What's good about these tests:
You'll get a detailed analysis of your tests. Thousands of good quality quant questions, with great detailed answers. Topic wise analysis will show you how you your weak areas. You'll learn a lot from all the professionally written high quality answers. Timed 25+ tests will help you build the strength necessary for exam. Difficulty of some of the question is as good as actual GMAT test. It will help you clarify your doubts and work on your weak areas.
What's bad about these tests:
Verbal tests are not well written at all. I scored disheartening v28, ridiculously less than gmat prep and many other tests. Simply DON'T use it for verbal preparation. No option to practise IR questions.
Really good exams, especially the quant part. Lots of different excercises with a great range. I liked the most difficult ones. The algorithm i believe it is pretty good because it does not present any distortion compared with other exams such as Veritas or Kaplan. What i dont really like were were the Verbal Exams. I am not saying they were not good, i am just saying that they were not as good as the quant exams. Reading comprehension was quiet good but sentence correction and critical reasoning were very much alike the official ones in several cases.
So far, i believe they were great exams. My critic to the VB
The GMAT club tests are a must to improve the Quant score. I have already appeared for GMAT twice (590, 640). Going through success stories I started noticing a pattern of everyone mentioning they had gone through the GMAT club quant tests. Now that I have tried them myself I would suggest everyone to try them out. Bunuel is simply the best and his explanations are sometimes better than that found in the books. I have already seen a 5 point improvement in my Quant score (42 to 47). And this is just after 5 quant tests from GMAT club. I have made it a habit to fully understand the explanations especially on the tricky questions taking as much time as needed. And as it is mentioned, I have hardly seen harder quant problems anywhere else.
I have tried a couple of Verbal tests but they are yet to achieve the same level as Quant tests. Nevertheless, they are better than a lot of other tests out there.
GmatClub tests are a great resource for exam preparation. Although they often are harder than what you see elsewhere, they make sure to expose you to concepts and methods that deepen understanding across topics. This applies more to the quant section though, as I think the verbal is often below level to other platforms.
The quant CATs give a realistic feel for the breadth of subjects, a range of solving methods and also a sense for timing. I found that the more I used the tests, the more I became aware of the common mistakes I was making. It helped me to identify weak areas quite quickly and zone in on improving them. As each question comes with a solution and often a link to the broader question discussion, there was always an opportunity to learn extra during the test review.
I appeared for Gmat on 5th Jan 2017 with 2 months of preparation. Even though I was expecting good quant score, I was able to get only Q48. Then, I realized that I need to practice a number of 700 level questions and that too at lightning speed. I started following Gmat Club Quant questions and found them very helping & hats off to Mr. Bunuel for his crystal clear explanations. I took some of Gmat Club tests and found Quant section to be very good with scoring algorithm tuned very closely to that of Official Gmat. Although most of the times number of 700 level questions in a single test is on slightly higher side as compared to official Gmat, Quality of questions on Gmat Club Tests is very very good as compared to questions available elsewhere. Verbal Section is not even close to the official Exam and needs too much improvement in both quality of questions and scoring algorithm. Quant section rocks ......... I will advise all Gmat aspirants to consider Gmat Club Quant tests, a true reflection of official Gmat Quant section.
Cheers ....... All the best to all the future Gmat takers .....!!
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
As of now, I've done GMATClub test twice.
Originally, I just would like to try on my current quant abilities and to see whether the Quant score would come out the same. So, each time wasn't that far apart and the results were so close at 43 and 44Q! So, I would say the test was done pretty well. I got 47Q previously on the real GMAT.
I would later recommend GMAT Club quant test to anyone. It's worth doing and then learning from the solutions, which were easy to follow.
I love that there is detailed percentage on each topics to be analysed.
Question analysis: I want to be able to see specific exam. (not by choosing Taken Last 7 days because during the week I've done 2 tests. (I think the site suggests to not do more than 1 though)
Test analysis: I think many people would suggest the one-page questions and answers which is easy to print out and study but also easy to be shared to others though.
I've done MHGMAT for Quant as well. It was quite difficult both questions and answers... so I would say GMAT Club test is better
Gmat club tests are one of the reliable tests available for GMAT preparation. There scoring algorithm is close to GMAT score and of all the mocks I have given, gmatclub mocks have the closest user interface to the actual gmatprep and the actual GMAT exam.
The explanation of the questions is very well and descriptive.
Gmat club has best in class questions for Quant but question pool for verbal needs to be improved. Quant tests are very useful to learn/approach advanced questions. Yet few more tests are required in verbal section.
Also complete full length tests from gmatclub would be of a gerat help for all gmat aspirants.
GMAT Club test is an interesting concept where you get access to sectional test (Quant/Verbal) as well as you can choose specific sub sections and difficulty level.
However, there is no option to select a full length test which will stimulate an actual GMAT test.
Additionally, the scoring algorithm is a bit different than the actual GMAT or a Manhattan test. It is heavily biased on a good start as well as string of questions you get wrong.
As an improvement area, I would definitely want an option of few full length tests which include AWA,IR, Quant and Verbal.
I have taken GMAT CLub test for a few times and have found that it is extremely useful for people struggling in Quants.I myself was able to improve my score to 45 in quants from a meagre 35.
GMAT club test have all questions with the detailed explanations and it is extremely good to practice for the real GMAT.The scores are in line with the real GMAT test.
Though a bit of more tests are required in English.Few more test in english with elaborative explanations will be quite helpful to students as more test will give a lot more practice.Hope that is taken care off.
In my GMAT Club Tests I used to score 49/50 regularly & 51 once. In the real exam I got 50 in Quant.
I think GMAT club ha the best in class 600 & 700 level questions
Sometimes questions are in the tougher side but thats the way to learn math !!!!! Practice tougher questions. I practiced almost 90% of all 600-700 questions.
For me personally Verbal section was a letdown. I felt the SC questions are not upto the mark. Some cases the SC questions conflict with the basic concept learned.
Hence I didn't continue Verbal tests.
Warning: I didn't practice much of Verbal from GMAT club. I may have done 10% over all.
