Gmat club tests are one of the reliable tests available for GMAT preparation. There scoring algorithm is close to GMAT score and of all the mocks I have given, gmatclub mocks have the closest user interface to the actual gmatprep and the actual GMAT exam.
The explanation of the questions is very well and descriptive.
Gmat club has best in class questions for Quant but question pool for verbal needs to be improved. Quant tests are very useful to learn/approach advanced questions. Yet few more tests are required in verbal section.
Also complete full length tests from gmatclub would be of a gerat help for all gmat aspirants.
GMAT Club test is an interesting concept where you get access to sectional test (Quant/Verbal) as well as you can choose specific sub sections and difficulty level.
However, there is no option to select a full length test which will stimulate an actual GMAT test.
Additionally, the scoring algorithm is a bit different than the actual GMAT or a Manhattan test. It is heavily biased on a good start as well as string of questions you get wrong.
As an improvement area, I would definitely want an option of few full length tests which include AWA,IR, Quant and Verbal.
I have taken GMAT CLub test for a few times and have found that it is extremely useful for people struggling in Quants.I myself was able to improve my score to 45 in quants from a meagre 35.
GMAT club test have all questions with the detailed explanations and it is extremely good to practice for the real GMAT.The scores are in line with the real GMAT test.
Though a bit of more tests are required in English.Few more test in english with elaborative explanations will be quite helpful to students as more test will give a lot more practice.Hope that is taken care off.
In my GMAT Club Tests I used to score 49/50 regularly & 51 once. In the real exam I got 50 in Quant.
I think GMAT club ha the best in class 600 & 700 level questions
Sometimes questions are in the tougher side but thats the way to learn math !!!!! Practice tougher questions. I practiced almost 90% of all 600-700 questions.
For me personally Verbal section was a letdown. I felt the SC questions are not upto the mark. Some cases the SC questions conflict with the basic concept learned.
Hence I didn't continue Verbal tests.
Warning: I didn't practice much of Verbal from GMAT club. I may have done 10% over all.
The GMAT Club test are an amazing supplement for the quant section. The quant questions are generally geared towards the 700 level. I would definitely recommend that you have a strong foundation before having a crack at all the questions (So you don't skew your practice test by encountering repeats if resetting the Q bank). The verbal section is slightly lacking in comparison to quant, but I think the quant section is well worth it even if the verbal questions were not included. I have a weird fixation with analytics when it comes to tracking my progress, and to my surprise they were really able to put together a great dashboard to identity strengths/weaknesses. However, I would have to say that my favorite thing about the club test would be format in which the question review is set up. You have the ability to scroll through questions by type/difficulty with ease, which include detail explanations from the forum. It eliminates the constant flipping through pages when studying tagged questions posted in the forum.
The Gmatclub tests, especially so the Quant questions are a very good set of Questions for anyone targeting 700+. If you can score well in these tests and understand the nuances and logic behind each question, you are sure to do well in the actual GMAT. Use these questions to enhance your score but best is to use them in mocks rather than using them as standalone questions and then review each question.
Therefore GMAT club tests are a must do for any one and everyone dreaming of a high Quant score. Use all the resources you have judiciously.
All the best for your GMAT preparations.
The GMAT Club Tests are the best practice material that gives you an excellent idea of your performance. The difficulty level is very much on par with the actual test. I have done the mistake in the past of having attempted just 1 such test and that too, just one day before my GMAT exam.
Pros -
1. Large question pool.
2. Questions relevant to the GMAT - one won't find questions which are not relevant to the GMAT. GMATClub must have given great efforts to sort the questions out, more so for the fact that they have a huge number of difficult quant level questions. Almost every difficult and super difficult level question has a solution that would take 2 or at max 3 minutes. This is important since as a GMAT taker one needs to practice GMAT like content.
Gmat club tests are most reliable tests.
First of all apologise if my words sound weird, English is not my mother thong. that's being said
No doubt GMAT Club Tests is one of the best tool for your prep. it is definitely a must have if you want to kill the test.
The questions, explanations are just fantastic.
It is really terrific to have the possibility to specifically target which part you want to study.
As a foreign test taker I thing It will have been good to have more verbal questions.
It is hard to understand why such an emphasise on Quant whereas it s a fact that the verbal weight more in the final score.
But that critic apply to all the prep out there.
Otherwise, I highly recommend everyone who is serious about the GMAT.to use GMAT Club Tests.

Soon I found that I wasn't equipped yet to write my test as I had scored only 570 in the club test. Next day, on the D day, I got 580. This is how precise the gmat club tests are.
This time around, I have planned to take these well in advance and will try to take as many test as possible to improve my score.
The quant tests are truly an amazing collection of questions. The question for 600 and 700 level difficulty are indeed very helpful for practice especially for one aiming 700+. The questions are tricky more than difficult, which is require to solve the quant questions in less than 2 mins. The content of tests are difficult to match with any prep course looking at the diversity of questions and wonderful explanations which give most of the time the other perspective to solve the question rather than going to the traditional way (which could take a longer time than required)
I recommend this as a must have for anybody aiming above 49 in quant section. I am yet to explore the verbal section , so cannot give my review on it as of now.
HI Chetan
I recently started taking these tests and my score for the first 5 tests are Q44 Q47 Q47 Q49 Q47. Since I have heard these tests are of overall higher difficulty level, can you please tell how well am I faring in these tests so far? My Quant target score is at-least a Q50 on GMAT, and I am planning to take my exam in the 3 weeks. How should my score be in these tests so that the likelihood of a Q50 on actual GMAT is increased.
Thank you
