G-Research Online Quant Quiz - Timed Practice

G-Research practice based on its published 2020 preparation guidance: eight shorter questions and one longer question, 90 minutes total. Outcry adapts the section clocks and Part B selection; this is a historical model, not a verified current screen.

Format and scoring below apply to this Outcry mock. See the source check for verified firm details and practice adaptations.
Marking on Part A: +2 correct, 0 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question.
Marking on Part B: +9 correct, 0 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question.
No going back in this mock. Answer or skip, and the next item loads.
Questions are generated from Outcry's own banks; a retake changes the selection or parameters.

Sections

Part A - 8 items, 55 minutes, no negative marking. 8 compulsory questions in 55 minutes, 2 marks each. Five options apiece, across probability, OLS, linear algebra, differential equations, programming and finance.
Part B - 1 items, 35 minutes, no negative marking. One long question in 35 minutes, worth 9 marks. The 2020 guidance offered six choices; this Outcry mock serves one generated task without that selection.

What this practice sitting covers

2 sections, 9 items and 90 minutes of section time. Each section uses its own clock. Questions are generated from Outcry’s own banks; repeat attempts can share problem types with different selections or parameters.

How this mock is marked

Marking on Part A: +2 correct, 0 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question. Marking on Part B: +9 correct, 0 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question.

This mock has no back navigation: each submitted or skipped question is final.

Scores measure performance on these exercises. They are not a firm’s pass threshold or a prediction of an interview or offer.

Public sources and practice adaptations

A G-Research guidance PDF dated 2020 specifies eight compulsory Part A questions and one of six Part B questions in 90 minutes.

This mock is based on that historical structure, not a verified current format. Outcry fixes separate 55/35-minute clocks and serves one Part B task rather than offering six; our item weights and grading are practice settings.

Section by section, with a worked example

Every example below is generated by Outcry, drawn from the same generator that section runs during the timed sitting. None of it is G-Research's own material.

A. Part A

8 compulsory questions in 55 minutes, 2 marks each. Five options apiece, across probability, OLS, linear algebra, differential equations, programming and finance.

In this Outcry section: 8 items in 55 minutes, averaging 413 seconds per item. Wrong answers receive no marks and carry no deduction. Unanswered items score zero. Correct-answer weights are shown on the questions. These are the mock’s rules.

Example 1

A fund returns 1.6% a month, compounded monthly. What is the return over twelve months?

21.17%
20.98%
119.2%
19.2%
120.98%

Answer 20.98%

(1 + 0.016)^12 = 1.2098, so the return is 20.98%. Twelve times the monthly rate is 19.2%, which misses the compounding.

Example 2

A tank is filled at 10 litres a minute and leaks at 0.3 times the volume it holds, in litres a minute. It starts empty. How much is in it after 4 minutes?

33.33 litres
8.64 litres
40 litres
23.29 litres
10.04 litres

Answer 23.29 litres

dV/dt = 10 − 0.3V, so V(t) = (10/0.3)(1 − e^(−0.3t)) = 33.33(1 − e^(−1.2)) = 23.29 litres. The steady state 33.33 is where it ends up, not where it is at t = 4.

B. Part B

One long question in 35 minutes, worth 9 marks. The 2020 guidance offered six choices; this Outcry mock serves one generated task without that selection.

In this Outcry section: 1 items in 35 minutes, averaging 2100 seconds per item. Wrong answers receive no marks and carry no deduction. Unanswered items score zero. Correct-answer weights are shown on the questions. These are the mock’s rules.

Example 1

A population follows dP/dt = 0.3P(1 − P/1000) with P(0) = 100, where t is in days. How many days pass before it reaches 500?

Answer 7.324081924454066

The logistic solution is P(t) = 1,000/(1 + Ae^(−0.3t)) with A = (1,000 − 100)/100 = 9. Setting P = 500 gives e^(−0.3t) = (1/0.5 − 1)/9, so t = ln(9 × 0.5/0.5)/0.3 = 2.1972/0.3 = 7.324.

Example 2

y satisfies y'' + 8y' + 15y = 0 with y(0) = 5 and y'(0) = -9. What is y at t = 2?

Answer 0.019693817624043413

The characteristic equation r² + 8r + 15 = 0 has roots -3 and -5, so y = C₁e^(-3t) + C₂e^(-5t). The initial conditions give C₁ + C₂ = 5 and -3C₁ - 5C₂ = -9, so C₁ = 8 and C₂ = -3. At t = 2: 8 × 0.00248 - 3 × 0.00005 = 0.0197.
