Practicing GMAT Club Quant questions definitely helps, but relying only on them isn’t enough. The platform has a huge pool of questions, but the difficulty level often skews harder than the real test. That’s good for building problem-solving stamina, but sometimes it makes test-takers focus too much on extreme questions that don’t reflect actual exam balance.
The official GMAT Focus questions follow very specific patterns and logic that GMAT Club can’t fully replicate. Concepts like data sufficiency phrasing, answer trap designs, and question wording are unique to official materials.
Using GMAT Club alongside the official practice sets works best. The club questions build skill and speed; official ones sharpen test sense. Skipping official materials risks being unprepared for how GMAT actually frames problems.

Many people practice a lot on GMAT Club but still struggle on test day. The problem is that GMAT Club has many user-created questions, and not all match the exact style of the official exam. In data sufficiency especially, the wording on GMAT is much more precise and often tricks test-takers who aren’t used to it.
Another issue is pacing. GMAT Club often includes extremely tough questions that aren’t as common on the real test. Practicing only those can mess up time management because it creates the habit of overthinking.
The best approach is to use GMAT Club to strengthen weak areas and see a wide variety of problems. But spend the last few weeks only with official GMAT Focus questions to adjust fully to the exam’s real logic and difficulty.
