GMAT Focus Edition — the test sponsor practice for the Graduate Management Admission Test
GMAT Focus Edition is the Graduate Management Admission Test. the test sponsor writes the outline; a fail is another sitting fee and a delayed start, not a school-curve disappointment. Related CoStudy banks (gre, lsat, mcat) test different sittings — using one as a stand-in for GMAT Focus Edition is how people fail the appointment they paid for.
CoStudy’s GMAT Focus Edition bank holds 80 multiple-choice questions and 125 flashcards. The published material this bank is written against begins: GMAC GMAT Focus Edition (current 2024+) — 2h 15m exam, three scored sections: 1) Quantitative Reasoning (arithmetic, algebra, problem-solving only — no geometry), 2) Verbal Reasoning (Reading Comprehension + Critical Reasoning only — Sentence Correction removed), 3) Data… Every multiple-choice item on this page shows the full rationale in the HTML.

How this bank is different
- GMAT Focus Edition is a reasoning test for a professional-school gate, not a content dump from undergrad.
- Wrong answers are usually valid-looking arguments with one broken inference.
- Section banks are not the whole exam. Practise the section you are actually seated for.
Exam format and blueprint
GMAC GMAT Focus Edition (current 2024+) — 2h 15m exam, three scored sections: 1) Quantitative Reasoning (arithmetic, algebra, problem-solving only — no geometry), 2) Verbal Reasoning (Reading Comprehension + Critical Reasoning only — Sentence Correction removed), 3) Data Insights (data sufficiency + integrated/graphical reasoning).

Study timeline
Rotate mixed sets so one topic cannot hide. A blended percentage hides the chapter that will fail you.
Six-week GMAT Focus Edition block — 10–14 hours/week
Weeks 1–4: mixed practice with an error log. Week 5: only the item types you miss. Week 6: timed full-length sittings. Do not add a second exam’s outline in the last ten days.
Twelve-week working-hours plan — 6–8 hours/week
Two or three evenings and one weekend block. Keep a written error log keyed to chapters, not to “I was tired.” The last fourteen days are timing and weak-chapter repair only. If you are also sitting a related exam (gre), do not merge the decks.
Free GMAT Focus Edition practice questions
A sample of 7 multiple-choice questions from the bank, with the full rationale shown.
The GMAT Focus Edition score is reported on:
- A 1–10 scale
- Pass/fail
- A total score on a 205–805 scale, with section scores from 60–90 — used by business schools as part of admissions decisions
- Only a school-specific letter grade
Answer: C — A total score on a 205–805 scale, with section scores from 60–90 — used by business schools as part of admissions decisions
C) Current scoring. A/B/D) Each is incorrect.
If 3x + 7 = 22, what is the value of x²?
- 5
- 15
- 25
- 49
- 75
Answer: C — 25
3x + 7 = 22 → 3x = 15 → x = 5. Then x² = 25. Answer C. GMAT often inserts a second step to discourage stopping at the linear solution.
GMAT Quant: A is 20% more than B. If B = 50, A =
- 60 (1.20 × 50)
- 70
- 30
- 100
- 25
Answer: A — 60 (1.20 × 50)
20% more than B = 1.20 × B = 1.20 × 50 = 60. Common trap: confusing 'A is 20% more than B' (A = 1.2B) with 'A is 20% of B' (A = 0.2B). Always identify base.
A two-axis chart shows monthly revenue vs. month for two product lines. Product A trended upward; Product B was flat. The TOTAL revenue trend is most likely:
- Decreasing
- Increasing
- Flat
- Cannot be determined from the description
- Cyclical
Answer: B — Increasing
If one line increases and the other is flat, the sum is increasing. B is correct. D would apply if both lines moved oppositely or magnitudes were unspecified, but here one is monotone-up and other is flat — sum is monotone-up.
GMAT Verbal: an idiom is BEST defined as:
- Random phrase
- Cliché
- Just a synonym
- Slang only
- A grammatical construction with a CONVENTIONAL form that may not follow strict grammatical rules ('different FROM' not 'different than'; 'consider X to be Y' or just 'consider X Y'); idioms tested in Sentence Correction
Answer: E — A grammatical construction with a CONVENTIONAL form that may not follow strict grammatical rules ('different FROM' not 'different than'; 'consider X to be Y' or just 'consider X Y'); idioms tested in Sentence Correction
GMAT idioms: 'between X and Y' (not 'between X to Y'), 'such as' (not 'like' for examples), 'compare X to Y' (similarities) vs 'compare X with Y' (analysis), 'either...or,' 'neither...nor,' 'not only...but also.' Memorize 50-100 idioms.
The GMAT differs from the GRE in that the GMAT is:
- Always shorter and free
- Always paper-based
- Designed specifically for business-school admissions, with Data Insights replacing GRE-like Quant — though many MBA programs now accept GRE scores as an alternative
- Identical to the GRE in format
Answer: C — Designed specifically for business-school admissions, with Data Insights replacing GRE-like Quant — though many MBA programs now accept GRE scores as an alternative
C) Standard comparison. A/B/D) Each is incorrect.
GMAT scores are reported in:
- Only letter grades
- Only pass/fail
- An old 200–800 scale only
- A unified scale with section scores and a total — used by business schools as one factor in admission, with school-specific median/average GMAT scores publicly reported
Answer: D — A unified scale with section scores and a total — used by business schools as one factor in admission, with school-specific median/average GMAT scores publicly reported
D) Defining usage. A/B/C) Each is incomplete.
GMAT Focus Edition flashcards
6 sample cards from the 125 in the bank.
Number line trap: 'integer x'. Could x be negative? Zero?
Yes! Always consider all valid integers (positive, negative, zero) unless restricted.
Pythagorean theorem?
a² + b² = c² for right triangle (c is hypotenuse).
Permutation formula P(n,k)?
n! / (n-k)!. Order matters.
Multiplying by 11 (2-digit)?
Add the two digits, place between them. 36 × 11 = 3_(3+6)_6 = 396.
Graphics Interpretation format?
Chart/graph + 2 fill-in-blank statements with dropdown answer choices.
Median of {2, 5, 7, 10}?
6 (average of middle two: (5+7)/2).
