Free 7-day trial
Free GMAT Practice Questions, Built for the Focus Edition
Zakarian GMAT starts every new account with a free 7-day full-access trial, which means the whole platform — including a large bank of free GMAT practice questions — is open with no credit card and no catch. These are original questions modeled on the GMAT Focus Edition format across Quant, Verbal, and Data Insights, not official GMAC questions.
This page is honest about what “free” actually means here, what the question bank covers, and how to turn raw practice into real progress. Volume by itself just repeats your mistakes; the point is to practice in a system that helps you catch and fix them.

A shirt originally priced at $80 is discounted by 15%. What is the sale price of the shirt?
- A)$12
- B)$65
- C)$68
- D)$72
- E)$76
Show the answer
Answer: C
A 15% discount means you pay 85% of the price: 0.85 × $80 = $68. The trap is A — $12 is the discount itself, not the sale price. On the real exam that trap costs more than the hard questions do.
A regional grocery chain recently introduced a loyalty program that offers customers a 5% discount on every purchase after their tenth visit. Since the program launched three months ago, the chain's overall revenue has increased by 8%. The chain's management concludes that the loyalty program is responsible for the revenue increase. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?
- A)The grocery chain spent a significant amount on advertising the loyalty program during the three-month period.
- B)A competing grocery chain in the same region that did not introduce a loyalty program experienced a 2% decline in revenue over the same period.
- C)Most of the chain's customers were already shopping there more than ten times per quarter before the program was introduced.
- D)The average transaction size at the chain has remained the same since the loyalty program began.
- E)The chain also expanded its organic produce section at the same time as launching the loyalty program.
Show the answer
Answer: B
The conclusion is causal, so the strengthener must rule out the biggest alternative explanation — that the whole market simply grew. B does exactly that: a comparable competitor without the program lost revenue over the same period. A and E introduce competing causes; C actively weakens.
What is the value of x?
(1) 3x + 7 = 22
(2) x is a positive integer less than 10.
- A)Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
- B)Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
- C)BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
- D)EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
- E)Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Show the answer
Answer: A
Sufficient means it pins x to exactly one value. Statement (1) is one linear equation in one unknown: x = 5 — sufficient alone. Statement (2) allows any of 1 through 9 — not sufficient. You never need to solve further once (1) is settled.

How to get real value from free questions
It’s tempting to treat free GMAT practice questions as a numbers game — grind hundreds of items and assume the score follows. It usually doesn’t. Doing more questions without changing how you study tends to bake in the same errors at a faster pace.
The lever is review, not volume. Every miss carries information: did you misread the prompt, run out of time, pick a careless answer, or simply not know the concept? Tagging that honestly is where the improvement actually comes from.
- Review every question you miss, and every one you got right but weren’t sure about
- Tag the reason using a fixed set of categories so patterns become visible over weeks
- Re-attempt the underlying idea later, from memory, instead of re-reading the explanation and moving on
A handful of questions reviewed this way beats a hundred rushed and forgotten.
What the question bank covers
The bank spans all three scored sections of the GMAT Focus Edition. Quant focuses on problem-solving. Verbal is Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. Data Insights covers Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, and Two-Part Analysis — the same structure you’ll meet on test day.
The items range across topics and difficulty levels, so you can drill a single weak area or work across a section. Because the platform tracks your accuracy by topic and by difficulty, you can see where your practice is paying off and where it isn’t.
- Quant: problem-solving across arithmetic, algebra, word problems, and more
- Verbal: Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension question types
- Data Insights: all five Data Insights formats, with a range of difficulty
The goal is breadth plus the ability to zoom in, so practice maps onto how the real exam is actually built.
Honest expectations about original questions
These are original questions written to mirror the style, formats, and reasoning demands of the GMAT Focus Edition. They are not official GMAC questions, and Zakarian GMAT is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by GMAC. That distinction matters, so we say it plainly.
Original practice is excellent for building skills and reps. But for your true baseline and a realistic read on where you stand, take one of the official mba.com practice exams. Those are the real thing, and the platform is designed to build your study plan around that official baseline rather than guess at it.
How the platform turns free practice into progress
Practice questions are the input; the system around them is what compounds. When you miss a question, it goes into your error log with one of six tags — Conceptual, Careless, Time Pressure, Misread, Strategy, or Other — so you’re not just collecting wrong answers, you’re collecting reasons.
From there, items feed a daily spaced-review queue that resurfaces them on a same-day, then 2-, 7-, 21-, and 42-day rhythm, so the concepts you got wrong come back exactly when you’re about to forget them. Your official mba.com baseline shapes an adaptive study plan, and per-topic and per-difficulty analytics show whether the work is moving the right numbers. The questions are free on your trial; the structure is what makes them count.
