GMAT Readiness Test

10 questions, balanced across the exam's topics. Answer each one, then submit for your practice readiness estimate and per-topic breakdown. This is a practice estimate — not a prediction or guarantee of your official exam result.

Question 1

Read the following passage and answer the question. A single metallic asteroid can hold more platinum than has ever been mined on Earth, and entrepreneurs have noticed. Startups propose prospecting near-Earth asteroids, extracting water for rocket fuel and precious metals for terrestrial markets. The economics, however, are forbidding. Launch costs, though falling, remain enormous; refining ore in microgravity is unproven; and flooding markets with space platinum would crash the very prices that justify the venture. Legal frameworks are equally murky: the 1967 Outer Space Treaty bars national appropriation of celestial bodies but is silent on private extraction. For now, asteroid mining remains an alluring spreadsheet exercise awaiting its first real balance sheet. The passage suggests that successful platinum extraction could undermine itself because

treaties ban sales asteroids are rare platinum is useless refining is proven increased supply would depress prices
