Mathematics

(90 minutes - 50 multiple-choice and alternate format questions)

Please note that the Mathematics test uses metric terms and measurements. There are two separate booklets (Part I and Part II), 45 questions in each, which are combined and reported as one score.

Only Part I of the test permits the use of a Casio fx-260 solar calculator. (See Appendix A for calculator directions).

The mathematics test places emphasis on your ability to solve real-life problems. It does not test your ability to recognize specialized mathematical vocabulary or symbols. There are four content areas covered:

20-30% Arithmetic (Number operations)
20-30% Measurement and Geometry
20-30% Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability
20-30% Algebra Functions and Patterns

The questions require some computation, problem-solving, and interpretation of data contained within graphs, charts, tables, and diagrams.
