Using this as a way to aim for Q48+. At first the tests may seem to tough to be of any benefit but trust me, they get easier and each question has a great lesson behind it. Keep taking the tests and you'll begin to see a pattern and learn from the mistakes you make.
At first I was discouraged to not be doing as well as I had done in other test prep materials, however, after dedicating much of my studies specifically for GMAT Club Quant I really noticed a dramatic change. Many of the practice tests I take now, I zoom through the Quant section. If you can do well on these exams, I assure you, you can do well on the real exam.
I dont think I need to review the the quant tests, because they are beyond words. Everyone has written about it and yes they are very good. They are a perfect guide to q51. But only if you time them. Doing untimed tests means you're just wasting them. But I'm disappionted with the verbal tests. The scores are not at all the right representation of your actual score (not even quant ) but atleast quant is like 2 level up. With verbal its not like that, I feel half of the questions are poor quality questions. They increase the level of difficulty by using subtle language to a next level. Even gmat uses subtle language but the level gmat club tests use is non sensical. The only thing I can here say is hire moderaters like bunuel and rework the verbal section and bring it at par with gmat prep or the og or go a level up, but dont use illogical things to make the test level difficult. Often in Rc and Cr there are two choices which are extremely close and other choice all are out of scope. These close choices ar so close that its like a 50-50 chance of getting a question right. The verbal section really needs a big revamp. And one thing is noticed is even the moderators are not standing up for it. Like by common sense there are two choices that are close to another level and both can be correct but even moderators are not saying a thing on them.
I can't think of any other platform whenever i have a doubt in any GMAT question. The experts, The Interface, and The replies all are the best.
The solutions are authentic, and experts are so easy to approach. Daagh, GMAT Ninja, Sayantanck, Bunuel
The 700-800 level questions in each category of SC, CR and RC are the best practice material.
Solutions by Bunuel for quant is yet another feather in GMAT Club
All the best practice material is available here for study be it
CR, RC, SC or Quant.
A blessing for GMAT Land. I have not spent a day without GMAT Club since, my preparation started.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]
It is a well known fact that GMATClub Quant tests contain questions that are, on average, tougher than the questions on the actual GMAT. However, for those who are struggling to get a 5 in the tens digit of the Quant score, I believe that the GMATClub Quant tests are the best in the business.
The questions themselves are well written and the solutions precise. In case you find a question or solution unpalatable, the discussion board for each question will clear your doubt(s) and may also provide alternate solutions.
Not only were my timing issues resolved but my confidence rose so much so that the official tests and GMAT prep tests seemed like a cakewalk. I highly recommend investing in these tests to anyone who wishes for a 48+ score in Quant.
Cheers!
The quant section tests are actually more difficult than the actual GMAT. They have a really large variety of questions and are a brilliant way to practice. The higher difficulty level ensures that you learn to pace well over the exam and choose which shots to take -- you cannot afford to spend/waste a lot of time on individual questions. However, I would suggest to only practice using official GMAT questions and NOT the GMATClub section tests during the last 2 weeks of the exam, because the official questions, even if retired, are actually closer to what you'll see in actual exams.
Verbal, on the other hand, is not as extensive as I feel it could be. There is a relatively small pool of questions, and consequently, small number of practice tests you can take. I would recommend doing the verbal section tests, but also look for the questions in the individual forums for working on more practice questions.
Overall, this tests are worth it, and I would strongly suggest anyone seriously considering GMT prep to get the tests!
Excellent tool for improving your Quant to the top level. As the name implies these tests were designed to challenge you. With some effort from your side they help you learn how to solve tough Quant questions. The Challenges cover all necessary areas of Quant section such as Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, Probability, Combinations/Permutation etc.Good tricks and though questions in both Math and Verbal. These CATs will force you to think in the right direction
In general, the results on real GMAT are in +/- 40 point range compared to MGMAT. Very good tool for personal evaluation, which helps to find week spots in your knowledge. Highly recommended if you want to check on your preparation progress
The GMAT club tests are good for improving quant score post Q49. The quality of questions is good in terms of relevance to actual GMAT. Some problems may be of little higher difficulty, but problems are great for practice and building stamina.
For Verbal number of tests are less, but contains GMAT equivalent questions.
Verbal explanations are also good with some high level concepts material. Best part about explanation is replies by the GMAT experts on the questions, one can get most learning out of the replies onA the high quality questions.
I really wish GMAT club would've provided more number tests for verbal also.
The quant section of GMAT Club Tests consists of 25 tests. The questions are also available in quizzes. These questions probably give the best practice required before real GMAT. I used the verbal section of GMAT Club Tests once I ran out of the questions from other sources. (You still get many free questions on the forum, but I opted for the verbal section because I thought it will contain some good handpicked questions and I was not disappointed). I am not a fan of the GMAT Club Tests’ Verbal section, but the Quant section can definitely help you score Q49+.
Gmatclub's online CAT exams are worth your time investment. There are are few places available, in my experience, where you can practice very similar GMAT like problems besides the official MBA.com/GMAC practice problems. It is important to practice problems that are very similar to the official problems in order to train yourself to recognize the style, patterns, and content within the Quant section of the GMAT. I would especially recommend taking all 26 Quant tests under timed conditions, especially if you are weak in Quant before buying the 6 available official exams from MBA.com (2 are free the other 2 pairs cost $50 each) Review every problem in detail - notice patterns - IE - train yourself to not make clumsy mistakes by recognizing to test 0 or not to use negative numbers etc). The Quant exams will help you build confidence, help you to spot "exception/constraints" that are being asked for that can be easily overlooked, help with timing, and just overall give you a very realistic sense of what to expect exam on test day. It took me 20 exams with detailed review to be able to established my orientation. I can't overestimate the value in the adaptive nature of these exams. Each exam provides detailed explanation for each problem - Bunuel is huge contributor to the GMATCLUB forum and his expertise is super valuable. I have tried several top GMAT programs (Gmatpill, Manhattangmat, 1% GMAT, E-E-gmat, Dominate the GMAT, GMAC/MBA) and would rate the Quantitative material (26 exams) 2nd behind the official GMAC. The Verbal section (9 practice exams) I would just say if you are looking for practice problems these are just as good as the competition - I would focus especially on critical reasoning and RC for practice.. The SC in the Verbal portion ...if you are at an 80% rate on SC and aiming for 90% plus - quality SC is extremely important - and so the best place for closing that gap to reach 90% plus SC rate is with the official questions. There are a number of questions in SC that seem to deviate slightly from the official GMAC content which may not reflect actual ability (but I have seen SC questions from top 5 competitors whose questions "deviate" even more. Nevertheless, I still feel that reviewing SC is very helpful. GMAT Club thank you for your content. Good Luck to all taking the GMAT.
I was looking for a standard GMAT test for practice purpose and i finally stumbled upon GMAT CLUB tests. These tests simply saved my precious time and energy as these have very standard and tougher questions which check our concept t every step. I am an engineer and my quant is good but i was surprised to see that i was making too many mistakes in high quality Quant questions related to Number system, Remainder etc .Thanks to these beautifully crafted Tests and awesome explanations/solutions provided by Bunuel ,i am now able to correct my conceptual gap and am now getting improved score. Even Verbal tests are crafted with very good questions especially in SC & CR. This test series will surely improve any person's score .
There are plethora of test series available in the market but maximum tests series have substandard questions which may waste our precious time ,leave alone money. So choosing a test series after proper though is must for cracking GMAT ,otherwise our har labour may prove futile. I strongly feel that GMAT CLUB tests are top notch and are second to official GMAT PREP tests.
Agree with you. GMAT Club Test brings out best in you also it prepares you to handle any challenging question that you may face in real gmat exam...
