GMAT club offers a 26 Quant CAT & 9 Verbal CAT offer if you have 60+ points you can redeem it. I prepared the verbal basics & quant basics with a old GMAT books from 2015. Then I started using GMAT Club questions. I was unable to practice different topics on the same day. GMAT club test helped to fulfill that GAP. I would recommend any beginner GMAT club test is best place to start your practice after completing basics. I would buy it again since I have not purchased any course separately. The offering from 60pts is 2 week test it would be great if I get it for a month atleast.
The GC tests are a great practice for Quant section. If you can score Q47-51 in GC quant test, you are going to score very highly in real GMAT. I believe these are one of the toughest Quant tests out there and acing these sets you high for the real thing.
The verbal tests on the other hand are above average but not excellent. The quality of questions might be sometimes debatable. But again, very good for solo practice. However, I would prefer official questions for verbal. But if your material is over, well then maybe they can be a good try.
I recommend Gmat club tests.
I have been practicing with the Gmat Club tests for the past 3 months and this is what I have found about them.
1. Easy to Use,user friendly
2. Easy to review Performance & Weak areas.
3.The Explanations & the quality of Questions is good.
4.The diversity of questions & adaptive nature of CAT have been well structured.
5.The only issue I found was the low no. of the Verbal section tests, they could be more in no.
6. The GMAT Club Forum adds up as a Great Support system for the tests, for discussions with others & for adding tips to your arsenal.
7. I found my marks to be reflective of my preparation & they helped me improve my performance steadily.
Overall a great experience. Rating it 4 out of 5. Would definitely recommend it to others.
the GMAT club tests are great to study and plan for the GMAT. the quant is especially good and the solutions provided are extremely helpful. Bunuel uses some of the best methods to get the answer and this is the best part.
I tried most of the questions in the quiz mode focusing on specific topics. It can most useful since the questions are harder that what you see on gmat and taking test can give you lower scores. So during learning, taking quizzes was best for me.
the verbal is not that great and can be avoided. It might not be the most useful thing.
Generally I would suggest these tests to those who have mastered all the basics and exhausted all the official questions, those people who have reached 700 hundred level.
I would suggest taking GMAT Club tests way before your exam. As it will help identify your weaknesses in tough questions, you will have enough time to work on them.
Verbal: Very hard and may be discouraging, but will give a good indication of how you will perform towards the end of your actual exam.
Quant: Unnecessarily hard; some questions take more then 3 minutes, even those at the beginning of the test.
These were my experience, not necessarily have to be yours too.
The questions are generally above average difficulty though some easier ones have been introduced as well. The questions are comparable on the difficulty level with respect to the GMAT prep questions and are challenging. THe time limit is alo tight for the level of difficulty offered, almost simulating a GMAT like experience. The best part is that while attempting these tests, you can find out areas in which you need better preparation and thus helping you to gain insights into your weaker areas. Must for someone preparing for 49+ Q score and all the best for your GMAT preparations .
GMAT assassins are not born they are made ... lol
GmatClub tests can be defined simply by these three words. For Verbal they are just plain good. I found the questions to be testing the same concepts as the real thing but just the spread to be different. On the actual thing there's hardly a completely idiom question,Unlike GMATClub tests. Quiz access is amazing to warm yourself. They keep making you better and better and Quant is just plain Best. The difficulty of the question is obviously high but what has to be learnt from the solution of each quant question is that there's always a way to solve it better. If one solves all GMATClub tests and look at every solution. See the approach each question used versus the approach a particular test-taker used. It can be really beneficial on saving a bunch of time

I really like it, mainly the quantitative part. Verbal (as even GMAT Ninja says) is really hard to make something close to what GMAC does: each questions costs about $3000
(https://gmatclub.com/forum/that-official-gmat-question-might-cost-286098.html). GMAT Club, while it is incredible great, could not afford such a cost.
Conclusion: if you are low in quant it is an excellent choice. If your problem is pacing (timing), it might help you also! Do not use no officials to see how are you improving, as they might mislead you
I recently bought the GMAT Club Tests and that helped me so much in understanding the nuances of Quants questions on the actual exam!
There are enough number of tests and with each test you get a score. These scores are relatively indicative of your actual strength, especially in Quants. These mock tests are a good substitute to a full -ength GMAT Mock as you get a cumulative score towards the end (out of 800).
Not just that, each question has detailed explanations given by moderators and experts. This helps the user understand his mistakes and recognize the patterns to improve upon them. About 2-3 GMAT Club tests per week keeps the user in shape and updated with all the concepts of both Verbal and Quants.

I found the questions to the Quant to be a bit harder.
The questions are very challenging and tricky and they tackle all the small concepts that are always overlooked in theoretical studying. The question bank is huge.
One huge plus is the community help through the forum discussions.
If questions explanations are studied and understood well, will help you tackle the Quant section very easily.
The algorithm is not always consistent. In verbal, one of the tests got me very few 700 questions although I was doing very good with the easier questions and hence was not able to score well.
Thanks for the review plaverbach! 😎
