GENERAL TIPS FOR SOLVING MATHEMATICS ITEMS
1. Draw a diagram
For any geometry question for which a figure is
not provided, draw one (as accurately as
possible) never attempt a geometry problem 6. Dont do more than you have to
without first drawing a diagram.
2. Trust a diagram that has been drawn to scale
Whenever diagrams have been drawn to scale,
they can be trusted. This means that you can 7. Pay attention to units
look at the diagram and use your eyes to
accurately estimate the sizes of angles and line
segments.
3. Exaggerate or otherwise change a diagram
Sometimes it is appropriate to take a diagram
that appears to be drawn to scale and 8. Systematically make lists
intentionally exaggerate it. Why would we do
this?
4. Add a line to a diagram
Occasionally, after staring at a diagram, you still
have no idea how to solve the problem to which
it applies. It looks as though not enough
information has been given. When this happens,
it often helps to draw another line in the
diagram.
5. Subtract to find the shaded region
Whenever part of a figure is shaded, the
straightforward way to find the area of the
shaded portion is to find the area of the entire

b. Prime factorization
figure and subtract from it the area of the
unshaded region.
Very often a problem can be solved in more than
one way. You should always try to do it in the
easiest way possible.
There are instances where items given are not
consistent with the units in the options. There
will be a need for you to change the unit of your
answer. It will be good to watch over units and
be consistent in using them.
When a question asks how many often the best
strategy is to make a list of all the possibilities. If
you do this it is important that you make the list
in a systematic fashion so that you dont
inadvertently leave something out. Usually, this
means listing the possibilities in numerical or
alphabetical order. Often, shortly after starting
the list, you can see a pattern developing and
you can figure out how many more entries there
will be without writing them all down. Even if
the question does not specifically ask how
many you may need to count something to
answer it: in case, as well, the best plan may be
to write out a list.

ADDITIONAL TIPS
Round off and estimate wherever possible.
Minimize calculation.
It is easier to divide and use cancellation method
than to multiply first and later divide. This will
help make quick calculations.
Look for shortcuts that are built into many
problems.
Work on units (hours, ounces, square miles)
consistent with those in the answer choices.
Break down complex word problems and make
computations one step at a time.
Consider using labels and symbols to represent
long sentences, statements, and ideas. This will
help you have a good grasp of the problem.
Number System
Sets of Numbers
(1) Even Numbers = {2, 4, 6,..}
(2) Odd Numbers = {1, 3, 5, 7,}
(3) Positive Integers = {1,2,3,}
(4) Negative Integers = {, -3, -2, -1}
(5) Whole Numbers (W) = {0, 1, 2, 3,}
(6) Integers (Z) = {, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,3,}
(7) Rational Numbers (Q) = {x/x = ; a, b Z, b 0}
Properties of Real Numbers
Least Common Multiple (LCM) the smallest natural
number that has both of them as factor.
Example: 12 is the LCM of 3 and 4.
Least Common Denominator (LCD) the smallest
integer that contains both the denominators as factor.
Fractions/Decimals/Percentages
Fractions are numbers expressed as the ratio of two
numbers, and are used primarily to express a comparison
between parts and a whole.
A kind of fraction, percentage, always has denominator is
always 100. Thus 75% means 75/100.
In mathematics, the set of all numbers which can be
expressed as a fraction m/n, where m and n are integers and
n is not zero, is called the set of rational numbers. This set is
represented by the symbol Q.
Vulgar, proper, and improper fractions
A vulgar fraction (or common fraction or simple fraction)
is a rational number written as one integer (the numerator)
divided by a non-zero integer (the denominator) such as .
A vulgar fraction is said to be a proper fraction if the
absolute value of the numerator is less than the absolute
value of the denominatorthat is, if the absolute value of the
entire fraction is less than 1; a vulgar fraction is said to be an
improper fraction if the absolute value of the numerator is

Since most tests are in multiple choice formats,

Go back through the test, doing the problems

Mixed numbers
A mixed number is the sum of a whole number and a proper
fraction. This sum is implied without the use of any visible
operator such as "+"; the whole and fractional parts of the
number are written next to each other: .
Reciprocals and the "invisible denominator"
The reciprocal of a fraction is another fraction with the
numerator and denominator reversed. The reciprocal of ,
for instance, is .
Because any number divided by one results in the same
number, it is possible to write any whole number as a
fraction by using 1 as the denominator: 17 = (1 is
sometimes referred to as the "invisible denominator").
Therefore, except for zero, every fraction or whole number
has a reciprocal. The reciprocal of 17 would be .
