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.
Anyone looking to enhance scores in Quant must try Gmat Club Tests. I reached Q50-51 from 43-44 and scored Q50 in actual GMAT .
Verbal Sectional tests are also really very helpful to enhance scores.
The questions types of Gmat Club tests are exactly similar to those of official ones and thus are really helpful to boost the score . RC , CR questions are very helpful for Verbal. One can attempt sectional tests well as topic wise quiz.Really helpful to make concepts strong . One must try to attempt as many Gmat Club tests as possible to enhance score .All the best.
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.

I have been using the GMAT Club tests and find the quantitative questions excellent and great practice. The explanations are also excellent and they seem to relate to actual GMAT tests quite well.
However, the verbal questions often seem slightly incorrect. Furthermore, in the explanations it is sometimes "agreed" by some people that the question or answer has an error, however it does not seem to be corrected.
Based on this, I highly recommend the GMAT Club tests for their quantitative questions but I use other material for the verbal part.
I am taking the GMAT next week, so I will soon be able to see how the test scores match to the real score.
I highly recommend the gmat club tests to anyone who plans to take the GMAT. It will definitely help strengthen your quant skills . At first the quality and level of questions may scare you a bit but if you continue practicing and analysing your mistakes you will surely be rewarded. Earlier I used to score around 35 but now it is between 37-39 . I love the challenging questions and it definitely has helped me build my confidence level. The only thing to be kept in mind is one has to keep practicing even if the initial scores are not so good. You need to stay motivated and carry on. Eventually when you take a mock , the results will show you the benefit of Gmat Club tests . Happy studying !!
The GMATclub tests are one of the best materials you will find for quants. I didn’t take it as tests. I used gmatclub test questions as quizzes to improve my skill level. Here is my take. Basically, the 500-level questions are straight forward ones. Mostly, you can just apply the formula and solve or little to do to crack the questions. The real practice starts from the 600-level and 700-level questions. The 600-level questions are a great pool of questions to practice through which you can learn tricks here and there to apply. But, the best part of tricky stuffs comes from the 700-level questions. These are simply God level quality questions. I got 95%+ accuracy in 500-level and 80%-85+% accuracy in 600-level questions. But, I was killed by 700-level questions. My accuracy got down to 50+% in those questions. But, I can confirm that each question at this level teaches some sort of new tricks and traps. The more the exposure, the better you are equipped for D-Day. Overall, a great source for practice and right now, I am ranging Q49 in GMATPrep. I have worked on 500+ questions on varying difficulty level and I am planning to do more to push myself to Q50+. I didn’t work verbal questions. Thanks!

This is my second review for the tests. I am writing this review after attempting all of the Quantitative and Verbal tests. The tests contains questions which are very close to the actual GMAT level questions in terms of difficulty level. The tests contains comprehensive explanations of each question and very good analytics as well. One must attempt GMAT club tests before writing the actual GMAT. I want to write the GMAT again to improve my previous score of 710. I seriously suggest that these GMAT club tests are very helpful to feel a real GMAT like experience. For the people aiming above 700, these tests will turn out to be very helpful.
