GMAT practice test and GMAT prep course: unlimited GMAT practice questions

GMAC replaced the previous GMAT on February 1, 2024, and quietly dropped the "Focus Edition" label in July 2024, so the exam is now just called the GMAT. Three sections, 45 minutes each, 64 questions total. You may take the sections in any of six orders. The changes are not cosmetic: Data Sufficiency moved out of Quant and into Data Insights, Sentence Correction is gone from Verbal, and the Analytical Writing essay was removed entirely.

• Quantitative Reasoning: 21 questions in 45 minutes, Problem Solving only, no calculator
• Verbal Reasoning: 23 questions in 45 minutes, Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning only
• Data Insights: 20 questions in 45 minutes, with an on-screen calculator allowed
• One optional 10-minute break, taken after your first or second section

Data Insights is a full third of your total score and it is where most self-studiers lose points, because prep material written before 2024 treats it as an afterthought. It folds in five question types: Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation and Two-Part Analysis. Data Sufficiency in particular punishes people who solve the problem instead of asking whether it could be solved. It is also the only section where you get a calculator, which changes how you should budget time.

• Data Sufficiency: decide whether the question can be answered, do not answer it
• Multi-Source Reasoning: the numbers you need are deliberately split across tabs
• Table Analysis and Graphics Interpretation: sort and read before you compute
• Two-Part Analysis: two linked answers, and partial credit does not exist

Total scores run 205 to 805 in 10-point steps and always end in 5. Each section is scored 60 to 90, and all three are weighted equally, which is itself a change: the old 200 to 800 total came only from Quant and Verbal. Because the scales are built differently, GMAC states plainly that comparing a current total score to an old one "is not appropriate, accurate, or a meaningful comparison of performance." Compare percentiles instead. On GMAC's own concordance, a 655 sits at the 90.5th percentile and a 645 at the 86.7th, so the popular shorthand that "645 equals a 700" is loose at best.

• Total score: 205 to 805, in steps of 10, always ending in 5
• Section scores: 60 to 90 each, equally weighted
• The worldwide mean total score was 558 in GMAC's 2025 testing year
• Roughly the 90th percentile: a 655 total

You cannot skip a question or go back mid-section, because the test adapts to each answer as you give it. But after you finish a section, if time remains, you get a review screen: bookmark as many questions as you like and change up to three answers per section, nine across the exam. That makes pacing a strategy rather than a constraint. Bank a couple of minutes, flag the two questions you were torn on, and spend your remaining time there instead of agonizing in the moment.

• Question-level adaptive: the next question depends on your last answer
• No skipping and no going back while the section is running
• Up to three answer changes per section, only if time is left over
• Bookmark aggressively; it costs nothing and focuses your review

GMAC is launching a GMAT Superscore in early August 2026, calculated automatically from your highest section scores across all valid attempts and reported alongside your official scores. That matters for planning, because it means a lopsided test day is less costly than it used to be. If your Quant held up and Data Insights collapsed, a focused retake on the weak section can lift the number a school sees without you needing to hold all three together on one morning. Scores stay valid for five years and you can test up to five times in a rolling 12-month period, with at least 16 days between attempts.

• Superscore arrives in early August 2026, computed from your best section scores
• Five attempts per rolling 12 months, minimum 16 days apart
• Scores are valid for five years
• The exam costs $275 at a test center or $300 online in the US
