NES Elementary Subtest II 2
Math Only (NO GEOMETRY)
IMPORTANT!!! READ THE BACK OF THIS CARD IF YOU ARE TAKING
PEARSONS NES SUBTEST II FOR ELEMENTARY!!!
ALSO, DO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TAKING THIS EXAM
REMOTELY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE SCRATCH
PAPER IF TAKING REMOTELY!!! MANY OF MATH PROBLEMS ARE
VERY DIFFICULT WITHOUT SCRATCH. THE OFFICIAL PRACTICE
TEST IS MUCH SIMPLER TO DO WITHOUT SCRATCH THAN THE
ACTUAL TEST!!! TRUST ME ON THIS...OR DON'T... - ANSWER
✔✔Pearson front loads the test with very tricky questions that take a lot
of time. I Highly recommend skipping the first 30 questions at first and
doing them last. Don't even look at them!!!! Most of the questions on the
,last 2/3rds of the test are quick and sometimes easy. (if you are
prepared.) It took me 40 minutes to do the first 15 problems on the exam
and I freaked out and was SURE I would run out of time well before I
could finish. I said "forget it" to the math and skipped the rest of it. Sure
enough the last 40 questions only took me 20-30 minutes so I had plenty
of time to go back carefully complete everything I left behind. Another
option would be to flag and skip every problem that looks like it will take
more than a minute. I got a 281 but probably would have done a lot
better if I didn't get so rattled at the beginning of the test. I took 2 years
of calc in college a long time ago (science side not easy arts side calc)
and still found the questions unfamiliar, VERY awkward, time consuming
and tricky. GOOD LUCK!!!!
Natural Numbers - ANSWER ✔✔Counting numbers. 1, 2, 3, etc.
Does not include zero.
Whole numbers - ANSWER ✔✔positive numbers, including zero,
without any decimal or fractional parts. Includes all natural numbers plus
zero.
Integers - ANSWER ✔✔The set of whole numbers and their
opposites {. . .-2, -1, 0, 1, 2. . .}. You may need to remember that all non
zero ________________ are also fraction (e.g. 1/1=1, 5/1=5).
, rational number - ANSWER ✔✔Any number that can be expressed
as a ratio of two integers. Any number that can be a fraction. Remember
that 0 is a rational number because 0/X is equal to zero. Also all integers
are also rational numbers because they could be written as a fraction.
Reciprocal - ANSWER ✔✔The multiplicative inverse of a number. For
example the multiplicative inverse 5 is equal to 1/5. Or 1/3 is equal to
3/1. Remember that a number multiplied by is multiplicative inverse is 1
(e.g. (1/2)*(2/1)=1)
Real numbers - ANSWER ✔✔Combining the rational numbers with
the irrational numbers results in this set of numbers. Includes numbers
with non-repeating and non-terminating decimals (think of pie as an
example) as well as all rational numbers.
irrational numbers - ANSWER ✔✔Numbers that cannot be expressed
as a ratio of two integers. Their decimal expansions are nonending and
nonrepeating. These numbers cannot be shown as a fraction.
Associative Property - ANSWER ✔✔Changing the grouping of
numbers will NOT change the value. For example: (7 + 4) + 8 = 7 + (4 +
8) also works with multiplication
