MODE - CORRECT ANSWER - The most frequently occurring number



Slope - CORRECT ANSWER - Rise / Run


(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

(10 - 6) / (8 - 4) = = 1
The line has a slope of 1


Remember: Positive slope inclines (travels upward) from left to right and negative slope declines

choices help you. Often you can plug them in and see which one works!

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)?


GIRLS
90 = x / 5
(90)(5) = x
450 = x


BOYS
85 = x / 10
(85)(10) = x
850 = x


Now, combine into one big average problem!
