Sample GRE Practice Questions

Try these questions from our free GRE practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.

1. In a class of 36 students, 20 passed the math test, 18 passed the English test, and 8 passed both. How many students failed both tests? (A) 4 (B) 6 (C) 8 (D) 10

   • A. 4
   • B. 6
   • C. 8
   • D. 10

Answer: B. 6

Passed at least one = 20 + 18 − 8 = 30. Failed both = 36 − 30 = 6.

Answer: B. A single, narrowly-focused example is insufficient to address the complexity of the claim.

High-scoring "Analyze an Issue" essays demonstrate an understanding of the topic's complexity. Relying on a single example, no matter how well-explained, often fails to provide a comprehensive analysis. A stronger essay would either use multiple examples to support its point or, if using a single extended example, would also acknowledge and refute other perspectives, such as the role technology *did* play in that society.

Answer: B. Class B; variability 2.4 times greater

Standard deviation measures variability. Class B: SD=12; Class A: SD=5. 12/5 = 2.4. Class B had 2.4× greater variability.

Answer: D. It fails to take a clear, arguable position on the issue.

A strong thesis must state a clear and specific position. The example thesis is a statement of fact (the topic is complicated) rather than an arguable claim. It doesn't tell the reader what the author's actual argument will be. A better thesis would be, for example, "While some argue that government funding for the arts is a frivolous expense, it is a crucial investment in a nation's cultural identity and economic vitality."
