GRE General Test sample questions

A few real GRE General Test questions with answers and step-by-step solutions, in the exact style of the full mock tests.

Verbal ReasoningSample 1

Which word best completes the text? "The claim was ___, based on a forged document."

  • A.obsequious
  • B.spurious
  • C.succinct
  • D.credulous

Solution: "spurious" means false or fake, which is exactly what the context describes.

Quantitative ReasoningSample 2

x > 0 Quantity A: x² Quantity B: x

  • A.Quantity A is greater.
  • B.Quantity B is greater.
  • C.The two quantities are equal.
  • D.The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Solution: If x = 1/2, x² < x; if x = 2, x² > x; if x = 1 they are equal — not determinable.

About the GRE General Test exam

Admission to master's, MBA, specialised master's and doctoral programmes at universities and business schools worldwide.

About the GRE

The GRE General Test measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing. Since September 2023 it has been a shorter, roughly two-hour test with one essay.

Many programmes accept either the GRE or the GMAT; check each programme's requirements.

How these mocks help

Twenty full Verbal + Quant mocks follow the official question counts, with a large share of Quantitative Comparison and computed problems. Every question has a worked solution, and no question repeats across the twenty mocks.

The GRE General Test takes about 1 hour 58 minutes: one Analytical Writing task (30 minutes), two Verbal Reasoning sections (12 questions in 18 minutes and 15 in 23 minutes) and two Quantitative Reasoning sections (12 questions in 21 minutes and 15 in 26 minutes). Verbal and Quant are section-level adaptive and scored 130–170; there is no penalty for wrong answers. These mocks cover the 54 Verbal and Quant questions in 88 minutes, including Quantitative Comparison. Verbal practice here is sentence-level — text completion, vocabulary in context, grammar, transitions and logic — rather than long reading passages, which are not yet included.

Duration: 88 minutes (Verbal + Quant).

The first 12 weeks

A plan a fresher can actually follow

  1. Month 1

    Understand the paper and build your base

    Read the official pattern first, then make a realistic subject map for 2 subjects. Begin with Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning. Focus on concepts before speed.

    Take one diagnostic topic test. Its purpose is to find gaps, not to judge your score.
  2. Month 2

    Finish the core syllabus through practice

    Cover the remaining syllabus, while revising Month 1 every week. Move from untimed questions to short timed sets.

    Keep a single error log: concept missed, why it happened and the correct method.
  3. Month 3

    Build exam temperament with mocks

    Use the real exam time limit (88 minutes (Verbal + Quant)) in full-length practice. Review every mock longer than it took to attempt it; the review is where improvement happens.

    Turn each weak area from your error log into a 30–45 minute repair session.

Your repeatable week

The study loop that makes revision stick

  1. 1
    Learn

    Read one focused concept block and make a short revision sheet.

  2. 2
    Solve

    Immediately answer topic questions; do not wait until you have ‘finished’ the syllabus.

  3. 3
    Review

    Log mistakes by concept, not just by score. Revisit them after 2–3 days.

  4. 4
    Simulate

    Use a timed section or mock to practise decisions under the clock.

Mock-test ladder

Don’t start with a full mock every day

  • Month 1: topic tests after each completed concept.
  • Month 2: one timed sectional test each week, plus error-log revision.
  • Month 3: one or two full mocks weekly under the real 88 minutes (Verbal + Quant) clock.

GRE General Test-specific priorities

What to focus on as you move through the plan

  1. 1

    Master Quantitative Comparison

    About a third of Quant questions compare two quantities. Learn to test special values (0, 1, negatives, fractions) quickly.

  2. 2

    Build vocabulary in context

    Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence reward knowing precise meanings. Learn words with example sentences, not word lists alone.

  3. 3

    Pace each section

    Under two minutes per question: answer what you can, flag the rest and return.

Final 7 days

Revise your short notes and error log; do not begin major new topics.

Take only the number of mocks you can properly review; protect sleep and routine.

Confirm the official admit-card instructions, reporting time, centre and permitted items.
