Welcome to the "Best" Free GMAT Diagnostic Test - Evolving GMAT Club Community Project
Take Online | Download the Test | Download the Answer Sheet  Let's work together as a community to create world's best GMAT Diagnostic test by creating, refining, and improving diagnostic questions. We have started this project with the Quant section to help GMAT test takers understand their weaknesses better. The test is free - please take it. If you have any questions or suggestions - post them here. Also, the idea of the test is to improve it based on the feedback of the community - here is how you can share your thoughts:1. Rate questions using the STAR rating system - the ones that rank low will be gradually phased out 2. Provide verbal feedback by replying to this thread 3. Suggest question types to be included in this test - please provide examples if possible (we'll take care of creating the questions) 4. Finally - get others to take this test and provide their feedback Also see ranking of all questions on the same page here: listing-of-all-gmat-diagnostic-question-rankings-82058.htmlHow to use the Diagnostic Test - The Diagnostic Test is setup to allow you to test you as thoroughly or as quickly as you would prefer. The questions are arranged in sections in an increasing difficulty order - the first question is always 600-650 level, mid question is 700 level, and the last question is 750 level. If you are in a hurry, you can take either all easy or medium, or all hard questions only. Instead of 45 questions, you can only take 15 and leave the rest for later. Taking the testYou should spend a maximum of 90 minutes answering 45 questions or if you are taking fewer then plan to spend on average 2 minutes per question Where are the questions from? The questions have been developed by very experienced and high scoring GMAT Club members Are the questions copyrighted? Yes, but you can post and distribute them to benefit other test takers - please give credit to GMATClub for the hard work our members put into this test Edit: Revision History:

I've never taken the GMAT and I was looking for a diagnostic test. I found this one, but, as you know, it doesn't have the verbal portion of it. Also, I read on this thread that it is not recommended for first-timers, like me. I was considering taking the GMAT simply to assess where I was. However, at around $200 a pop, it made me reconsider. I remember that some of the books to study for the GMAT have tests, but I would like to take a computer-based test, as this is how the GMAT is actually administered. Can someone recommend one, if such a test is available? Free, of course, is always better, but, if I have to pay, I would do it--as long as it's not $200!! Thank you all.
By the way, bb, this is a great resource you've provided. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to GMAT Club! Here's a thread with reviews of different computer-based adaptive and non-adaptive Tests that you might want to use: all-gmat-cat-practice-tests-links-prices-reviews-77460.htmlIf you decide to use GMAT Prep, be sure to use it carefully and save one test for later as GMAT Prep is the best predictor of GMAT score. You'll be able to read more about it in the thread above. Have a good prep time! macandal wrote: I've never taken the GMAT and I was looking for a diagnostic test.

Have a good prep time! Thanks, dzyubam. Now, I'm planning on taking the GMAT/applying for an MBA next year, for the Fall of 2011. Do you think it's a good idea to use one of those tests right now? I just want to know where I am, how well (or bad) I fare, etc. Thanks.

Hi,
I took the GMAT recently and received a score of 730. Your math test was very helpful in preparing me for the real thing. Kudos to all of you for putting together such a (dare I say it) beautiful array of math questions that was key to helping me perform so well.
Unfortunately, I am not that good at writing math questions! But I will submit at least a few verbal questions you guys can use later on. This is my own small way of giving back;

I am about 2 months preparing into GMAT and took this test today. Surprisngly I find my errors are mostly on questions at 600-650 level and most of the 700/750 ones are correct. Is there anything to interpret, like taking easy questions too lightly and missing some details?

I think you should give the questions you got wrong a closer inspection. If it was a careless mistake, you might be taking easy questions too lightly. If an error had to do with a concept tested in the question, you'll have to review that specific concept. It's also a good idea to use an Error log (if you are not using one yet). siddhartho wrote: I am about 2 months preparing into GMAT and took this test today.
