An independent, unofficial guide to the current GMAT Focus Edition format — not affiliated with or endorsed by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC).
Format last checked: August 2026. The GMAT Focus Edition (11th Edition) replaced the "Classic" GMAT in late 2023: the Analytical Writing Assessment (essay) was eliminated, Integrated Reasoning and Data Sufficiency were merged into a new Data Insights section, and Geometry and Sentence Correction were dropped from scope entirely. If you've seen older prep material describing a 3-hour, 4-section, 800-point-only exam, it's out of date.

How this platform's mock exam differs
To keep every question here 100% original (no GMAC material is reproduced anywhere on this site), the mock exam runs a 15-question Quant section, an 18-question Verbal section (10 Critical Reasoning + 2 Reading Comprehension passages), and a 12-question Data Insights section — shorter than the official 64-question count, but timed at the real 45 minutes per section, so your pacing practice is realistic. The official exam is also computer-adaptive (question difficulty shifts based on your answers); this mock exam uses a fixed question set instead, since true adaptivity requires a much larger item bank than a single original mock can responsibly provide. On the real exam you also choose your own section order and take one optional break; this mock runs a fixed order (Quant → Verbal → break → Data Insights) to keep the experience simple.
A note on scoring
The total score (205–805) shown after a mock exam is an illustrative estimate built from generally reported scaling patterns — it is not GMAC's official, adaptive scoring algorithm, which is proprietary and accounts for question difficulty, not just raw accuracy. Use it as a rough compass heading, not a guarantee.

Full Timed Mock Exam
Three sections, 45 minutes each, taken in order — the real GMAT lets you pick your own section order and break placement; this mock uses a fixed order to keep things simple.
Section 1 — Quantitative Reasoning (15 original questions, 45 min)
Section 2 — Verbal Reasoning (18 original questions, 45 min)
10-minute break (skippable in practice mode)
Section 3 — Data Insights (12 original questions, 45 min)
Once you start a section, the clock runs continuously and auto-submits when it hits zero. Explanations are withheld until you finish all three sections.
