SSAT UPPER-LEVEL MATHMODE - answer The most frequently occurring number
Slope - 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) = = 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 - 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? - answer90 degrees
How many total degrees in a triangle? - answer180 degrees
How many total degrees in a parallelogram? Hint: parallelogram = 2 triangles -
answer360 degrees
Range - answer The greatest value minus the smallest value
SSAT Special Functions (weird symbol problems) - 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 - answerBreak 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!
Group average = (850 + 450) / 10 + 5
= 86.7
Group average = 86.7
Challenging VOLUME problems - answerLength x width x height
Ex: How many cubes with side length 3 can fit into a cube of side length of 6?
Small cube volume = (3)(3)(3) = 27
Big cube volume = (6)(6)(6) = 216
= 8
8 small cubes can fit into the larger cube!
Parallel lines cut by transversal - answer...
Perimeter of weird shapes - answerMake sure you account for ALL SIDES!
Surface Area - answerFind the area of each individual side and add up all sides. For
cubes, simply multiply side area by 6 (6 sides on cube)
Integer - answerPositive or negative whole number
Graphs / Data Tables - answerTAKE YOUR TIME.
1) Ignore answer choices
2) Look at x and y axes. What does each measure?
3) What kind of data is being shown? What conclusions can you draw?
Area of a circle - answerPi r squared
