Strengths:
Very good pool of questions available for quant tests.
The solutions and discussion of these test questions in the forum helps to learn different methods and approach to solve a particular question.
Would make the product better:
Verbal CAT tests can be build around OGs and other Official Sources.
Number of Verbal Test can be increased.
One stop solution for improvement in QA.
The tests contain a mix of medium to high difficult quant questions that really help with improving both accuracy and speed. Since there are many tests available, one can strategically use them to improve over time by focusing on strengths and weaknesses.
The explanations given by Bunuel and other experts for quant questions are really helpful in understanding the gap in the method and those explanations also enhance the thinking of the test taker. Also, the statistics and topic wise data of where I was doing well and where needed improvement also helped a lot.
I found GMAT club tests to be very efficient tools of preparation. Once I finished studying the official guide, GMAT club tests and practice questions pack on GMAT Club were all I did till my test day.
I would recommend all students to use this tool to monitor their weaknesses and work on them to ace the GMAT exam on the first attempt as I did.
My overall rating for this product would be 5/5 for having real exam-like questions, options to opt or not opt for a time limit, tracking scores and providing a realistic image of progress. one can also download an excel sheet to see the percentage of correct questions while solving from the practice packs on GMAT club that are really helpful.
I think it was a valuable purchase. As I have already mentioned it has a good user experiences, very little technical glitches.
It would be a valuable purchase for anyone preparing for the GMAT.
But please, don't rely on your scores and don't get demotivated if you are unable to solve the difficult questions, specially in the quantitative section. There are way too many difficult and time consuming questions.
Verbal is upto the mark. Questions are somewhat similar to the actual GMAT.
You should focus on Official guide questions, these tests can be more helpful if you just want to practice more under timed conditions.
GMAT Club Tests offer effective and challenging questions to gauge the preparation levels for a GMAT student. The Pro version has enhanced the scope to include challenging IR questions, and AWA topics considering wide range of topics relating to a variety of subjects. One must solve the Topic-wise Study Bank, as it assists building up the concepts.
The Questions' Sets for the Verbal and Quant tests should be totally different from those questions , which have been covered in the Topic-wise Question Bank.
The Tests' are a perfect assessment of the students' ability. Kudos to the creators of GMAT Club Tests.
While we are preparing for the GMAT, I could have attained some level of accuracy, but finishing the verbal/quant section in the time allocated was another big challenge.
Mastering the questions does not goes accordingly with mastering the timing, and I think that GMAT Club tests, are among the most helpful tools to practice semi-tests of verbal and quant and measure the progress more closely.
That was so helpful to me, moving from V34/35 with 30min above the 65 MIN allocated, to V37/38 in just the allocated time.
The verbal gmatclub tests are so close to the level of real gmat questions, as compared with OG questions. On the other hand, the Quant part, when compared with that of the OG, presents a much more difficulty.
It could be seen as a good way to prepare because you are faced with a harder level than what you're going to see at the Official Test, but the sequencing of questions could harm your prep
The tests contain a mix of medium to high difficult quant questions that really help with improving both accuracy and speed. Most of these questions are new and you would not be biased by other questions you may have used to practice so far. (I did not try the verbal ones). I have given 5-6 tests so far and they helped me identify my weak areas and work on them.
The best way to use these would be to take them after you have worked on the topics you got wrong in the last test. Since there are many tests available, one can strategically use them to improve over time by focusing on strengths and weaknesses.
I find gmatclub quant tests very useful. The quant tests have excellent questions, though verbal questions are not as good as quant questions.
The tests analytics need improvement. Weak areas and strong areas of topic and subtopic need statistical analysis. Also if time analysis in 4 sections added, similar to GMAT ESR, it would be better to analyze not just questions but time management as well.
I like pause and tests in study mode feature. Also, 23 quant tests are plenty and no need to practice other tests. Though cant say same about verbal as it is only 9.
I liked full tests, IR and AWA sections that are added recently in GMAT club tests. It gives full mock experience.
GMAT Club Tests are great in case one wants to practice higher-level quant. In such tests, one can typically expect to see close to twelve 700-level questions, ten 600-level questions and the remaining 500-level questions (for a late 40s level). The questions tested are not lengthy but tricky, a kind similar to the ones that a student can encounter in the actual GMAT. The concepts tested are also very much similar to the actual test. Verbal tests are decent for practice too, however answers to few questions can be debatable at times. In case of verbal, it is best to rely on official sources.
Disclaimer: Given that the test is adaptive, the proportion of questions across varying levels of difficulty may vary.
I aspire to score 720+ on the GMAT. Coming from a non-math background, Quant has been really difficult for me.
I covered the basics and slowly was able to do some questions in both PS and DS.
I wanted higher difficult questions and that's where the recommended GMAT Club Tests came in.
The quality of questions is so good that it makes you think not just the basics, but the entire logical concept of that topic.
The ease of use is splendid. Statistics help you a lot. It's very insightful.
The explanations are at your finger-tips. Also, if you want to practice, you can use STUDY MODE as well (un-timed).
I recommend it highly for Quant!
I'm yet to explore verbal.
I would like to highlight one thing about the GC tests that they are really good and provides a test taker with good questions. The GC tests' quant questions are way above than the questions one will face in actual test.
I could not take the best out of these tests as I was not seriously taking the Verbal tests, which were also good and i had to pay during my actual test.
The explanations given by Bunuel for quant questions are really helpful in understanding the gap in the method and those explanations also enhance the thinking of the test taker.
Thank you for your review. I appreciate it!
Sorry if we were not able to match your scores. Let me know what you got on the final GMAT vs. GMAT Club Tests. It would be helpful to know.
Thanks!
