The GMAT club tests are precisely what they claim to be... the hardest quant tests in the market. However they are very useful because each question has brilliant explanations from bunuel and the gmatclub community. The tests are best used in the 'middle phase' of prep when you've completed all the concepts but do not want to finish the official tests just yet. The analytics are detailed and should be used to make a customized study plan and eliminate weaknesses. Your score on these tests may not accurately indicate what you might score on the actual exam since they are much tougher. However the more important thing with the tests is reviewing and learning from your mistakes and learning the traps employed by the GMAT

Having taken all the 26 Quant tests of the GMAT Club tests, I can claim with great conviction that any serious test taker should take these tests and master his Quant skills. If there is any preparatory material that resembles the Quant section of the actual test after the two official GMAT Prep tests, it is the GMAT CLub tests.

I only used the Manhattan guides for the basics of Quants and took all the tests, thereafter. My understanding of the Quant section of the GMAT kept growing with each test that I took - time management, shortcuts, my own weaknesses. My scores in the tests would range from 45 to 51. However, I scored 49 in the section on the final day. I reckon this was due to exam anxiety. The questions have been chosen very adroitly and the answers to the questions are just what a student needs. Hats off to the people behind this !!

All said and done, there is a lot to be done with regard to the Verbal part. I stopped taking these tests after just 2 attempts. It was a sheer waste of time. It does not resemble the actual Verbal section and some answers are even debatable. Do improve on the quality of the Verbal part and increase the number of tests as well.

This will make the tests a one stop destination for mastering the GMAT exam!!

Pros:
- the tests are great at focusing in on certain topics. Creating a question bank for those specific areas really helps to reinforce concepts and techniques.
- the question explanations and forum link functionality are very helpful indeed – the explanations with discussions really improve efficiency.

Cons:
- having not appreciated how hard the questions are, the initial tests can be demoralising (although I appreciate that the tough questions are what draw people to the tests)
- it has been said before, but I don’t feel that the scores show an accurate estimate of real GMAT scoring, and can vary dramatically from test to test.

The GMAT Club tests are very different from the other tests that are available in the market. They test you on the basics of every concept, which in turn prepares you for all the possibilities that you can possibly face in the GMAT. The CATs are also very adaptive and give a true reflection of your understanding of the topics. A decent score in the GMAT Club CATs , a Q45-Q48, almost assures you of Q50-Q51 in the real exam. The analytics part of GMAT Club is unique to itself. It helps you analyse your shortcomings and tells you the areas of improvement. Hence, these tests are useful if you want to prepare from scratch or if you want to retake your exam and improve your score. All in all one of the best products available, especially for Quant.

After having tried Gmatclub tests for several months, I can say that they are pretty accurate in the Quant section, not so much in the Verbal one.

I often find that the Verbal questions are not quite similar to the ones included in the Official guide. This specially happens with the RC and CR questions. In terms of the Quant section, I think that most of the questions are similar to the official ones, and those that you would never find in a real gmat test, however, teach you important concepts that are useful for other questions; this was specially true in geometry questions.

Another relevant point: the size of the question bank. I think it could be expanded to some extent. For retakers like me, some of the most atypical questions sound too familiar when you use the GmatClub test a second time. This makes me think, although I did not make any analysis, that some questions may be too similar. I have the feeling that in the Official guide there is a wider spectrum of questions, despite the higher number of questions.

Something that would be great to have: stats for each questions of people that really took entire tests, it often happens that the accuracy or time spent rates are tremendolusly biased due to people that spent 30 mins on that question. It makes the stats section useless sometimes.

Lastly, I think the scores provided are accurate enough, more than MGMAT for instance.

I got a free access to the gmatclub CATs through the e-gmat verbal online. The tests are really good, with nice solutions and the level is very close to that of the real GMAT. It is not adaptive, but the question levels are given in the end. You can also filter questions by category, level and bookmark for later review. I would highly recommend these tests to anyone serious about scoring above 700.

In terms of improvement, gmatclub could make the tests adaptive. Also the number of quant tests I got were way more than verbal, so a balance would be good.

I scored a 770 after a couple months working through the GMAT Club tests. I did not do any of the verbal sets, so I cannot attest to their quality, but I found the quant sets to be very helpful. In fact, the GMAT Club test collection was the only resource I used beyond the Official Guide and GMAT Prep. The quant questions are very thorough and capture many of the nooks and crannies that might befall you on test day. Use these tests to ensure you have a good understanding of the fundamentals. Best of luck to you on your own GMAT journey.

The GMAT CLUB Tests are both extensive, covering all topics as well as exhaustive, ie, covering all difficulty levels. Also the questions do not touch upon any topic beyond the GMAT, so they are precise and helpful. The QUANT in particular sets you up for a challenge. If you master the quant questions in these tests, GMAT can pretty much be a cakewalk.

Though the no. of tests in VERBAL are lesser, they are good and spot on. With more no. of tests, more concepts can be tested and one can gain confidence in verbal as well.

Overall, a mixed bag for VERBAL but an absolute must for QUANT.

The Quant. Section of gmatclub test has a very impressive collection of mixed difficulty level questions with detailed solution. Though the difficulty level of questions is bit higher, I found few questions quite near to actual GMAT .Scoring is also close to actual GMAT. The tests are helpful to figure out the weak areas so that you can concentrate and improve those areas. These tests also help you build and develop confidence in the area you want to improve more on the GMAT. Once done with the basic concepts use these test to hone the concepts on the subject. The verbal exams are also good but could be improved further the scoring algorithm of verbal may not be that close to real time GMAT exam but are close enough understand the weakness so that you can work upon.
