Sample GMAT Quantitative Reasoning Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the GMAT Quantitative Reasoning exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 112+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1If x/4 + x/6 = 5, what is the value of x?
A.10
B.12
C.15
D.18
Explanation: Find a common denominator: x/4 + x/6 = 3x/12 + 2x/12 = 5x/12 = 5. Multiply both sides by 12/5: x = 12.
2A store sells a jacket for $120, which is 20% more than the store paid for it. How much did the store pay for the jacket?
A.$96
B.$100
C.$102
D.$104
Explanation: If the store paid p, then p × 1.20 = 120. Dividing: p = 120/1.20 = 100. The store paid $100.
3What is the value of 2^10 / 2^7?
A.2
B.4
C.8
D.16
Explanation: 2^10 / 2^7 = 2^(10-7) = 2^3 = 8. When dividing same-base exponentials, subtract exponents.
4If 3 workers can complete a task in 12 days, how many days will 9 workers take to complete the same task (assuming all workers work at the same rate)?
A.3
B.4
C.6
D.9
Explanation: Total work = 3 × 12 = 36 worker-days. With 9 workers: 36/9 = 4 days.
5The average (arithmetic mean) of 5 numbers is 18. If four of the numbers are 14, 16, 22, and 24, what is the fifth number?
A.10
B.12
C.14
D.16
Explanation: Sum of all 5 numbers = 5 × 18 = 90. Sum of the four known numbers = 14+16+22+24 = 76. Fifth number = 90 - 76 = 14.
6If x² - 9 = 0, which of the following gives ALL solutions for x?
A.x = 3 only
B.x = -3 only
C.x = 3 or x = -3
D.x = 9 or x = -9
Explanation: x² = 9 → x = ±√9 = ±3. Both positive and negative roots satisfy the equation.
7A train travels 240 miles in 4 hours. At this rate, how many miles will it travel in 7 hours?
A.360
B.400
C.420
D.480
Explanation: Speed = 240/4 = 60 miles per hour. In 7 hours: 60 × 7 = 420 miles.
8Which of the following is NOT a prime number?
A.17
B.23
C.51
D.71
Explanation: 51 = 3 × 17, so it is composite. 17, 23, and 71 are all prime (not divisible by any integer other than 1 and themselves).
9If 5x - 3 = 2x + 12, what is the value of x?
A.3
B.5
C.7
D.9
Explanation: 5x - 2x = 12 + 3 → 3x = 15 → x = 5.
10A bag contains 4 red marbles, 6 blue marbles, and 2 green marbles. If one marble is selected at random, what is the probability it is blue?
A.1/3
B.1/2
C.7/12
D.2/3
Explanation: Total marbles = 4 + 6 + 2 = 12. P(blue) = 6/12 = 1/2.

About the GMAT Quantitative Reasoning Exam

The GMAT Quantitative Reasoning section consists of 21 Problem Solving questions to be completed in 45 minutes without a calculator. Unlike the classic GMAT, the current GMAT removes geometry entirely and moves Data Sufficiency to the Data Insights section — leaving Quant focused on arithmetic, algebra, word problems, number properties, and statistics.

GMAT Quantitative Reasoning: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master the four arithmetic operations on fractions and percentages without a calculator — most GMAT quant mistakes happen at the arithmetic step, not the setup.
2Memorize key number theory facts: divisibility rules for 2, 3, 4, 6, 9; prime numbers up to 50; perfect squares and cubes up to 15.
3For word problems, translate every sentence into a variable or equation before calculating — don't let the story fool you into skipping the setup.
4Practice the difference-of-squares, perfect-square trinomial, and sum/difference of cubes factoring patterns until they are automatic — they appear often.
5Time yourself strictly: 21 questions in 45 minutes means ~2 minutes each. If a problem takes more than 3 minutes, make your best guess and move on — you can flag it for review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a calculator allowed on the GMAT Quantitative Reasoning section?

No. No calculator is allowed on the Quantitative Reasoning section. A basic on-screen calculator is only available for the Data Insights section. Strong mental math and estimation skills are essential.

How is the GMAT Quantitative Reasoning content outline weighted?

GMAC does not publish percentage weights for the Quantitative Reasoning content areas. The official outline is the four-part Math Review in the GMAT Official Guide Quantitative Review: Value, Order and Factors; Algebra, Equalities and Inequalities; Rates, Ratios and Percents; and Statistics, Sets, Counting, Probability, Estimation and Series. Any percentage split you see on a prep site is that vendor's estimate, not a GMAC figure.

Is geometry tested on the GMAT Quantitative section?

Euclidean geometry (angles, triangles, circles, area/volume) has been completely removed from the current GMAT Quant section. Coordinate geometry concepts — slopes, equations of lines, and x-y coordinates — are retained and classified under algebra.

What happened to Data Sufficiency on the GMAT?

Data Sufficiency was moved from the Quantitative Reasoning section to the Data Insights section in the current GMAT. The Quant section now contains only Problem Solving (multiple-choice) questions.

How many questions and how much time is on the GMAT Quant section?

The GMAT Quantitative section has 21 questions with a 45-minute time limit, giving approximately about 2 minutes 9 seconds per question. The exam is computer-adaptive, so difficulty adjusts based on your performance.

What score do I need on the GMAT Quant section for a top MBA program?

There is no pass/fail cut score. Each GMAT section, including Quantitative Reasoning, is scored from 60 to 90 in 1-point increments (GMAC Official Guide Quantitative Review 2026–2027). The three section scores are equally weighted into the total 205–805 score. Programs publish class averages, not minimums; compare your percentile on mba.com/scores to each school's latest reported range.

Can I review and change answers on the GMAT?

Yes — the GMAT introduced a 'Review and Edit' feature that allows you to bookmark questions and change up to 3 answers per section. This is a significant change from the classic GMAT where no changes were allowed.
