- Read the worked solution for every question you missed — and for any you got right by guessing.
- Redo the missed questions a few days later without looking at the solutions.
- Finish with all sections back to back to practise your stamina and pacing.
How the real GRE is scored
The real GRE reports Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning from 130 to 170 in one-point steps and Analytical Writing from 0 to 6 in half-point steps. This practice test shows how many questions you got right; it does not convert that to the 130–170 scale.
The real GRE is section-level adaptive: how you do on the first Verbal or Quant section sets the difficulty of the second. Here the second section of each measure is a fixed, harder set.
Format checked on ETS: GRE General Test structure on 1 October 2026. Always confirm dates and rules with ETS before you book.

Is this GRE practice test free?
Yes. Every section, the timer, your score and every worked solution are free, and you don't need an account.
How long does the full GRE practice test take?

Does my practice score convert to an official score?
