SSAT Upper Level Math Questions with Correct Answers

MODE Correct Answer The most frequently occurring number Slope Correct Answer Rise / Run (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) Ex: Find the slope of the line that runs through the points (4,6) and (8,10). (10 - 6) / (8 - 4) = 4 / 4 = 1 The line has a slope of 1 Remember: Positive slope inclines (travels upward) from left to right and negative slope declines (travels downward) from left to right. USE YOUR ANSWERS Correct Answer Whenever you are stuck, let the answers choices help you. Often you can plug them in and see which one works! How many degrees in a right angle? Correct Answer 90 degrees How many total degrees in a triangle? Correct Answer 180 degrees How many total degrees in a parallelogram? Hint: parallelogram = 2 triangles Correct Answer 360 degrees Range Correct Answer The greatest value minus the smallest value SSAT Special Functions (weird symbol problems) Correct Answer Don't panic! They will define the function for you. All you have to do is plug in the numbers for the variables. Ex: a £ b = a + 5b What is the value of 6 £ 1 ? 6 £ 1 = 6 + (5)(1) 6 £ 1 = 6 + 5 6 £ 1 = 11 Combined average problems Correct Answer Break into two separate average equations before combining to solve. Ex: The average test score for 5 girls is 90. The average test score for 10 boys is 85. What is the average test score of all the students (boys and girls)?
