- Lesson 3 · About 4 minutes→
Use examples and totals
Review comparisons, averages, combinations and geometry.
- Lesson 4 · About 5 minutes→
Translate quantities into equations
Choose the correct base, unit and condition before calculating.
- Lesson 5 · About 5 minutes→
Use the conditions, not a first impression
Connect geometry, probability and data questions to a complete model.
- Lesson 6 · About 5 minutes→
Build the sample space before calculating
Choose the correct group, event and numerical bounds in probability and data questions.
- Lesson 7 · About 5 minutes→
Use cases to test what must be true
Distinguish a proof from an example and preserve sign, boundary and counting restrictions.
Start small. Focus. Then mix it up.
Each set has untimed practice or an optional practice timer, plus an explanation for every answer. Quant sets A and B have no questions in common and do not repeat the earlier starter or topic questions. Other sets can overlap.
Quick start
Four verbal and four quantitative questions. No scored essay, adaptive sections or complete selection of official response formats.

Open this set →6 questions · Optional 12 minBuild the sample space before calculating
Original short quantitative lesson. Its six companion questions reuse items from Quant practice sets A and B; they are not six additional unique questions or a new mock.
Open this set →8 questions · Optional 16 minUse cases to test what must be true
Original short quantitative lesson. Its eight companion questions reuse items from Quant practice sets A and B; they add no unique questions and are not a separate mock.
Open this set →These are not full GRE mocks and do not predict a GRE score. The official GRE adapts between sections; its second Quant section has 15 questions in 26 minutes. All results here are raw correct-answer counts, without official score conversion.
Where this fits.
Graduate applicants whose chosen programmes require or accept GRE General results. The separate GRE Subject Tests are not represented by this bank.
The current General Test lasts about 1 hour 58 minutes: one 30-minute Analytical Writing task; two Verbal sections with 12/15 questions in 18/23 minutes; and two Quantitative sections with 12/15 questions in 21/26 minutes. Verbal and Quantitative use section-level adaptation.
- Verbal: understand and evaluate text, infer meaning and interpret relationships among words and ideas.
- Quantitative: arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis.
- Analytical Writing assesses reasoned written argument and requires separate evaluation.
Structure and Quant response formats checked 7 October 2026. The 2026–27 policy bulletin was separately checked on 29 September; registration fees and live appointments were not rechecked in this update.
