- Math has 44 questions in two 35-minute modules, about 95 seconds per question.
- The four areas: Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry.
- Desmos is built in for every question, but it is not always the fastest route.
What are the four Math areas?
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Algebra | Linear equations, inequalities and systems; lines and their graphs |
| Advanced Math | Quadratics, exponentials, polynomials and equivalent expressions |
| Problem-Solving and Data Analysis | Ratios, percentages, units, statistics and data in tables and graphs |
| Geometry and Trigonometry | Area, volume, angles, triangles, circles and right-triangle trigonometry |
How should you practise Math?
- Take a full test and list your wrong answers by area.
- Practise one area at a time with a topic set and read every explanation.
- Every week, add one timed Math module (22 questions, 35 minutes) to keep pacing honest.
TipWrite down the formula or rule each mistake needed. A one-page list of your own missed rules is the best Math revision sheet there is.
What about questions without answer choices?
Some Math questions ask you to type your own answer. Check the format: a fraction or a decimal is usually accepted, but read the on-screen directions before test day.
