Lesson Guide
Explanation
This paper is in the shape of the ACER scholarship test that schools use for entry to Years 9 and 10: four options, no calculator, and questions where the arithmetic is light and the reasoning is the test. ACER does not publish the exact length of the current mathematics section, so this paper gives you thirty-five questions in forty minutes as practice volume. Read each question twice, draw the situation if there is one, and do the whole paper in one sitting. Nothing is taken off for a wrong answer, so never leave a blank.
Your Turn
Before you start, say the plan once: read twice, draw it, write each step down, never leave a blank.
Watch Out
An easy calculation does not mean an easy question. The trap is in the reading — "odd", "exactly", "at least", "each must touch".
📌 Key Points — this lesson in a nutshell
  • 35 questions in 40 minutes, four options A–D, no calculator — practice volume in the ACER form.
  • The arithmetic is light on purpose: if you are grinding a long calculation, look for the structure instead.
  • The test is in the reading: "at least", "exactly", "must", "not" decide the answer.
  • No penalty for a wrong answer — never leave a blank.
