Gmat Club Quant tests are one of the closest to the real test experience. The scoring is almost same as the real test as well. These are one of the best source to practice quant along with the regular OG questions
Gmat Club Verbal tests are again pretty good, however not that accurate as the quant tests in term of being close to real test experience. Having said that they are again extremely good to practice and get ones rhythm going. Only thing i felt was that the explanations could have been a notch better in these tests.
Overall these tests of worth every penny you spend on them.
The GMAT Club tests are an important tool for your test prep. The quant tests will prepare you for more than you could ever see on the actual GMAT. They obviously have a different style than that of the official content, but still is valuable practice. Every question has a detailed solution along with a thread attached with discussions of the problem. This was significant for me to learn alternate methods to solve problems or think about problems from different aspects.
The only the approvement I could recommend would be to put more into the verbal content to bring it to the same level as the quant content.
I haven't gone through that many tests yet, because i was primarily concerned with mastering the concepts for both quant and verbal, but i can say that your test are quite good, but with some minor flaws. I have started going through verbal tests at first and to me they seemed a little bit inconsistent. Sentence correction questions are good as well as the explanations, but critical reasoning have some gaps in them. Some of them seem to be structered in a confusing way in comparison to OG questions. And the explanations don't provide much insight. Reading comprehension is ok. As for the quant questions, the problems are clear and structured well, but the explanations are sometimes very short and hard to undertsand.

Gmatclub tests were an amazing supplement to my study course to take shorter tests where I could really zoom in and analyze my mistakes. In longer tests initially you tend to make silly mistakes till you get used to the length so these tests really help you test your level and improve upon it. The quant section is also very strongly representative of the real gmat level - I would suggest to really take a few of the quant tests leading to the weeks before gmat rather than just focusing on gmatprep tests which some people tend to do because gmatprep is at a slightly lower level than the questions you get during the actual gmat where your level keeps increasing if you get questions right.
I have taken GMAT tests from Magoosh, Veritas, Manhattan prep, and GMAT club. Magoosh is amazing in terms of content and price. They have the best customer service too. Veritas prep has great exams and they really focus on questions which require critical thinking. Manhattan Prep is over hyped with Math questions a lot more difficult than the real test and the verbal questions can all be solved using Manhattan's strategy but not really applicable on the real test. Finally, the GMAT club has the best exams. Very close to the real test and it helps to see the exam in the same format as the real test too. Math questions are 700+ level and the written explanations are great too. Only wish there was video explanations for the questions as sometimes it is hard to follow the written explanations.
These tests are close to reality and the analysis is really in-depth. You can learn something by checking not only your results but also the times and the comparison to others. I really enjoy the feature that you can see the level of the questions; that gives you a feeling for the real test scenario. The questions are very versatile and add very well to the Official Guide for GMAT prep books. You can also choose between different modes. I can really recommend to take the chance and simulate the test with GMAT Club Tests in order to improve your score.
excellent resource, if you are aiming for anything above 47.
there are enough 600 and 700 level tough questions covering every topic that is important from test perspective.
the explanations are sometimes too brief, however if you drop a message on the forum, you will most likely get your doubts cleared. it is definitely worth the hype and worth buying. plus if you buy a premium subscription using earned 100 pts on gmatclub, you will get a 30% off on current prices.
verbal section isn't good, the questions aren't up to gmat level.
however it is still worth buying this product because the quant material stands out.
Hi,
I used the GMAT club quant tests extensively during my preparation and found them pretty useful. In my opinion, you do not need anything else. Just review each question thoroughly and you should be through. I am planning to retake GMAT and am banking on GMAT official questions and GMAT Club Quant tests to reach the Q50 mark. Bunuel's techniques are great... although many say the tests are difficult, that's precisely because the tests throw maximum 700 level questions unlike actual GMAT test. However, the level of difficulty of a GMATClub 700 questn and that in the actual test may not be very different.
Verbal tests: while I was not very satisfied as the answers to some of the questions among the answer choices were too obvious and unlike GMAT, I still feel they are good practice.
regards,

For my first GMAT experience I did not know about gmatclub tests, so I just read books and some random posts in the forum, now that I changed my startegy for my second chance in the GMAT, I read a lot of postings in the forum and follow recommendations about gmatclub tests I am very confident that they'll make the difference for my second chance!. If you want to test your foundations and move forward to the next level on math questions, gmatclub math problems are what you need! You'll find not only more than 1000 questions but also detailed explanations for each one. Furthermore, people share concerns that you're having too, and explanations that fits to your needs. Don't hestate to submit more questions, you'll always find someone who is able to share her experience.
There are many tests out there claiming to emulate the GMATPrep CAT environment. But that in my opinion is irrelevant.
To hit the Q50/51 mark, you need to practice at least 2000 questions - they need to test certain concepts. And most importantly, you need to familiarize yourself with those concepts by REPETITION.
This is where the GMAT Club tests are superior - by allowing the user to review mistakes (Mistake Analysis) and create quizzes out of questions you got wrong.
I was stuck on 49 for the longest time - the moment i started building quizzes out of the error log - by score boosted.
Further more, the quality of the questions are on par with GMATPrep - which I would recomment to anyone.
Hope this was helpful.
