Thank you Gmatclub for providing access to GmatClub tests. These tests have handpicked questions across different difficulty levels.
It enables GMAT aspirants to practice such questions and understand their weak areas. Every question has a way to solve and if it is followed properly, then you can solve the question in the most optimal way in the least possible time.
GMAT is an exam which tests your reasoning skills and you cannot conquer it unless you think logically. These tests are designed to divide candidates into strata. But by regular practice, one can move from a 600 to a 700+ level.
There are very limited questions in the OG and in my opinion an average person would need to practice consistently to get a hold of the conceptual questions. In my view, GmatClub tets help you do that.
The maths problems in the GMAT Club tests are very logical and they help you to identify the traps under time pressure. It is good to take the tests or the quizzes so that you can convert your weakness into your strength. The problems on number properties and prime numbers are simply fantastic.
There are all sorts of problems in the tests. The solutions by Brunel are fantastic and easy to do under 2 minutes. Also the test teaches you that reading well under time pressure is the key to success. In DS, one should read the stem well , else the answer can be wrong. In PS, one can plug in values. A must do before the actual exam!
I've always struggled with the quant section more than the verbal on the GMAT even though I'm not a native speaker. I had already taken the GMAT once and completely bombed the quant section, scoring a 650(Q43,V36). When I was trying to analyze what went wrong, so I could practice and improve my quant, score I realized I hadn't practiced with the toughest quant questions available, But I also wanted a score improvement guarantee, So I bought a magoosh subscription(which comes with 3 months of free access to GMAT club tests) and finished all the questions on magoosh. However, even after that I hadn't even hit a Q48 score on a practice test. Frustrated, I decided to turn to GMAT club tests. I hadn't started with gmat club tests earlier because when I tried it in the beginning before finishing the magoosh material, I found the quality of questions to be very high, and my performance was so poor, it was very demotivating. But having completed, all the magoosh material, I was finally ready to tackle Gmat club tests, My score in Gmat club tests were still pretty bad. But on practicing around 200 questions from the Gmat club tests set, I tried a full length veritas prep practice test, and finally scored that Q48. So now I'm trying to work through the rest of the GMAT club test problems, So I can hit that coveted Q50-51. This is the first time I've felt like it may actually be within my reach, on the brink of possibility with a little more effort. I recommend Gmat club tests to anyone who is struggling with math. The difficulty level is definitely bound to get to you in the beginning, But do not get frustrated and give up, Do not get demotivated or discouraged. These questions are harder than what may be asked on the GMAT. But they are great to train your brain in to thinking critically for data sufficiency questions and just generally build the stamina to tackle the GMAT quant section. Stick with GMAT club tests, You will definitely see improvement. I haven't tried the verbal questions in Gmat club tests, and so I cannot comment on that. But definitely go for gmat club tests to improve your quant score.
GMAT Club is a very useful forum for GMAT aspirants looking for thorough preparation in both quant and verbal sections. The quant questions discussed in the platform are of high quality across all difficulty levels. Also, the information shared regarding latest changes/trends/updates is reliable and very useful. Webinars and other sessions conducted by various other test prep companies are quite useful. Multiple discussions on a question by different members open up new approaches and helps one select his/her best approach. GMAT club tests provide a very good platform to simulate GMAT tests environment including the look and feel and quality of questions.
I have had experiences with a lot of questions from various sources including the official GMATprep, Manhattan Test Series, Veritas test series in addition to GMATClub question bank. I mostly use GMATclub for sectional tests (full length) and the experience has been really good. The level and quality of questions, the explanation and the link to forum discussion are some of the key highlights of the module. Additionally, the analytics and the reports on the results and problem areas are also very insightful to pin point the problem area.
Few areas of improvements:
1. Increase the number of Verbal tests. It is really important as it's a big selling point to the non native speaking GMAT takers.
2. Include a few full length tests (all sections, including IR and AWA)
3. Better and imporved tie-ups with Magoosh, e-gmat etc. for more attractive packages.
In my first gmat I had prepared with random tests available over internet due to which despite being strong in quant I faltered. I spoke to a friend who suggested me for gmat club quant tests and trust me guys gmat club quant tests are the best in the market. The test questions are not difficult. They are just tricky and you need to know the fundamentals before getting good score in quant. The questions are almost similar to actual gmat questions. I am still practising more and more to get q50 next time. And yes bunnel is the modern age Ramanujan of gmat. He knows everything’s and his questions are of high quality.

The interface and question structures for QA and Va is closer to the actual test. One is sure to achieve the desired ability with these tests as the solutions and different approaches make the learning more meaningful. The questions and the interface to choose the desired level for each topic provides the flexibility to master the topics where one is weak. The widespread question bank covers all the concepts comprehensively that no other resources are required. The flexibility of taking the tests as individual section tests makes the platform more useful with the exact measure of the ability. The question type covers all difficulty level so that the actual GMAT test feels more similar and familiar.
I took E GMAT online prep along with Access to GMAT club tests.
The questions in CAT are perfectly made to cover all different topics both in Quant and Verbal. Last time when in too GMAT i scored Q51 and GMAT club tests played a very crucial role in working on my weaker fronts. The feedback and the discussion for every doubt on any question is quickly resolved by the team. We can bookmark the content as well for reviewing it later and work on our mistakes. I can surely say if you can get an avergare of q49-50 in each test, there are really good hances that you can get Q51 in the main exam.
HI,
I will start by saying , that though these tests deviate a bit from the actual GMAT exam tests, But the crisp explanations are really concept building and in all senses a better study for the real GMAT exam.
Its a must do for all the aspirants aiming for a Quants 50 , 50+
All topics are equally covered, Also different modes are available like Study mode, Practice Mode and exam mode, which student can choose as per his/her flexibility.
Also, a student has a choice of using questions either as mock or as Quizzes.
Its an all in one program made... I rate it higher than any other Quants study material present in market
Well, I took up GMAT Club Tests pretty late in my preparation. So it was a blessing in disguise when I started using it. Fantastic set of questions with clever traps. It's more for those who's learned the formulas but want to virtually cover every single type of question in which those concepts and formulas could be applied. It surely improved my attention to detail big time ! I would recommend exhausting every single questions esp 600 and 700 question types and I personally believe it will be a big boost to your confidence and ultimately your score. Good luck and Cheers to the GMAT Club Team!
