NES Elementary Subtest II 2 Math Only (NO GEOMETRY) 114 questions with complete solutions

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... correct 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 correct answer: Counting numbers. 1, 2, 3, etc. Does not include zero. Whole numbers correct answer: positive numbers, including zero, without any decimal or fractional parts. Includes all natural numbers plus zero. Integers correct 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 correct 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 correct 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 correct 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.
