The test you take in school will contain the same four sections as this practice test: (1) a Reading Test,(2) a Writing and Language Test,(3) a portion of the Math Test on which a calculator is not allowed, and (4) a portion of the Math Test on which a calculator is allowed.  \nNOTE: This is Practice Test \\#1 .

Have your calculator available only for the Math Test – Calculator section. After the test, check your answers to see how you scored.  \nGet Credit for All You Know  \n¨ Use a No. 2 pencil.  \n¨ See “Marking Answers” below for instructions on marking your answer sheet.  \nTest-Taking Strategies  \nTry these out when you take the practice test:  \n¨ Focus on easy questions first. You receive one point for each correct answer, no matter how hard or easy the question is.  \n¨ Work steadily. Use a watch to help with pacing. Don’t waste time on a question that is hard for you. If you cannot answer it, mark it in your test book and go on. Go back to it later if there is time.  \n¨ It’s okay to guess (see below) .  \n¨ Mark your answers in the correct row on the answer sheet. Be especially careful if you skip questions.  \n¨ For Math Test – No Calculator questions 14–17 and Math Test – Calculator questions 28–31, first write your answer in the boxes above the bubbles, and then grid your answer accurately and as completely as the grid will accommodate. If you mark incorrect bubbles, the answer will be scored as incorrect, even if the right answer is given in the boxes. Double-check your grids to ensure that you haven’t marked more than one bubble in the same column.  \nYou don’t have to get every question right. You can do well even if you answer some questions incorrectly.  \n\n| | STANDARD TIMING\u003Cbr>Reading Test: 60 minutes\u003Cbr>Writing and Language Test: 35 minutes | Math Test – No Calculator: 25 minutes\u003Cbr>Math Test – Calculator: 45 minutes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>SCORING\u003Cbr>Each correct answer: One point Wrong/blank answers: No points lost\u003Cbr>GUESSING\u003Cbr>There is no penalty for wrong answers, so it makes sense to give the best answer you can to every question, even if it is just your best guess.
