Take a complete 80-question, 8-minute Optiver-style mental maths practice test. Correct answers gain a point and incorrect answers lose a point. Your free attempt uses the same fixed 80-question test each time. Upgrade to Premium for a fresh randomized 80 in 8 on every attempt, plus targeted Integer, Decimal, Fraction and Zen practice modes.
No account is needed to take the test. Create one afterwards to unlock detailed analytics and saved progress.
Drill integer addition, subtraction, multiplication and division separately from the full test. Targeted modes are included with Premium.
Premium attempts are tracked here over time.
Isolate decimal arithmetic and build the speed needed to handle awkward magnitudes without losing rhythm. Targeted modes are included with Premium.
Premium attempts are tracked here over time.
Practise fraction arithmetic independently so conversions and common denominators stop costing time in full runs. Targeted modes are included with Premium.
Premium attempts are tracked here over time.
Remove the clock and work through mixed mental maths at your own pace before returning to timed practice. Zen Mode is included with Premium.
Premium Zen sessions are tracked here over time.
About the assessment
The Optiver 80 in 8 is a speed-arithmetic screen built around 80 mental-maths questions in 8 minutes. The calculations are individually straightforward; the difficulty is sustaining roughly one answer every six seconds without allowing avoidable arithmetic errors to compound across the full run.
EverythingQuant lets you take one complete fixed 80-question Authentic Mode practice test for free. A free account unlocks the detailed speed, accuracy and integer/decimal/fraction breakdown from your own attempts, while Premium adds fresh randomised Authentic tests plus targeted Integer, Decimal, Fraction and Zen modes.
EverythingQuant is an independent preparation platform. This practice tool is not an official Optiver assessment and does not guarantee an interview outcome.
What you are training
Make common addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations automatic enough to solve under severe time pressure.
Move between integers, fractions and decimal representations without letting notation break your rhythm.
Protect accuracy across the entire eight-minute run instead of trading too many points for raw speed.
Learn which calculations should be immediate and which deserve a quick check before you commit.
How to prepare
Start with the complete fixed 80-question run so your first benchmark reflects the actual pacing problem rather than an isolated drill.
With a free account, use the detailed breakdown to see whether integers, decimals or fractions are disproportionately slow or inaccurate.
Use Premium targeted modes when one question family is clearly limiting your score instead of repeatedly practising the whole mix.
Use fresh randomised Authentic Mode tests to measure whether the improvement transfers to unseen questions under the full eight-minute clock.
Keep preparing
Connect 80 in 8 practice with EverythingQuant's wider Optiver assessment and interview preparation map.
Move from speed arithmetic into the quantitative and reasoning questions used later in interview preparation.
See where the mental-maths screen sits within the broader Optiver quantitative-trader process.
