The experience was smooth and the quality of questions was also similar to the level of original GMAT. I would recommend increasing the pool of questions so that there could be more Verbal sections tests, that there is a minimal repetition of questions. The quality of the questions in mathematics is spectacular and was helpful in bringing about the requisite improvement in me. If possible, try bringing in some full length mocks as well, along with section test. The full length mocks could be a combination of Section Tests as well. The overall experience of GMAT club tests has been spectacular, and I will not hesitate to recommend it to anyone as the first choice.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]
Though I have neither taken all the tests, attempted only 1 thus far, nor attempted GMAT after the test, I can say 1 thing for sure. Veritas' algorithm is closer to GMAT than gmatclub's. However, it does not mean that Veritas is better at predicting the actual score. 1 problem with Veritas, and Manhattan prep, is that it is very hard to score 700 in their tests, an issue I believe is not present in gmatclub's tests.
Quant: Quant section is tougher than GMAT's but easier than Manhattan Prep's; nevertheless, the score prediction by gmatclub may be correct. Best part with this section, as it is with the forum on the whole, is that you can find a few different solutions for the same problem.
Verbal: There are some questions in which OA and OE are not too convincing, something that is never the case with GMAT. Despite this, their questions were easier than Veritas' and tougher than GMAT's, Veritas rates difficult questions easier; thereby, contributing to the issue.
Summary: These tests can be considered if you do not intend to buy either Manhattan Prep's or Veritas' as they provide the best parts of both of them.
ISSUE (and I hope it gets fixed at the Earliest): While reviewing the test, we cannot see the answer we picked for an incorrect attempt. Again, Please fix this As Soon As Possible.
Gmatclub's quant tests are brutal. They are a must have if you want to achieve quant 49 and above in the acutal Gmat tests. Gmat club's quant test will train all your mental muscles to make you adept at dealing with every level of GMAT quant questions. Since, the offical guides have a handful of quant questions of 600 to 700 category, Gmatclub's tests came to the rescue for those looking for higher quality quant questions.
While the quant tests are worth every penny, verbal test was not up to the standard of GMAT. Quite a few of the answers seemed debatable and few questions were not very GMAT like.
A point of advice, quant tests of gmatclub is a must have.
I have taken two GMAT Club Tests and felt few things which could be improved upon basis my expertise and experience of GMAT questions
1. While taking and reviewing tests, many common test takers (including me) expect that the questions are followed with holistic expert answer covering all facets of the question and its ambiguity rather than the not-so-useful comments of the other test takers (few negative comments, i was surprised to see few people questioning the authenticity about a quant question (and trust me it was genuine). This is kind of weird and does not look good or motivate other
2. Quant questions are made or framed more towards concept exceptions and advanced logics. A common GMAT taker would expect the questions to be as similar as the official ones and also the order in which they are selected
3. Verbal Questions - I am 100% sure that quality of questions need to be improved. Their are certain questions which may not be 100% accurate.
4. Also while taking the test, their was a bug that if i have not selected any answer and pressed "Enter" key twice, then automatically the last choice (E) was selected and i was moved to the next question. Happened twice.
5. I would suggest that a better Graphic User Interface similar to the GMAT would definitely help in making candidates feel better and more close towards the actual test
6. A weekly Full CAT Test for the non-subscribed GMAT CLUB members where they can take one complete test free of cost and then subscribe for the further analysis or to take ten more. Rewards for the highest scorers and all, etc.
7. And at last i would like to thank all the founders, board of directors, experts, moderators and everyone else for making this forum lively and motivating.

GMATclub has excellent Quant questions which are a bit on a high level side and the test is a good score predictor of the actual score. The 700+ level questions will actually make you think through the problem and help you learn the concepts.
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.
These are a must take for a 750 + score.
Honestly these tests are on another level. They aren't written exactly like the GMAC tests, but they test the same skills. These tests go above and beyond though to include little things that may have not been considered. In truth, these tests will take your quant score to the next level. The biggest criticism I have would be the explanation of some of the harder questions. If you don't have a strong foundation, it will be difficult to understand the most difficult problems' explanation. I would recommend really delving into the forums and trying to establish a background for these specific questions. All in all gmat club is a great resource.
I was introduced to the GMAT Club Test recently. And I must say, I found them to be decently useful. The concepts checked are in line with those in the real test. The collection is wholesome and is useful to break score barriers. Atleast it helped me do that. The question pool is quite diversified. And as far as I remember correctly, the last few days were just spent on solving problems in the question bank. I found it worth the time for quant atleast. The error log list on taking these tests was pretty long, so had to spend some time fine-tuning concepts.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have been taking official GMAT exam several times.
Even though I haven't gotten the score that I want, I really enjoy use GMAT Club's practice exam to prepare exam.
I like math questions because those questions are not only challenge but also help me to build math foundation.
However, it seems that there are not too many verbal questions. It would be nice to see more questions in verbal session. I really like the idea to link more different explanations under each question. Those explanations help me fully understand some questions that I don't know how to solve them.
Thank you so much for providing such wonderful tests for someone like me.
I haven't purchased the tests but one of my friend did who scored 700 in gmat. He told me gmat club tests played a huge role in getting good score in Maths.

I found tests really amazing, they showed my weak areas such as Rate and work, geometry and data sufficiency.
