What this practice test covers

This test follows the current GMAT's structure: three sections, 45 minutes each, 64 questions total.

  • Quantitative Reasoning: 21 questions. Problem Solving only, five answer choices, no calculator. Arithmetic (percents, ratios, rates, number properties, statistics, counting, probability) and algebra (equations, inequalities, functions, exponents, sequences, absolute value).
  • Verbal Reasoning: 23 questions. Ten Critical Reasoning questions plus four Reading Comprehension passages with 13 questions.
  • Data Insights: 20 questions. Data Sufficiency, a three-source Multi-Source Reasoning set, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, and Two-Part Analysis, with an on-screen calculator.

Every question is original, written to match the official style and difficulty range. The mix runs roughly 25–30% easier, 45–50% medium, and 25% harder questions. Sections run Quant, then Verbal, then Data Insights; on the real exam you choose the order.

How to use it: exam mode vs. practice mode

Exam mode is your dress rehearsal. Each section is timed at 45 minutes, and you see answers only at the end. Take it in one sitting, keep any break to 10 minutes, and silence your phone.

Practice mode is for learning. Check each answer as you go and read the explanation right away. It's the better choice for a first pass through Data Insights if the formats are new to you.

The real GMAT lets you change only three answers per section. Hold yourself to that in exam mode, even though this test won't stop you. It's the only way to practice the real decision.

How the real GMAT is scored

The real GMAT is adaptive: question difficulty responds to your answers, and your section scores (60–90) and total score (205–805) come from GMAC's scoring algorithm, which accounts for question difficulty. A fixed practice test can't reproduce that. So this one reports percent correct by section and question type, and it doesn't convert to a scaled score. Any conversion would be a guess dressed up as a number.

Multi-part Data Insights questions are scored all-or-nothing here: a Table Analysis question with three statements counts only if all three are right.

What to do after the test

  1. Review every miss and every guess. Read why the right answer is right and why the answer you picked was tempting. The trap you fell for is the lesson.
  2. Log each miss by cause: concept gap, trap answer, misread, or time pressure. Fix concept gaps with study, and fix the other three with timed practice.
  3. Target your weakest area. Our Data Insights guide walks through all five formats, and the Focus Edition guide covers section order and answer-edit strategy.
  4. Move to official practice exams for score estimates on the real scale.

Sample questions

5 questions from this practice test, with answers and explanations. Take the full test above for timing, scoring and your weakest domains.

Sample question 1ArithmeticHard

A bag contains 4 red marbles and 6 blue marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random, one after the other, without replacement. What is the probability that both marbles are the same color?

  1. A. 2/15
  2. B. 1/3
  3. C. 2/5
  4. D. 7/15
  5. E. 13/25
Show answerHide answer
Correct answerD. 7/15

Add the two ways to match. Both red: (4/10)(3/9) = 12/90. Both blue: (6/10)(5/9) = 30/90. Total: 42/90 = 7/15.

13/25 is the answer if the first marble were put back (0.42 + 0.62 = 0.52). Without replacement, the second draw has one fewer marble of the color already drawn. 2/15 and 1/3 each count only one color.

Sample question 2AlgebraHard

A store sells pens for $3 each and notebooks for $5 each. Jamal spent exactly $64 on pens and notebooks and bought at least one of each. What is the greatest possible total number of items he could have bought?

  1. A. 14
  2. B. 18
  3. C. 20
  4. D. 21
  5. E. 22
Show answerHide answer
Correct answerC. 20

Let p = pens and n = notebooks: 3p + 5n = 64 with p, n ≥ 1. For 64 − 5n to be divisible by 3, n must leave remainder 2 when divided by 3, so n = 2, 5, 8, or 11. Those give p = 18, 13, 8, 3 and totals of 20, 18, 16, 14. To maximize items, buy as few of the pricier notebooks as possible: 18 pens + 2 notebooks = 20 items.

21 looks right because 64 ÷ 3 ≈ 21.3, but Jamal must buy at least one notebook and hit $64 exactly. 14 is the minimum total, not the maximum.

Sample question 3Critical ReasoningMedium

At Vantis Software, employees who attended an optional time-management workshop last year completed, on average, 15 percent more assigned tasks per month afterward than employees who did not attend. Vantis's managers concluded that requiring every employee to attend the workshop would raise the company's overall task-completion rate.

The managers' conclusion depends on which of the following assumptions?

  1. A. The employees who chose to attend the workshop were not, before attending, already completing substantially more tasks than those who did not attend.
  2. B. The workshop is the only way for employees to improve their time-management skills.
  3. C. Employees who complete more tasks per month also produce higher-quality work.
  4. D. Most employees who did not attend the workshop would have liked to attend.
  5. E. Requiring the workshop would not significantly increase the company's training costs.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answerA. The employees who chose to attend the workshop were not, before attending, already completing substantially more tasks than those who did not attend.

Attendance was optional, so the attendees chose themselves. Use the negation test: if attendees were already the more productive employees before the workshop, the 15 percent gap says nothing about what the workshop does, and forcing everyone to attend wouldn't be expected to raise output. The conclusion needs this assumption.

"The only way" is too strong: the workshop can help even if other methods exist. Training costs and work quality are outside a conclusion that is only about the task-completion rate.

Sample question 4Two-Part AnalysisHard

Working together at their constant rates, Machines P and Q can complete a certain job in 2 hours. Working alone, Machine P takes 3 hours longer to complete the job than Machine Q does working alone.

In the table, select the number of hours Machine P would take to complete the job alone and the number of hours Machine Q would take to complete the job alone. Make only two selections, one in each column.

StatementMachine P alone (hours)Machine Q alone (hours)
2○○
3○○
4○○
5○○
6○○
8○○
Show answerHide answer
Correct answerMachine P alone (hours): 6
Machine Q alone (hours): 3

Let Q take q hours, so P takes q + 3. Rates add: 1/q + 1/(q + 3) = 1/2. Multiply through by 2q(q + 3): 2(q + 3) + 2q = q(q + 3), so 4q + 6 = q2 + 3q, or q2 − q − 6 = 0. That factors to (q − 3)(q + 2) = 0, so q = 3 and P takes 6. Check: 1/6 + 1/3 = 1/2.

5 and 2 satisfies the "3 hours longer" condition, but together they'd finish in 1/(1/5 + 1/2) ≈ 1.43 hours, not 2. Both parts must satisfy both conditions.

Sample question 5Data SufficiencyHard

Is x > 1?

(1) x2 > 1

(2) x3 > x2

  1. A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
  2. B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
  3. C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
  4. D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
  5. E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answerB. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

(1) x2 > 1 means x > 1 or x < −1. x = 2 gives yes; x = −2 gives no. Not sufficient.

(2) x3 − x2 > 0 factors to x2(x − 1) > 0. Since x2 is never negative, x2 must be positive and x − 1 must be positive, so x > 1. Definite yes: sufficient.

Answer: (2) alone. The common slip is taking the square root in (1) and keeping only the positive branch, which makes (1) look sufficient too.
