What gets tested
- Linear equations. Solve for x. Multiple variables.
- Word problems. Translate English into equations.
- Function notation. f(x) = 3x + 2 → find f(5).
- Sequences and patterns. Arithmetic and geometric.
- Ratios, percentages, and rates. Always show up.
Pacing
~84 seconds per question. If a problem takes more than 90 seconds, mark a guess and move on. Coming back is allowed; running out of time isn't.
Sample question
If 3x − 7 = 2x + 5, what is the value of x?
Add 7 to both sides: 3x = 2x + 12. Subtract 2x: x = 12. Six seconds.
Study plan
- Take a free test today. Identify your weakest sub-topic.
- Drill that sub-topic for 30 minutes a day.
- Run a full timed simulator once a week.
- Repeat until you're hitting 28+/33.
