SSAT Upper Level Math Questions With
Complete Solutions
How many total degrees in a triangle? 180 degrees
How many total degrees in a parallelogram? Hint: parallelogram = 2 triangles 360 degrees
Range The greatest value minus the smallest value
SSAT Special Functions (weird symbol problems) 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)

Combined average problems 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!
