Grockit's materials are mocked from released questions and the official guide. Here's the reviews: https://reviews.beatthegmat.com/grockit

I have been using grockit quant for a while now however, i find questions are too tough to be solved within the time limit of 2:30 min and questions are not close to gmat. Some questions are too calc intensive that it is not possible to solve within 5 mins even. I have found many questions are close to the questions of IIM's cat and other competitive exams. Verbal CR and SC are fine although i wouldn't recommend RC. Nothing can be close to OG RC or manhattan RC. Now, I only practice on Grockit whenever I get time.

Hi Vivian

As you are a Grockit tutor, can you please advice me on the accuracy of the answer choices. Some of the answer choices which I have seen and I was 100% positive on SC specially that the answer is wrong and other community members have said that however I changed the wordings and post it on the forums and I was surprised that 3 expert tutors from the MBA prep company agrees with me. Now if it was a system error it was different thing but the owner of the grockit has explained that answer in video too. Even though it didn't make any sense to me or any other community members I was doing practise with.

Do you know that there are quite a few questions are there like this.

Now I am nowhere expert in GMAT material as I am just learning but there are certain areas in SC and QUANT where I can be 100% positive on my answers.

I would highly appreciate your feedback as I wanted to know that how can I relate the grockit results to my score.

Thanks
Rakesh
