion of the question, you realize that question has merit and standard.
The tests were a real exposure to questions appearing on gmat. i could not only revise my concepts, but get a good grip on the time management part. The tests are bit a level up compared to the real gmat but very good to reach the 50 mark in actual exam.
the tests are designed to accurately predict the performance on real test. the explanations followed for each questions are really good and easily understanding.
the solutions provided by bunuel are really good and one can understand the explanations even if the person is not from the math background. i strongly recommend evry serious taker to attempt gmatclub test.
Hi,
I have used gmatclub forum and discussions for quite some time now, although i never registered(call it my laziness). And i must say that they are pretty good. People like Sajjad and Bunuel have extensive knowledge of all the topics and the explanations are impeccable on quant. Although the verbal forum needs some improvement here and there. But i am sure with time and awesome community things will go in a right direction
Then a friend of mine told me to use the gmatclub test a try, which i did from his id(i know this is bad, but i am happy i did it.). I must say the level of questions, the detailed analysis were simply awesome.
Keep up the good work guys.
All the best.
I have taken some gmat club tests and honestly i do not think there is any other resource that can help you identify your weak areas better than these tests. These tests provide you a thorough analysis of your performance The quality of questions are second to none and help you enhance your conceptual understanding. Although they seem to be a bit high on the difficulty side but this is what will actually prepare one to handle any sort of question on the actual test. I have come across questions testing multiple concepts and was amazed to view the approach to solve these questions. I would highly recommend the gmat club tests to all those who are struggling to get their scores up in quant as these are probably the best resource that you could lay your hands on.

The GMAT Club tests are a must if you are aiming for a 700+ score. I took the CAT's few days ago and found them very useful. Explanations are precise and guided me in my thought process.
The QUANT part of the CAT have the best questions. I took the GMAT PREP exam(the 2 free tests) and scored 49 on one exam and a 50 on other. But GMAT CLUB Math problems are a bit tougher and it's not just the questions themselves, the explanations provided also help you uncover many shortcuts and help strengthen your core concepts. I found the CLUB questions a bit harder, but that should help you be better prepared for the final test.
Coming to the verbal part, the questions are well framed and are of good standard resembling the actual EXAM. My scores on the PREP EXAM was higher than the CLUB test. But this would help me learn better ways and manage time for a 700+ result

Seems a bit harder than OG as my verbal score was 10+ points lower than what I normally got. I do like how it breaks down the timing for each type of question - the analysis and organized structure really helps. I also like that the answers to tests are directly llinked to forums, though I think one helpful thing would be to just pin the most correct comment/explanation and hide everything else or it's a lot of noise/text to comb through. I think I also found a couple questions that had the incorrect forum discussion linked to the answer explanation. I also wish there were some AWA or integrated reasoning questions so I could simulate real test conditions.
There are plenty of questions to go through and seems like its almost all from OG practice questions (or at least I hope) with better analysis than what you get from the gmatprep software.
Even though my verbal score was disappointingly low here, it helped boost my verbal on the OG practice test by 70 points by a week so I'm pretty happy, though there is plenty more to do.
The review wont be too long.
Pros:-
1. Best in class questions, covering nearly all the topics
2. Amazing UI of the test. Very near to the actual GMAT test
3. Awesome explanations from Bunuel. and the following discussions help you to find the shortest and fastest method to approach the question.
4. Analytics after the test is one of its kind. I have not seen anything better than the GMATCLUB analytics. It drills down to topic specific question and help you find out the weak spots.
Cons:- Only one i would say
These tests are not made for people are scoring around 40 in quant. It is for people who are scoring 45+ and are looking to get 50-51 in quant.
So choose wisely.
Last but not the least. BB make these tests free for every one :) :)
I've taken about 3 tests and I think they're of very good quality. I've been taking Manhattan tests as well, but I think they are a bit tougher than the real question we get during GMAT. I am yet to compare it with GMAT Prep.
Apart from the question quality, they also provide a great performance analysis and links to forum discussions for each question. It becomes very handy to bookmark a question to revise it later and keep a error log here itself. They also allow me to analyze my performance of guessing an answer which I is great.
However, I think they can improve on explanations. For certain questions, most of which are in verbal, they've repeated the question itself. Although the 'link to forum' happens to provide the correct explanation most of the times, it is definitely an area of improvement!
The collection of question is just like GMAT prep with a good mix of difficulty levels.
Practice mode and Exam mode are there with a detailed overview of your performance, level of difficulty, topic and time taken for each question.
I particularly like the explanations and the discussions there itself under the questions, I strongly recommend these tests to everyone to get a realistic idea about prep level.
Quant is particularly an impressive mix , I regret not going through these before my first attempt. This time I aim to attempt the entire question set - as much possible.
Thanks GMAT Club!!
