GRE practice test FAQs

Is this GRE practice test free?

Yes. Both section tests and the full-length test are free and need no account. After you submit, you see the right answer to every question with an explanation, plus a note on why the answer you chose is tempting.

How long is the GRE now?

Since September 2023 the GRE General Test takes about 1 hour 58 minutes: Verbal Reasoning (27 questions, 41 minutes), Quantitative Reasoning (27 questions, 47 minutes) and one 30-minute Analyze an Issue essay.

How is this different from the real GRE?

Our questions are all four-option multiple choice. The real test also has five-option questions, select-all questions, numeric entry and sentence equivalence where you pick two of six words (shown here as pairs). The real test is also section-adaptive, and it doesn't give you a 130–170 score here: we show your percentage correct by question type instead.

Can I use a calculator on the GRE?

Yes, an on-screen calculator is provided for the Quantitative Reasoning section. Many questions are still faster by estimation or reasoning.

Is there a GRE practice test PDF?

Our tests are interactive rather than PDF, so they can time you, score you instantly and explain each answer. The real GRE is taken on a computer, so practising on screen is good preparation.
