Quantitative Battery
The Quantitative Battery tests the student's quantitative reasoning and problem solving ability and provides an appraisal of the student's general level of abstract reasoning
For students in grade three and above three tests are administered in the quantitative battery. The first test has twenty-five questions and students are given 8 minutes to finish. The second has 20 questions with a 10 minute testing time. The third has fifteen questions with a 12 minute testing time.
Quantitative Relations: The student is given two problems numbered one and two with three answer choices. The student is to solve the two problems and determine if the answer is greater, less than, or equal to.
|
Example: |
1. 0+3 2. 3+0 |
|
Choices: |
a) 1 is greater than 2; b) 1 is less than 2; c) 1 is equal to 2 |
Number Series: The student is given a series of numbers and is asked to decide which number should come next in the series.
|
Example: |
5 10 15 20 |
|
Choices: |
25; 30; 35; 40; 45 |
Equation Building: The student is given numbers and signs. The student is asked to combine the numbers and signs to get a solution that is an answer choice.
|
Example: |
1 2 3 - x |
|
Choices: |
1; 2; 3; 4; 6 |
