GRE mock tests are available online, in study materials, and through test preparation classes. Some mock tests are free, while other candidates might have to pay.
A mock test is designed to replicate the exam pattern, structure, and types of questions that will be on the actual test. Taking a mock test can help candidates become familiar with the test format and timing. It will also help them identify areas where they may need additional study or practice. It is recommended to take a mock test under the same conditions as the real test, like the timing and location, to help prepare them for the actual test day. Taking a mock test can also help them identify areas of strength and weakness, so they can focus on the areas where they need the most improvement.
