Note: GMAT Quant questions cover Problem Solving, and so much more. To get more math practice, try our free GMAT practice test with accurate score prediction and subject-by-subject performance breakdown.
On the GMAT Quantitative section, the Problem Solving questions are just the familiar five-choice multiple choice math problems you have seen on every standardized test since well before puberty. Here, you have discovered a veritable treasure chest of Problem Solving sample questions.
Below is a link to thirty-two different articles on this blog, each with at least two Problem Solving questions. The sample GMAT Problem Solving questions are often at the top of the article, although sometimes they are further down in the text. The total number of sample Problem Solving problems available from this page is far more than 37, the total number of math questions you will see on a full Quantitative section of the GMAT.
In each blog, the solutions & explanations to the sample questions are at the ends of the articles. (If the topic is less than crystal clear for you, you may find the article itself enlightening.)
