I availed gmat tests along with egmat verbal online course. I found gmat club tests very helpful and real-time tests. The questions as per the difficulty level chosen were perfect as J realised it after I encountered the type of questions in real GMAT test.
The solutions for the questions are self-explanatory and the reported scores in mock test of gmatclub were pretty close to my actual score in GMAT. So I would suggest that it is a a prefect resource and a mandatory one if you are preparing for GMAT. Though I started using it few weeks before my actual test date, it gave me a good practice and I was able to handle such questions well in actual test. Thank you GMAT club for these tests. It's an amazing resource.
I always used to visit GMAT Club for Bunnel's review on GMAT Quant questions. His way of solving questions is really good and easy to grasp. I opted for GMAT Club tests and found the Quant tests really challenging and these tests helped me to score good score on Quant in GMAT. I also liked the Verbal tests but there are lot of improvement in these tests in terms of question quality, answers quality etc. Nevertheless, one can really benefit from their test series, and I highly recommend the Quant test for everyone who is planning to score more than 49 in Quant.
These tests are probably the gold standard for simulated exam prep for Quant. The questions are varied, difficult and exactly like official GMAT questions - they try and trick you rather than being explicitly difficult. The questions aren't long winded or tough but tricky - exactly like the official GMAT. Plenty of questions, detailed explanations and the ability to curate quizzes - anyone who wants a high quant score should definitely take these. They are worth it just for Quant alone.
Verbal admittedly could be better. But then, I rarely find test prep companies that can create questions similar to the official test makers. This is an area, I believe, in which most prep companies struggle. Nevertheless, the verbal tests are still good practice.
Two thumbs up for the GMAT Club Tests.
I have being using GMAT Club Tests for quite some time and would rather says that they are indeed good.
The level of question are good, there is a large variety of question pool from which one can practice according to his/her level.....The test analysis is pretty great, the feature of downloading the report to keep as a reference is great....The best part which I liked was the statistics through which one can compare as to how many people have attempted the question correct and in how much time.
The Club test is pretty good way to practice though the only feature that can make way and is still lagging ...is the customize timer so that at the beginning phase one can race against the timer at their own pace.
Using the GMAT Club practice tests are a great way to get an experience that is very close to the real test at a testing centre. The test interface bears a resemblance to the actual GMAT test, and there are challenging questions presented that can truly predict your skill level. I think the best part is having the after-test analysis - the timing breakdown helps you improve on your timing strategies, and the explanations for each answer are well-written and in depth. I enjoy the thought and the time put into the design of the GMAT Club tests so they are user-friendly and it makes studying and practicing for the GMAT much more enjoyable. In addition, there is a direct lint to the forums where other members have provided their insights on how they solve certain questions. Having the input and problem solving strategies of others who are also preparing for the GMAT really provides me with additional motivation to improve my own studying and practice habits. I find that the most challenging questions that I have faced are also difficult for others, and being able to read through the contributions of real members who are in a similar situation as myself is something that other testing platforms cannot compete with at this time. I also really like that GMAT Club offers free access to the tests during the holidays, and provides members with opportunities to try out the study tool with promotions too.
It was unfortunate timing for my subscription because of family issues, so it would be nice to be able to suspend the subscription for a period of time - and restart it back when you are able to concentrate and focus better on the studying!
I used to be good at Math during the time in high school. However, I struggled a lot when it came to the Quant Section in the GMAT. I was easily trapped by many questions as I didn't realize the nature of Quant section. Thanks to many high-quality questions as well as the excellent and comprehensive explanations for every single question in GMATClub Test, I have learned a lot of useful tips, which really helped me to ace the Quant section with a satisfactory 51 points.
Therefore, I always recommend these tests to anyone who wants to achieve a high Quant score. It's really worth to try these tests.
GMAT Club tests are perfect to test you score in Quantitative. I scored 51 (though cancelled score) in real GMAT. I have not used any other material for quant.
More than 1000 questions in Quant section in tests are enough to practice from single source. each question is at par with real GMAT.
Some of verbal questions are not explained detail, but one get solutions from GC forum.
GC tests are best priced and one can purchase based on time period.
I am still preparing and GMAT club test material is among top most material to achieve my dream of getting 770 plus score in GMAT

Guys my Quant drastically improved practicing GMAT club test. GMATclub tests are the best invest you can make. They are seriously best for Quant.
Here is my review
Gmatclub tests are way above the level of GMAC questions, but trust me those questions are crafted in such a way that you can easily score 700+.
Specifically there Quant, they can assure you Q49+ provided you practice them diligently.
Even though there verbal questions are exactly the official guide formats.
They have a total of 1200+ Quant questions and 550+ verbal questions. Solve them after your foundation is at its best and you are scoring more than 35+ in both the sections. The reason being those questions are not meant for faint heart.
A kudos is always well appreciated. It act as a motivation for my posts.
Thank you
Pros:
1. Best quality 700+ level questions. These questions give you a hint of where exactly GMAT plays a ploy on you. Once you do enough of these, you kind of get the possible ploys that could be played on you for most types of questions.
2. Only high quality questions from the forum are picked up for the tests. Link to forum discussion and Bunuel's solution to each question makes you wonder how can such a seemingly tough problem be so simple!
3. Prepares you for a tougher game than real GMAT, making real GMAT quant much smoother than you expected.
Cons:
1. Do not trust the scoring if you are not at Q48+ level. You get a few 500 level questions wrong and the system will classify you as a Q35. Just focus on what you got wrong and mark it in the error log. That brings me to the next point.
2. Question bank is heavily biased towards 700 level questions. This is good in a way, since it is aimed at those who're looking to score a Q51, but screws up scoring. I get two consecutive 500 level questions wrong and I'll be greeted with a 700 level question next.
3. Quality of questions for verbal needs to improve significantly. The difficulty level is judged by the time stats and for many of these questions, the reason the time stats look so odd is because the question is of poor quality with not so justifiable OA. Many of these questions are still being debated in the forum.
While I wouldn't recommend this for verbal, for quant this is the only material where I could find for tough, high quality questions.
On quant again, don't give too much of a darn about the scoring, but focus on the error log from these practice questions and over time with a GMAT prep mock, you will see that you've become better.
Hi, have been using the GMATClub tests since quite some time- overall, my experience has been very good. Quants is excellent- 25 mock tests are way more than sufficient. Majority of the questions also have good explanations, however few of them are very short- I suggest the explanations be a bit more details for all questions, also provide alternative ways to the solution for all questions (MGMAT scores there). But overall- GMATClub quant tests are must do! Now coming to verbal- same feedback with respect to improvement i.e overall explanations are good, but few lack the detail- but having said that, the bigger problem is much fewer tests- only 8 tests! That’s really less- especially for very weak verbal candidates like myself- actually I would not mind having lower quant tests (something like 15 to 20 would do), and equal number of verbal tests (15 upwards please). Also please have an IR paper (not much- just 5 of it having real exam feel). Although I know there are no AWA currently available in test format- I must admit I did not miss it since various forums of GMAT do a good job at handling that . However having said that I did not have the same feeling for IR. Coming to the interface and analytics- I am blown to tell you the truth- wish I could do more analysis than what I did. The amount of analysis that can be done on one’s past exams based on your interface is very exhaustive- unfortunately, I used less than 1 pct of its capability. ATB guys…
