Evaluation Test - Quantitative Section


The test below contains 30 GMAT questions from the Quantitative Section of the test. There are approximately 10 questions that might be considered 'easier', 10 of medium difficulty and 10 that might be considered 'tough', although they are not strictly in that order.

For the purposes of initial evaluation, there is no time limit for this test. You may answer the questions in any order you wish, however in the actual test this will not be possible, so it is better practice for you to attempt the questions in the sequence that they appear.

If you are close the end of your preparation for the GMAT and wish to use the test below to assess your readiness, then you should allow yourself no more than 1 hour to complete the test.

At the end of the test, you may print your answers then click on the button provided to receive your score. Finally you may send the results of your test to us directly by email, using the button provided.
