Here is a good, Free source of GMAT questions
The Veritas prep question bank

Here is a link to the Beat the GMAT review of the Veritas Question Bank (it received a 10/10 rating) https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2014/02/ ... stion-bank

And here is the link to the question bank:
https://www.veritasprep.com/gmat-question-bank/



As far as paid sources I would definitly look for the official GMAT questions that have been released. These are available in the various "Official Guide" books such as Official Guide for GMAT Review 2015 and the Verbal Review 2nd edition. There are also great questions in the GMATPrep add-on called Prep Pack 1.

Beat the GMAT is a fine source but just understand that the quality of the questions varies widely and you have to be ready to decide that some questions are just flawed or may have even been typed in wrong!

Hi RiyaR,

If you have not yet purchased the OG13 (or the GMAT2015, they're the same book), then you should do so. For additional Verbal practice (including CR), there is also the GMAC Subject-Specific Verbal book.

Beyond the need for practice questions though, there's also a need for proper tactics. If you're not learning a methodology for how to consistently approach a major question type (such as CR), then you might not be prepping in the most efficient way possible.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
