Timing: Single composite 35-minute timer for both question types combined: no sectional lock. This is a TakeMockTest-defined fixed-form timing for this narrower practice set, not a replica of the official section-adaptive timing.

The official GRE Quantitative Reasoning measure has two section-adaptive sections (12 questions in 21 minutes, then 15 questions in 26 minutes, section 2's difficulty depending on section 1 performance), 27 questions in 47 minutes total, and mixes four question formats: Quantitative Comparison (always the same 4 fixed answer choices), Multiple Choice: Select One Answer Choice (5 answer choices), Multiple Choice: Select One or More Answer Choices, and Numeric Entry. This practice mock covers only Quantitative Comparison and Numeric Entry, the two formats that fit this site's multiple-choice/typed-answer engine cleanly; the 5-choice select-one and select-one-or-more formats, and Data Interpretation sets built on shared data, are not included. There is no negative marking. This mock shows your raw score; the official test reports a scaled 130-170 section score instead.
