GMAT Sample Papers: Download GMAT Question Papers with Solutions

GMAT question papers are one of the most effective ways to prepare for the exam. Practising with real-format questions helps you understand the exam pattern, manage time across sections, and identify exactly where you need to improve before test day.

In this guide, you can download GMAT question paper PDFs for all three sections of the GMAT Focus Edition: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Insights, and start practising right away.

Key Highlights:

• The GMAT Quantitative Reasoning section includes only Problem Solving questions, with topics limited to Arithmetic and Algebra; Geometry has been removed.
• GMAT Verbal Reasoning tests Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning; Sentence Correction is no longer part of the GMAT.
• Data Insights is a core GMAT section that replaces Integrated Reasoning and includes Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, and Two-Part Analysis.
• The GMAT score ranges from 205 to 805, with each of these sections contributing equally to the final score.

GMAT Verbal Reasoning Sample Papers

The verbal reasoning section for GMAT evaluates your ability to read, comprehend/ infer, and critically evaluate passages. It consists of 23 questions that you have to cover within 45 minutes. Since this section is adaptive, the difficulty of the question will depend on your performance on the previous questions. 

A good way to prepare for the GMAT verbal section is to brush up on your grammar knowledge and critical reasoning skills. 

Below, we've added GMAT sample papers for the Verbal Reasoning section:

GMAT Quantitative Reasoning Sample Papers

The GMAT Quantitative Reasoning section assesses your ability to solve mathematical problems and interpret graphic data. It has 21 questions, and you need to solve them within 45 minutes. 

Master the basics like traditional math problems, including arithmetic, algebra, and word problems. Pay close attention to data sufficiency questions, because they might be tricky.

GMAT Data Insights Sample Papers

Since Data Insights is a newly introduced section in the GMAT Focus Edition, dedicated previous year papers are not yet widely available.

Below we've listed GMAT sample questions for Data Insights section to help you understand the format and question types in this section.

Question 1: Data Sufficiency

A company's total monthly expenses are shared across three departments: Sales, Operations, and HR. What is the monthly expenditure of the HR department?

Statement 1: The combined expenditure of Sales and Operations is INR 9,00,000. Statement 2: Total monthly expenses of the company are INR 12,00,000.

Answer Options:
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 alone is sufficient.
D. Each statement alone is sufficient. E. Both statements together are not sufficient.

Answer: C

Explanation: Statement 1 alone tells you Sales plus Operations equals INR 9,00,000 but gives no total, so HR cannot be determined. Statement 2 alone gives the total but no breakdown between departments. Together: HR = Total minus (Sales plus Operations) = 12,00,000 minus 9,00,000 = INR 3,00,000. Both statements together are sufficient.

Question 2: Table Analysis

The table below shows data on agricultural commodities for a country in a given year.

For each statement, select Yes if it can be shown to be true based on the table. Otherwise, select No.

Statements:

A. No individual country produces more than one-third of the world's coffee.
B. For every commodity where this country ranks first in exports, it also ranks first in production.

Answer:

Statement A: No. The table shows this country alone produces 40% of the world's coffee, which is already more than one-third (33%). So the statement is false.
Statement B: Yes. For every commodity where this country ranks first in exports (Coffee and Sugar), it also ranks first in production.

GMAT Sample Questions: Quantitative Reasoning

The Quantitative Reasoning section tests problem-solving skills using arithmetic, algebra, and logical reasoning. These questions focus on solving numerical problems efficiently and accurately under time pressure.

Question 1

The City Opera House occupies a rectangular building with a total volume of 9,600 cubic feet. If the expanded Opera House is 2.5 times as long, wide, and deep as the original building, what will be the new volume?

Answer:
150,000 cubic feet

Explanation:
When each dimension increases by a factor of 2.5, volume increases by 2.5³ = 15.625.
9,600 × 15.625 = 150,000 cubic feet.

Question 2

In a university club of 200 members, the number of Political Science majors is 50 less than four times the number of International Relations majors. One-fifth of the members are in neither major, and no member is enrolled in both majors. How many members are International Relations majors?

Answer:
42

Explanation:
One-fifth of 200 equals 40 members who are neither major.
Remaining members = 200 − 40 = 160.
Let International Relations majors be x.
Political Science majors = 4x − 50.
x + (4x − 50) = 160
5x = 210
x = 42.

GMAT Sample Questions: Verbal Reasoning

The Verbal Reasoning section evaluates reading comprehension, grammar, and critical thinking. It includes Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning questions.

Passage

The study of cetacean intelligence has expanded our understanding of dolphin behaviour. Although dolphins are widely regarded as intelligent animals, researchers have not reached definitive conclusions about the full extent of their intelligence. However, scientists do understand how dolphins communicate and behave in groups.

Dolphins produce two main types of sounds: clicks and whistles. Clicks are primarily used for echolocation, helping dolphins navigate and locate objects. Whistles are used for communication, including contact calls between individuals. Research also shows that dolphins rely on highly organised communication when responding to predators, allowing them to move together in near-unison.

Question 1

Based on the passage, dolphins primarily use clicks to:

Answer:
Locate objects and navigate their surroundings

Explanation:
The passage states that clicks are used for echolocation, which allows dolphins to understand their environment.

Question 2

What is the primary purpose of the passage?

Answer:
To explain how dolphins communicate and coordinate their behaviour

Explanation:
The passage introduces dolphin intelligence and focuses on communication methods and group behaviour rather than comparison or evaluation.

From the Desk of Yocket

Most students make the same mistake with GMAT question papers: they solve them, check the score, and move on. That is not preparation, that is just practice without learning. The real value of a sample paper is in reviewing every question you got wrong, understanding why the correct answer works, and tracking which question types trip you up repeatedly. A student who solves five papers with deep review will almost always outperform one who rushes through twenty without analysing mistakes.

If you want that structured approach built into your preparation, Yocket Prep offers section-wise practice, performance tracking, and guided review so your effort actually translates into score improvement.
