Although the tests came bundled along with another course I had purchased through GMAT Club, deciding to incorporate the GMAT Club Tests in my study plan turned out to be one of the best decisions I made during by GMAT prep journey.
The tests have a large bank of varied and challenging quant questions that equip you to handle the hardest questions on test day. It also allows you to create custom quizzes based on the subsections that may require more of your attention.
Even though the the verbal section may be a bit lacking in terms of the number of questions when compared to quants, the quality of the questions is second to none.
The variety and number of questions are just two of the many reasons to incorporate the tests in your study plan. The in-depth analysis is what sold it to me. The more questions I answered, the better data I received. The insights are unique to the GMAT Club Tests and are super helpful in pin pointing faults among the plethora of things that can go wrong. In my case, the tests were even able to predict my score on test day down to the sub-sections based on my past performance.
I want to strongly recommend Gmat Club tests to improve your quant to Q51. The tests are designed in such a way that most of the questions are a little hard from the actual official questions, but with the right trick and solution all the questions can be solved within 2 minutes.
The tests are relevant for the beginners as well as the experts. The solutions suggested by the Gmat Club experts create a path to adopt new methods against the old methods, which take more time, in solving problems.
The test also covers a variety of concepts that are only relevant to Gmat. Kudos to the Gmat Club team.
Please make note of the below points before the review of GMAT Club tests -:
1) This test is applicable to anyone targeting Q48 or above
2) Make sure to make an error log for these questions as some of the questions are out of the world
3) Having scored Q49 and Q50 twice on the actual GMAT, I must admit these tests certainly helped me push the score.
4) All these tests have amazing DS questions, laying traps more often than not.
5) These are well within the purview of GMAT syllabus and do not focus on extra calculations.
In conclusion, a must for anyone who wants to improve the Quant score.
I got the GMAT Club tests as part of the Premium MBA Bundle.
This bundle provided great value - including test access, mock tests, discounts on mba.com mocks and more.
The GMAT Club quant is definitely harder than the mba.com mocks and the official GMAT, but it trains your brain to make quick "executive" decisions instead of solving stuff the hard way. Some of the questions did feel like they were too hard, and sometimes the scoring algorithm seemed to give me a score too high - but I would recommend using the scores as a measure of progress rather than a predictor of actual test scores.
Absolutely recommended for anyone whose target is Q50/Q51.
I took exam in short period of 2 month with full time job. Though quant my score does not reveal the greatness of GC Test, I will strongly recommend it. I did not use all the test because i ran out of time but my score is surely because of GC test only. I am planning to reattempt the exam again and I will practice GC test. GC Test have really good set of difficult questions which is very helpful to be confident and ready for the actual exam. Also timed CAT helped me to get a grip on time management. Strongly recommended
Your search for the best, most accurate and the hardest Quant tests, ends here. If you’re amazing for a Q49+, then you need to go for the mocks. Not only are these close to the actual exam in terms of difficulty, but the scoring algorithm is also pretty accurate. I was consistently scoring q47 in thr mocks and I ended getting thr same in my actual exam. I am bummed though that they have only 25 test, but make the most of these, if you want to shine in quant. The best part is the explanations for every question and the discussions around it. You will definitely find your query answered already in the discussions, which would save so much time. Absolutely recommend.
I have given the GMATClub tests on various holidays and during a week of free trial upon subscribing to GMATClub's Youtube Channel.
The tests are pretty good and are in a similar format when compared with the official exam, the tests are customisable which is a major pro as it allows you to attack the weaknesses and customise it according to one's different needs and expectations.
The post test diagnosis allows for best in class analysis and understanding for a test taker. It allows the test taker to understand where he/she got wrong, what should be the approach to the problem and how he/she can improve on the same.
The test scores are also a good indicator of overall preparedness but the verbal tests are a little off.
I took the GMAT CLUB TESTS when I exhausted all the resources I was referring to. No kidding, the variety of questions is amazing!
You will get to know where you stand, your weak points and your strong points as well. THERE IS A SEPARATE COLUMN OF MUST BE TRUE QUESTIONS AS WELL!!! I haven't seen that anywhere else.
The trick in the questions will keep you on your toes. Even the most basic questions will urge you to bite your nails off!!
If you are planning to break that plateau of 700, I will definitely advice you to go for these tests. Not only you will get used to hard questions but also get accustomed to the time management, which is very crucial for a gmat test taker.
I received access to the test for 25 kudos and solved them constantly during the last 3 months. The good thing about the GMAT Club test is that there are over 30 (quant +verbal) tests available.
Quant section is harder than most of the OG question and much trickier; however, its seems question bank for each test is limited and once you solved most of the hard question it will start showing 500 level question. This seems unrealistic to me since I guess in real GMAT test will maintain giving hard questions if you solve hard questions correctly. Besides, once you solve enough questions you will get familiar with what the GMATCLUB tests, the patterns sometimes repeat making it easier to solve.
The verbal section is poorly constructed and not representative of the real GMAT. Test makers often make unwarranted assumptions and test some obscure stuff.
This was my brief review of the test. Overall it is worth try you have enough prep time and run out of questions!

Verified GMAT Classic score:
770 Q50 V46 (Online)
The verbal test has some good questions, but overall the test is not adaptive. I got 9 CR, 11 SC and 16 RC questions - not balanced compared to GMATPrep mocks.
I have made only 2 mistakes within the first 24 questions, but the algorithm gave eight 500-level questions.
I have seen an enhanced score report of an exam with V42; the guy who took the test made 8 mistakes. I also made 8 mistakes in GC verbal test-36 and received 35.
During the test, RC passages seemed very easy. And yes, I was not given any 700-level passage, despite my good performance.
I think, improvements can be made regarding the adaptiveness of the test.
