Arithmetic Reasoning
占考试 14%- Identify the unknown
- Restate what the question asks in your own words before touching the numbers so you solve for the right quantity.
- Match keywords to operations
- Words like total and combined signal addition, difference signals subtraction, of often signals multiplication, and per signals division.
- Track your units
- Carry units such as miles, dollars, or hours through the work; the units of your answer should match what the question asks for.
- Watch for extra information
- Some problems include numbers you do not need, so select only the values relevant to the question.
- Convert percent to decimal
- Divide a percent by 100 to get a decimal, so 8% becomes 0.08 before you multiply.
- Find a percent of a number
- Multiply the whole by the decimal form of the percent; 25% of 240 is 0.25 times 240, or 60.
- Convert fractions to decimals
- Divide the numerator by the denominator, so 3/4 equals 0.75.
- Increase or decrease by a percent
- For a 15% discount multiply by 0.85; for an 8% tax multiply by 1.08.
- Write a ratio in lowest terms
- Reduce a ratio the same way you reduce a fraction to compare quantities clearly.
- Set up a proportion
- Place matching quantities in the same position across an equals sign, then cross-multiply to solve for the unknown.
- Use unit rates
- Divide to find the cost or amount per single unit, which makes comparison and scaling straightforward.
- Apply scale factors
- Multiply every part of a ratio by the same factor so the relationship stays the same.
- Compute an average
- Add all the values and divide by how many there are; to find a missing value, multiply the average by the count to get the total first.
- Use simple interest
- Interest equals principal times rate times time, calculated only on the original amount.
- Solve work and rate problems
- Multiply rate by number of workers and by time to find total output, keeping units consistent.
- Estimate to check
- Round the numbers and estimate the answer to confirm your exact result is in a sensible range.
Word Knowledge
占考试 13%- Look for most nearly means
- The task is the closest match in meaning, not a perfect definition, so choose the best available option.
- Use sentence context
- When the word appears in a sentence, let the surrounding words guide which meaning applies.
- Beware of multiple meanings
- Many words have more than one meaning; pick the one that fits the way the word is used.
- Eliminate opposites
- Test writers often include an antonym as a trap, so rule out choices that mean the reverse.
- Recognize common roots
- Roots such as port meaning carry or spect meaning look appear in many words and hint at meaning.
- Use prefixes
- A prefix like un- or in- often reverses meaning, while re- suggests again and pre- suggests before.
- Use suffixes
- Endings such as -ful, -less, or -tion signal whether a word is describing, lacking, or naming something.
- Combine the clues
- Assemble the meanings of the parts to make a reasonable guess at the whole word.
- Eliminate clearly wrong choices
- Remove any option you are sure is unrelated to improve your odds among the rest.
- Judge positive or negative tone
- Decide whether the word feels positive or negative and match it to a choice with the same tone.
- Think of the word in a sentence
- Use the target word in a familiar phrase to sense its meaning before checking the options.
- Never leave a blank
- Because there is no wrong-answer penalty, always mark your best guess.
- Read widely
- Regular reading of articles and books exposes you to words in natural context.
- Keep a word list
- Write down unfamiliar words with their meanings and review them often.
- Learn words in groups
- Study related synonyms together so you can distinguish shades of meaning.
- Use new words actively
- Speaking and writing with new words cements them in memory for test day.
Paragraph Comprehension
占考试 12%- Locate the topic sentence
- The main idea often appears in the first or last sentence of a short passage.
- Summarize in one sentence
- Put the passage's point in your own words to confirm you understand it.
- Distinguish main from supporting
- Separate the central idea from the examples and details that back it up.
- Ignore outside knowledge
- Answer from the passage alone, even if you know more about the topic than it states.
- Scan for keywords
- Match important words from the question to the same words in the passage to find the relevant sentence.
- Read the full sentence
- Read around the keyword so you capture the complete meaning, not a fragment.
- Match the restatement
- The correct choice often paraphrases the passage rather than quoting it word for word.
- Verify against the text
- Confirm your choice by pointing to the exact place in the passage that supports it.
- Stay close to the text
- A correct inference follows directly from the stated information without a large leap.
- Avoid overreaching
- Reject choices that could be true in general but are not supported by the passage.
- Watch signal words
- Words such as because, therefore, and however show relationships that guide inferences.
- Test each option
- Ask whether the passage gives evidence for a choice before selecting it.
- Identify the author's purpose
- Decide whether the passage aims to inform, persuade, or explain.
- Sense the tone
- Notice word choice that reveals a positive, negative, or neutral attitude.
- Recognize cause and effect
- Track how one idea leads to another to follow the author's reasoning.
- Manage your time
- Read efficiently and answer from the passage so you keep pace across all questions.
Mathematics Knowledge
占考试 13%- Follow order of operations

- Understand square roots
- The square root of a number is the value that multiplied by itself gives that number.
- Know factors and multiples
- A factor divides a number evenly, while a multiple is the product of that number and a whole number.
- Combine like terms
- Add or subtract only terms that share the same variable, so 3x plus 2x equals 5x.
- Isolate the variable
- Perform the same inverse operation on both sides to get the variable alone.
- Check by substitution
- Put your solution back into the original equation to confirm it is correct.
- Handle negative numbers
- Track signs carefully, remembering that subtracting a negative is the same as adding.
- Sum of triangle angles
- The interior angles of any triangle always add up to 180 degrees.
- Area of a triangle
- Area equals one half times base times height, so remember the one-half factor.
- Circle formulas
- Circumference equals 2 times pi times the radius, and area equals pi times the radius squared.
- Perimeter and volume
- Perimeter is the distance around a shape, while volume of a cube is the edge length cubed.
- Memorize core formulas

Mechanical Comprehension
占考试 12%- Balanced forces
- Equal and opposite forces cancel out, so an object stays still or keeps a constant motion.
- Unbalanced forces
- A net force in one direction causes an object to accelerate that way.
- Friction opposes motion
- Friction acts between surfaces sliding against each other and resists their movement.
