I have taken several Gmat club's CATs, mainly Quant.
I found the questions a bit hard, but not as hard as I imagined when I was viewing the reviews of other members.
Anyway, what I liked the most about gmat club's CATs was the scoring algorithm, which in my opinion is close to the real test's one.
Questions from all levels.Thats the key. In the real GMAT test even if you are solving correct the majority of the questions you will not only get 700+ lvl questions but also 500,600 etc.
The explanations were quite good, and I think these tests are nice for those who want to reach the upper 40s or even 50s in quant.
As for the verbal section, it was quite good too.
Nice,challenging questions in all sections.
Definitely worth it to buy some CATSs over here even for a month. I would definitely recommend them.
I have been planning to appear for Gmat since long.I came across Gmat club through a friend of mine. Intially after spending lot of time in identifying the correct resources ,i filtered down to Gmat club test as a ideal tool for my preparation.Apart from the official guides Gmat club tests have ample questions with graded difficulty levels.I use it extensively for my quantitative part preparation mostly.The analytics help you identify you strengths and weaknesses.
the solutions are well explained and help you strengthen your concepts.
planning to write in a couple of months.Wish me luck !!!
Hii All,
Finally took the test.Didnt fare that well,but would still like to share the whole experience and the do's and dont's that i feel should have been followed by me.
The test center of chennai was far from where i live and it took me more than 2 hours to reach.My test was scheduled at 1 but i reached by 12 and got to start my test by 12:30 PM.
The whole process of verification of identity and biometrics was smooth and the test center was good if not great.
Since my timing was clashing with my lunch timing ,I had to carried a bottle of hydrating drinks and some chocolate bars for the breaks.
The AWA and IR went well and then i moved to the quants section after a short break.The section started well and the initial questions were pretty straignt forward.The section went well with some tricky questions appearing around Q10.Since i hadnt taken too many mock due to my extensive travelling job,I was rushing throug the section in the first half hour.This allowed me to relax a bit in the middle section but this is where i think i screwed up.I overestimated my capabilities and was in a fix towards the end of the section.I had to rush through last 4 -5 questions which i feel i got wrong and resulted in a below par score of Q45.
My take aways :How much well prepared you are or good at any topic ,taking timed test is the key for the exam day.Appearing mocks is the most important thing.Little upset but i think i can manage this animal next time.Tightening my belt and getting ready for one more shot in a short while.only worry is i am little late for 2017 cycle.
All the best to everyone else planning to write GMAT in near future.Please take aa many times test as possible.
thanks
I am studying these tests since the Black friday recently have purchased an extension.The difficulty level of questions in Algebra,Number system is beyond GMAT level.Due to the practice over a duration of one week My MGMAT CAT score have seen a 4 point rise in QA.I am really satisfied with 700 level questions in the set.have my GMAT in two weeks and I am pretty sure these tests will come a long way in improving my scores.Thank you GMATClub!!I hope other aspirants of GMAT will find these tests helpful and I highly recommend the question banks to revise the quant section before the actual test
After my first attempt at GMAT bombed, I realized that I need more practice in quant and better conceptual understanding in verbal.
When I enquired about all the practice test available in the market (other than GMAC tests) all the other tests are not really relevant. I got very strong suggestions to use gmatclub tests.
So far, after taking around 8-10 tests, I have seen significant improvement in my speed and accuracy. Hopefully, I will be able to do my next attempt much better.
I will just pass on advice received from a senior "Do a lot of practice for quant and gmatclub tests are the most realistic tests available and also there are a lot of tests to do sufficient practice"
I love the quant test. It includes a lot of excellent questions that are suitable for variety of levels. The CAT system is like the real test, so I really comment Gmat club test for those who want to improve their skills. About the verbal, Sentence correction question are fine because they help me to remember many idioms and grammar priciples. Otherwise, I not really sure about the CR question, their logic seem different with GMat official questions. Reading comprehensive question seem easy at the. first glace but they are as tricky as real question. To sum up, taking Gmat club test is the good choice for retakers like me ^^
GMAT club tests are really good practice, specially the quant section is on the spot. I think to actually improve on a particular section, it need practice with GMAT like questions. And not just any GMAT like questions, these need to be something which challenges you to improve and gives extra bit of exercise to your mind. Questions in quant section really make you think and the explanation you need for clarification are always there from Bunuel or some other expert. Apart from usual test format, the test also lets you practice questions in study mode, which I think is really crucial as going back to wrong questions and learning from them is an important step towards improvement.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
The GMAT club test questions are quite similar to official GMAT questions. The test is highly adaptive too. The analytics is the best part ,the solutions and review of tests gives good clarity of where we lack, what extra efforts need to be put in. It helps to identify patterns, weaknesses. The more tests you take and analyze, the better score you get. It helps you build up your skill by honing fundamental skills used to answer each question. The test solutions also offer lot of shortcuts to use while answering a question. It is truly recommended for all GMAT test takers before appearing for the final GMAT exam.
I have been studying for the GMAT for a very long time, but only started taking it really seriously this past month. As my test date is coming up soon and I still didn't see any serious improvement on my quant I found I had to take action and came across the GMAT Club tests with some wonderful short-cuts. This is exactly what I was searching for, since I was always running out of time on my practice tests. I managed to increase my quant score from 43 to 46 on average, just by taking 4 GMAT Club quant tests! I expect to score around the 50s by the time I'm done with all of them!
The GMAT club tests have been able to introduce the exact way the GMAT test is carried out. The question quality is high and most importantly relevant. The best part is you can check the level of the questions- this is very important since you get to know where you need to put your efforts and improve. Another good feature is, in every explanation there is a link to the forum for discussion on the question. Many a times I did not agree with the answer (and have gotten angry) and the explanation provided did not convince me. On checking out the links you can view the whole thread that has gone deep and cleared the confusion. So overall the GMAT tests are something you should definitely work on and they do help you understand your loopholes.
This is my second review for GMAT Club tests. Before I started attempting these tests, I had scored 49 twice in actual test and was hoping to get 50 in my next attempt. I took Quant tests and scored 50 in 2 of them and around 44 in rest but again got 49 in actual next GMAT attempt.
I am planning to take another attempt and for that I hope taking more of these Quant tests will help me to reach at least 50.
Again Verbal tests are nowhere in quality when compared with Quant tests. It would be really really helpful if quality of Verbal tests could also be improved.
I would advice all of you to refer to the analysis under "My performance" tab as it will help you to find your weak points and thus will help you to improve further.
Thanks.
