GMAT Club test questions, specially the 700+ quant questions, were by far the best study material I used. Key areas where i learnt new tricks were below:
1. Consecutive integers and squares properties
2. Rate/Motion question types
3. Inequalities and Absolute values
4. Nested geometry figures
5. Combinatorics and Probaility
6. Coordinate Geometry
I practiced all questions in Quiz mode personally to improve on topic wise timing and tricks. The strategy I would recommend would be the following:
1. Take practice test 1
2. Identify your strong and week points and log them in the error log
3. Curate custom quizzes on both strong and weak areas.
4. On Strong areas focus on improving accuracy and timing
5. On weak areas focus on learning the material so initially take as much time as you need to get the problem right. Repeat process to focus on timing
5. ALWAYS read Bunuel's solution techniques even on questions you got right because he will teach you the tricks to solve the questions faster.
The GMAT Club Tests have sundry of questions in the 700+ range. Thus it forms a good quesiton bank particularly for quant.
What I really like is the Question Explanation has links to discussion. Ideally when you are going through the discussion you will find many ways to solve the same question which is an essential part of while preparing for GMAT.
However, I would really like to see the Verbal questions to be at par with the Quant section. I did feel that some of the verbal questions could've had better explanations. Further, some of the sentence correction questions were unnecessarily complicated and I wasn't satisfied with the answers.
However, I would strongly recommend this for Quant practice as this is worth every penny for the quant seciton!
GMAT CLUB tests are one of the best tests available in the market. The Questions are more similar to Official Tests.
Though the Quant Part is slightly tricky and hard, Verbal is more of medium level difficulty. Noe elaborating Quant part, There are basically two parts in Quant in which one is PS and another one is DS. In GMAT, the DS section is quite tricky. The GMAT Club tests cover extensively on DS part. In the PS part, basically, Inequalities part plays an important role. The GMAT CLUB tests cover very tricky questions and clear Fundamentals.
IN the Verbal section, The RC covers a range of passages to choose. IN the CR, very tricky assumption based questions are covered. IN SC, all the fundamental of grammar are covered.
Gmat Club Math section is awesome! In regards to verbal maybe you could partner more with e-gmat or veritas prep to have them post answers with their explanations for verbal questions and for the CATs answer explanations. I have seen that now you offer a bundle with e-gmat which probably is the best study combo for a beginner. Coming back to math section I like that you give very time-efficient answers, with lots of useful time-saving shortcuts; I believe that you are the best go-to study platform for time management improvement in quant. Thanks for making this great study platform available :)
Highly recommend for those learners who seek to score +700 on GMAT. You will find the Math part a little bit more difficult than the actual test, but it's a good training for those who want to score +50 on Quantitative. I tried to learn more simple questions from other sources and came here for extremely tough question! The explanation are really great, you will learn a lot from it. The more I can learn, the more I feel confident on the upcoming text. Don't be bothered by the practice result because you might find it much easier on actual test. The Verbal part is pretty good, too, even though you might the Reading quite tough. In overall, I would recommend this product!
I was absolutely struggling with quant before discovering these GMAT club tests. Absolute lifesavers! They are very analytical and track your progress extremely well. I am so glad I found this resource. I use these tests in addition to the OG and my other test prep source. I would not be as far along in my studies if it were not for the brilliance of this tool. I recommended that everybody who is struggling with the quantitative reasoning section utilize this. I think they also have an app which is great because I will definitely be downloading. You wont be sorry!
Hello Everyone,
In response to my Gmat Club experience, I must say that Gmat is platform where student will get every kind of stuff. Gmat club has integrated every thread such as theory part, proper explanation of each question, quiz, and cat exam. And the best part is student could have personal discussion over question with "BB"- A Math Guru. Moreover, students interact with other students over chat and discuss their problem. If somebody want the best stuff for quant section, then that person must go for Gmat club quant section giving you ample opportunities to go through in every kind of quant problems. I used my GmatClub tests subscription for 6 months, Simply because practicing the quant section here really boost my confidence. The first time I got a Q50 in the GmatClub tests I felt like NOW i'm ready for the actual GMAT. I had used the GmatClub tests along with MGMAT/Veritas tests to practice the CATS exam. I must say Gmat club gives you all what you are asking for.

I think the Quant tests of GMAT club are a must in everyone's GMAT prep. They helped me improve my score from Q48--> Q50. The questions are harder than the actual exam but they helped me improve my time management. For my first attempt, I used only Manhattan and the Official Guide for quant practice. Manhattan was extremely difficult and did not imo have questions with the same traps and scenarios that the GMAT quant section does. GMAT club questions were closer to the actual exam. Highly recommend it. The Verbal however, I found a bit lacking. Its good for practice and getting comfortable with the exam but there are courses with better Verbal prep out there. the Quant is 10/10 but the Verbal falls slightly short.
Initially, I used only GMATPrep, OG, and Manhattan Prep for my preparation but I was seeing very little improvement in my Quant score. Later, I started using GMATClub and since then have seen a significant improvement in my understanding of several quant concepts. I also used GMATClub to find detailed explanations of problems on the GMATPrep exams as well as Manhattan Prep exams, specifically, the explanations posted by the moderators, Bunuel and Chetan2u.
I got a quant score of 49 on my last exam after using GMATClub tests. I am hoping to pull it up to 50 soon!
I think besides GMATPrep, GMATClub tests come closest to actual GMAT exam problems and if therefore, a great tool to use when you are looking for additional practice problems.
The quant section of these tests is excellent, with lots of unusual problems that improve your thinking skills. Occasionally they do spit out a question that contains material beyond what the scope of the actual test
The verbal section is not that useful for advanced verbal scores - say anything over 42 - because the questions are just too inconsistent and unclear. The "correct" answers in quite a lot of the 700 level SC contain a lot of badly written or even incorrect language/grammar. Some of the CR have 2 viable options in the answer choices or are generally unclear. RC is usually decent. (note that my verbal scores in official test prep are currently in the 44-49 range, so definitely at the upper end of the scale, and I don't have so many clarity issues in with the OG questions. OG questions can usually be pretty easily narrowed down to one answer choice and I don't find this the case with many of the 700 level gmat questions on this test)
If you are in the high level verbal range, these CATS may give you inconsistent verbal score depending on the questions they spit out.
To follow up - I scored 770 in my actual exam - q49v47, compared to 760 in my most recent GMATclub test which was q49v45. The GMATclub question bank is amazing for quant and helped my bump my score by 2, and I think the GMATclub quant tests are a little harder than OG - so whatever score you get here you should be able to replicate under the pressure of the exam. I think they will underscore top verbal scorers due to issues/errors/llack of clarity in the top verbal questions
