PrepScholar GRE Math Practice Questions

Good at math? Bad at math? Just OK at it? Whatever your comfort level with algebra and geometry, if you’re taking the GRE, you’ll need to know how to study for GRE math so that you can get the score you want. But where should you start?

Try PrepScholar's Math Practice Questions App! We draw from a bank of 100's of practice questions to give you a personalized 20-question quiz that covers all the most important question types on the GRE. At the end, we tell you your score and how you can improve!

On the GRE, you’ll have two 35-minute Quantitative Reasoning, or “Quant,” sections with 20 questions each. (You might also have a third experimental or research Quant section that does not count toward your final Quant score.)

Quant and Verbal sections are randomly ordered after Analytical Writing (AW), which always comes first. As a result, you could have two Quant sections in a row or a Quant section followed by a Verbal section (and so on).

During the GRE, you’ll have access to both scratch paper and an on-screen calculator, which contains basic functions such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square roots. You are not required to use the calculator for GRE math but may if you need to.

Once you finish the test, you’ll get to see your (unofficial) scores. Quant is scored the same way as Verbal: both sections use a scale of 130-170 in 1-point increments. Currently, the average Quant score is 153.

So what exactly is on Quant? The GRE math section tests your knowledge of four major topics: Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Data Analysis.

Thankfully, you won’t need to know any upper-level math concepts, such as trigonometry and calculus, since all that’s tested on the GRE is math you studied in middle school and high school.
