From the interface to the type of questions to the scoring algorithm, I believe GMAT Club Test are very close to actual GMAT test. In fact they come very close to the GMAT Prep tests, and the best part is here you get succinct solution for each question - a feature not available in GMAT Prep tests.
Overall a must for those who are aiming for 49 or more in Quant.
Only issue that I could mention is that GMAT Club Quant tests have limited no. of Geometry questions whereas I was faced with some never-seen-before challenging geometry questions on my actual test.
Verbal Tests are also good but could be more aligned to the actual GMAT questions esp. Critical Reasoning questions.

Background: I have had consistent Q49 in all the other mock tests that I took. I was not able to break that roadblock.

Post GMAT Club Tests: I took GMAT Club quant tests and now I am able to break into Q50/Q51

What changed? : You just need to hit the right set of questions and GMAT Club tests ensures that. GMAT club tests offer extensive collection of great Quant questions (700+). The initial few tests I was able to get into Q49 but I made sure I go through the details of solutions provided by bunuel, and boy, there were many hidden shortcuts I never knew. After the 4th test I was able to see patterns and was able to come with a strategy for my weak sections.

Portal: The entire portal is very user friendly, especially the Quizzes part as you can easily choose to attack your weak sections. This will help a lot to those who want to achieve Q50/Q51 as they have some great bunch of Probability/P&C/Inequality questions.

Verbal Section? : Would recommend to do with the tests directly as the question bank is not as extensive as Quant's. (You loose out on great tests if you exhaust questions in Quizzes)

To sum it up, go for Quant Practice and Verbal Tests. Give at least 5 individual tests to see improvement.

I have been using GmatClub Tests for the past one/two weeks. So far, it has been an excellent resource for my preparation. With, over 25 Quants and 9 Verbal Tests, we have an exhaustive list of test material. I am able to see a lot of tough Quants questions in GmatClub Tests compared to those of Official GMATPrep Software. The performance analysis, offered by GmatClub is of great help. I am able to identify what my strengths and weaknesses are, where i am losing a lot of time and where I have to concentrate to improve my score.
Kudos to bb, Bunuel and the GmatClub Team:)

I have given 14 Quant test yet and till this point of my journey in GMATCLUB I have found that every test is in itself a challenge.
The test is so designed that one gets to clear the basic of Quant and also one will be able to master the concepts at the same time. I have gone through the explanation by Bunuel and they are simply awesome.
In case someone is not clear of the explanation, they can simply go through the expert comments which either explain the provided solution in detail or offer a different solution which increases the scope of your understanding.

The only issue I find in the tests is that the concentration of the questions are more on a similar topic in one particular test(I have given 14 quant test yet- 12 more to go). For example only 2 questions I have seen yet which comes as the angle between clock problem, and only one question yet which is based on the odd days in a leap year or normal year. If the test questions are distributed evenly then it would help aspirants to cover each topic just by giving the tests.

I will definitely recommend the Quant practise questions from GMATCLUB as I am solely dependent on this as the one and only source.

The Quant Tests are very helpful! I find the questions are very well designed to touch upon the fundamentals that are essential for a high score on GMAT. The subject ranges tested are also pretty wide ranged. More importantly, the questions are very tricky; so they help get you very attentive and cautious. The biggest advantage of solving the question sets is that you will be able to minimize silly mistakes by leaps and bounds. These silly mistakes cost a big chunk of the overall score. The other half of this amazing story is the excellent pool of explanations for each question. Some of the explanations are very elaborate and also, go beyond the concepts necessary for the question in hand and rather discuss at length covering similar concepts. These question sets are like a learning platform in gradual stages. An amazing tool for quant skills development.
Verbal tests are quite good too. But, I found the passages do not reflect the pattern of the actual GMAT. There are only 3 passages instead of 4. And, too many SC questions were left for the end of test.
Overall, these are very good tools for sharpening your skills. But, you must have a mastery of the all available OG questions to be able to understand well the tricks and trades of GMAT. Best of luck!

Hi Team,

Let me get straight to the point. I will review the tests based on sectional.
1)Quantitative:

I am pleased with the quality of the questions( especially 700 level) . You get a 47 above in these tests and it is sure of Q51 in the main exam. Having given the test twice(scored Q50 both times), I am quite sure how the questions would be in the actual exam. 700 level questionsof GMAT club tests are close in logic to the actual 700 level questions you can get in the main exam.
However, the lack of adaptiveness of the tests is bit disappointing. As we know, GMAT is a mental game. Simulating the exam conditions by adopting a adaptive algorithm is crucial I believe. It doesnt make sense to get a 600 level question in the last 5 minutes when you are doing really well.

2.Verbal:

Again the quality of questions is very good. But the number of questions is too low(compared with quant). A person like me who is weak at verbal( which is most of the cases) is not that benefited from GMAT club verbal tests. I would suggest developing more verbal questions so that everyone gets benefited.Put yourself in my shoes!! what will you think when you see 25 quantitative tests and ONLY 8 verbal tests side by side.Again the adaptive algorithm is missing.

Best thing about the tests is that it's User Interface is same as that of GMAT. It gives a feel of accustomed to the test .
I am currently seeking a 2 week extend to my subscription as I am giving the GMAT again on oct8th,2016.

P.S:
I criticise only when I feel the other party deserves an imrovement i.e they are currently doing good and be dominant with further improvement.
Excuse me in case i sound too harsh.

But since Jan,2015 I am a big fan of GMATclub and love to be always.

Thanks,
Vijay Suman Nunna.

The Quants Tests are very accurate , however the Verbal tests have questions whose solutions are somewhat debatable (even in forums) especially the sentence correction questions. The verbal tests have a scope for improvement and the score is not so accurate. On the other hand Would definitely recommend the practice test to gauge your level in Quants. In practice tests I was getting 49 in quants and got a 48 on the real GMAT. The solutions by Bunuel are brilliant and they test your basic understanding of the topics. You can always take away something from each question and the takeaways definitely helps on questions of higher difficulty.

It is good to solve questions of high quality. It opens up opportunities to learn a lot more than one could have imagined. Tricky quant problems that tickle one's brain is what I was looking for. GMAT Club Tests sure does have quite a lot of such problems.

CATs doesn't really seem to be "the CAT". I know GMAT club has its own algorithm, may be it helps if someone wants to take a traditional CAT with such questions.

When reviewing the tests I felt that it would be nice to show the percentage of people answered for each answer choice. Currently, it only shows the percentage correct and incorrect.

Overall very happy to have taken these tests.

I was over confident that i can crack GMAT quantcs. But Gmat club tests proved me wrong. It has exposed me to real tough and tricky questions. The best part is the discussion of the each and every questions with the link to the forum. Apart from tricky questions, the test throws simple questions which are essential to build the fundamentals. This has helped me to identify the possible areas of committing silly mistakes. On repeated practice, my silly mistakes have become negligible in number.

In one word, gmatclub test is one forum to strengthen quants skills. The plat-form can be made more user-friendly, if the analytics can give a consolidated report on weak and strong areas.

These tests are a gold mine, especially when it comes to quant. The questions are difficult and prep you up for the worst. The tests will help you to improve speed and conceptual knowledge.

I would urge anyone using these to not get bogged down by the scores as these tests are diffucult.Just focus on the content and try and do the one that you get wrong. This will help you to ace the quant section. Those who are targeting a Q50 or a Q51 these tests are ideal. i would suggest that anyone hitting a q47 and above on the official tests must try these tests
