What is a Mathematical Knowledge Test?
In the Mathematical Knowledge test, your understanding of high school-level mathematics will be assessed. Calculators are typically allowed during these tests, and the use of pen and paper is highly recommended.
What questions can I expect?
In a Math Knowledge test, you are required to solve mathematical problems and answer questions related to mathematical theory. When preparing for a Mathematical Knowledge test, we suggest that you brush up on the following topics:
- Order of Operations
- Types of Numbers
- Decimals
- Percentages
- Interest
- Factorials
- Exponents
- Pythagorean Theorem
- 2D and 3D Geometric Figures
- Names of Common Figures
- Volume and Area
- Circumference
- Linear Equations
- Quadratic Equations
Mechanical knowledge example question:
A rectangle has a length that is 4 times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 100 cm, what is the area of the rectangle?
Explanation: Select your answer to display explanation.
First, let’s denote the width of the rectangle as w and the length as 4w since the length is 4 times the width. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula 2(length + width).
So, we have:
2(4w + w) = 100
2(5w) = 100
5w = 50
w = 10 cm
Now that we know the width is 10 cm, the length is 4 × 10 = 40 cm. The area of a rectangle is calculated by length × width, so:
Area = 40 cm × 10 cm = 400 cm²
Therefore, the correct answer is A) 400 cm².
