GRE Math Practice Test II
"The Adaptive Test"
P. 1 (Problems 1 - 9)


WTAMU > Virtual Math Lab > GRE Math



desk Introduction



If this is your first visit to our website, please read the disclaimer.

Because of the enormity of this part, I split the adaptive test into three pages.  This page, P. 1, has the questions to all levels of the first 9 problems. P. 2 has the questions to all levels of problems 10 - 19. P. 3 has the questions to all levels of problems 20 - 28.

As you click on the links for this test, it will take you to the next page at the appropriate time.

Printing warning: Note that because of all of the levels per problem, there are a lot of questions on this page.  So if you wish to print this out, note that there will be a lot of pages to print.



THE REAL GRE TEST THAT YOU WILL BE TAKING ON THE COMPUTER IS AN ADAPTIVE TEST:   

Adaptive means that the level of the questions that you get are dependent on if you answer previous questions correctly or not.  The higher the level of question the higher the overall weight that problem has. 

Also note that the design of the test is different from this practice test.  All the problems on this test are on the same page, though as you click on your answer, it will bring you to the appropriate next problem.  On the GRE test you will be taking, one problem at a time will appear on your computer screen.  When a problem appears, you will click on the answer at which point it proceeds to the next problem.



HOW IS THE PRACTICE TEST ON THIS PAGE SET UP?:


IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST VISIT TO THIS WEBPAGE, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS SECTION!!


This test is set up like an adaptive test.  When you click on the letter of the answer of your choice it will bring you to the appropriate level of the next question based on the correctness of that choice. 

Each problem will have a two digit number.  The first digit is the problem number.  The second digit is the level number.  For example, if you see 10 - 3, this is problem 10, level 3. 

The levels indicate the hardness of  a problem.  There are five levels, 1 - 5, with 1 being the easiest and 5 being the hardest. 

As you go through the test, note that your answers ARE NOT being recorded. On a piece of paper, you need to write down the two digit number and the answer to each problem you do. 

There are 28 questions to the test and all levels of the adaptive test are on this webpage.  I did that so that it would make it easier for you to print the questions out if you desire.  Just note that when you take the test, you will be clicking on your answer and that you will only be answering one level per question, for a total of 28 questions. 

Printing warning: Note that because of all of the levels per problem, there are a lot of questions on this page.  So if you wish to print this out, note that there will be a lot of pages to print.



HOW TO EFFECTIVELY USE THIS WEBPAGE:


On a piece of paper keep track of your answers to this test. Make sure you mark down the problem number and the level number with your answer. Note that even though you are clicking on your answers, they are not being recorded.

You have 45 minutes to take the quantitative section of the real test, so to get the most out of this you may want to time yourself at 45 minutes to see how you do against the clock. 

You DO NOT get formulas on the actual test, so practice it that way.

You CANNOT use a calculator on the real test, so practice it that way

You can use scratch paper on the actual test, so by all means practice it that way. 

Check your answers.  At the end of the test you will see a link to an answer key and an answer key with explanations.  When you get to answer key with explanations page it will have links to the mathematical area(s) that each question comes from in case you need to go back and review.  Note that if you ended up with mostly level 4 or 5 questions you are on the right track.  If you ended up with mostly level 1, 2, or 3 questions you need to go back and review.
