Gmat club tests are simply a must have in your study material if you plan to hit those 50-51 numbers in Quant. The exams are little harder than the real gmat exam and gives you a really good prospect of all the tricks that an actual exam could throw on your way. It is undoubtedly one of the best practice course materials that I have come across. I took the gmat last month and scored 49 despite that fact that it was one of the worst days for me. I was down with viral and wasn’t full on energy. I am sure that I made some silly mistakes and that’s why couldn’t get a 50 or 51 by I plan to retake the test to improve the score further and again I am relying on gmat club tests the most.
I personally feel that the verbal tests are not as good as the quant tests are. Quant tests give you a very good predication on your actual score but verbal tests fail to do the same. But still, they are a good practice material.
the quants module is really comprehensive...very responsive forums for doubt clearing...much better than other prep packages... after using for couple of weeks only, i could see the difference in my scores in the mock...the verbal practice quiz is also at a pretty higher level...totally in sync with the official tests...helps in the right assessment of core competencies...
another important feature is the availability of the solution of all the standard gmat prep tests with forums helping out on the detailed explanation...they are so quick that within few minutes of posting a query,one can get the resolution.I would suggest this portal to all the Gmat aspirants.
Thnx
The quantitative tests of Gmatclub are very useful, since they are harder than the Gmatprep questions as well as the Official Guide questions and makes feel the Official Gmat questions easier. After appearing for about 10 Gmat club tests, the Gmatprep questions seems easy.
The Verbal questions are also harder than expected, but the number of questions and CAT tests can be increased, since it is less than the quantitative tests. Verbal section can be further improved by giving detailed explanations, since some questions lack detailed explanations. The RC section seemed very hard for me to crack and took longer to solve than other tests. The SC and CR sections were comparative to the Gmat questions. Overall, it gives good practice and almost covers important verbal topics.
The quant part of test of one of best and may be just below Manhattan. The verbal part though better than Kaplan, but still needs more improvement to get to level of Manhattan and Veritas.
Postives:
Lots of tricky questions
25+ tests, so less fear of running out
Scoring not conspicuous for most part
Negatives
Some CR logic are not GMAT like (although I hold no authority to make this claim)
Scoring in Verbal was weird for me - scored v40+ in last 2-3 tests but scored v37 in GMAT
Overall, GMAT Club tests provide good pratice and are worth your money.
The GMAT tests are must purchase for Quant. I think this is probably the single best resource for GMAT especially for someone who has a decent grasp on basic Quant concepts.
The tests are hard, and the difficult questions come at you right from the beginning. I did not start taking these tests until I had spent over a month studying, but I believe they prepared me well for both the content on the test and the time restriction aspect. If I studied on a particular day I would usually do 1 Quant test and review the answers that I got wrong or guessed on, which ended up taking about two hours. I found this to be an effective study strategy and I think it helped come test day. I was able to finish the Quant section with 10 minutes to spare.
The verbal portion of the service is more or less useless. Most of the questions in my opinion are trying to trick you, not test your ability. I scored in the 20's and low 30's on my verbal CATs but scored a 44 on the verbal of the actual GMAT so I would take it with a grain of salt.
Overall I give it a 5/5 for the quality and quantity of the quant.
Gmat Club tests are designed in such a way that all the topics under gmat are covered. Gmat Club maths tests make you tune you to a harder level as a result you will be feeling easy while writing your official exam. Gmat club tests help you to find out the weak areas .As a result putting effort on the weak areas will make you score higher.
ideal tests for any gmat aspirants especially in maths. If you are able to score around 49 to 51 in GC Tests,you can get around 50-51 in Official Gmat exam. Try to maintain an error log of the wrong problems.
Best of luck to your exam
To start with, Quantitative exams provide a great experience and versatility of questions that made me feel comfortable to tackle even the hard questions, especially those that seem to be difficult in the beginning. The tests have great explanations that are easy to understand and can be applied easily elsewhere.
The Verbal exams also come with a great set of questions that help to understand and apply concept in a systematic way. I would surely recommend GMAT aspirants to have these CAT's as part of your prep material as these are gonna help you a lot with your concept application.
GMAT club quant section is very much similar to actual quant section of GMAT.I have been scoring 47-50 in the GMAT CLUB tests and my score in actual GMAT is 49. I started the test 3 minutes late ,otherwise I could have scored better.I believe that GMAT club quant is enough to score 51 in the actual test.However, the verbal section is not that similar.The tests really helped me in preparing for GMAT exam. I had used the GmatClub tests along with MGMAT/Veritas tests to practice the CATs, and I will suggest the same strategy to others appearing for the GMAT.
GMAT Club tests are extremely helpful and provide an abundance of resources, tips, and analysis to help you accurately gauge your performance on the GMAT. The Quant portion is especially useful in evaluating what specific portions of quant you can improve in, rather than just distinguishing between problem solving and data sufficiency. The Verbal is helpful as well, and almost every question can be found within its own forum where different viewpoints help anyone come to a clear understanding of why the correct answer is what it is. Be sure to utilize these with other materials as well to vary your exposure to questions. Strongly recommend!
I did some tests from multiple test companies, including the GMAT prep. GMAT club tests are almost the best in the market period.
The extra difficulty in the quant tests will make the actual GMAT seem easier.
After going through the basics and getting the foundations in place, gmat club's quant tests will push your knowledge to the boundaries and although they seem daunting at first, you are forced to apply shortcuts or tips and tricks to finish the questions on time.
You can find good explanation to the questions and you will learn a lot. I Definitely recommend it!
