About the GMAT Assessment Test
The GMAT Assessment Test on Aptitude360 is a free GMAT Focus Edition practice test with 30 questions in 30 minutes. It is set at medium difficulty, close to a typical real-paper level. Each correct answer earns +1 and there is no negative marking. The real GMAT, by contrast, gives a scaled adaptive score. Every question is a multiple-choice question with five options, and the test is in English.
Test pattern and marking
- Quantitative Reasoning: 10 questions, 10 minutes, +1 per correct answer, no negative marking
- Verbal Reasoning: 10 questions, 10 minutes, +1 per correct answer, no negative marking
- Data Insights: 10 questions, 10 minutes, +1 per correct answer, no negative marking
Each section has its own timer, and the three section times add up to 30 minutes.
Topics covered
Quantitative Reasoning covers several areas:
- Linear equations and exponents
- Number properties and sequences
- Percentages, ratios and rates
- Mixtures, work and rate problems
- Counting and probability
- Statistics, including mean and median
Verbal Reasoning has two original GMAT-style reading passages of about 240 and 320 words on business, social science or science topics. These passages carry questions on primary purpose, application and inference. The section also has critical reasoning questions on assumption, strengthening, weakening, inference and evaluation.
Data Insights has all five real GMAT Data Insights question types, each labelled at the top of the question:
- Data Sufficiency (DS): five questions with statements (1) and (2) and the five standard GMAT answer choices
- Two-Part Analysis: one question with a selection for each of two columns
- Table Analysis: one question on a regional sales table
- Graphics Interpretation: one question on a bar chart of monthly sales
- Multi-Source Reasoning: two questions that combine the sales table with an email
The Data Sufficiency questions touch on algebra, number system, profit and discount, and time, speed and distance.
Every question shows its question type in square brackets at the top, for example [Data Sufficiency], [Multi-Source Reasoning], [Two-Part Analysis] and [Graphics Interpretation], so you can see which part of the real exam pattern each question follows.
Key formulas to revise
- AP nth term: \( a_{n} = a + (n-1)d \)
- AP sum: \( S_{n} = \dfrac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d) \)
- Two overlapping sets: \( n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) \)
- Square of a sum: \( (x + y)^{2} = x^{2} + 2xy + y^{2} \)
- Markup m%, then discount d%: \( SP = CP \times \dfrac{100+m}{100} \times \dfrac{100-d}{100} \)
- Average speed over two equal distances: \( \dfrac{2xy}{x+y} \)
Who should take this test
This test suits GMAT Focus Edition aspirants who want a quick, timed check across all three sections. It is also useful for students who want to practise working at roughly one minute per question.
