Free EIAT Mathematics practice

Mathematics is 30 of the EIAT's 100 questions. NEIEP's examples are designed to be worked by hand, so practice without a calculator. The content is school arithmetic: decimal long division, multiplying mixed numbers, working an expression in the right order, and solving a simple equation. What makes it hard is doing it on paper against a clock, which most people have not done in years. Note the fifth option on every question: “No answer” is genuinely correct sometimes, so check your result against the list rather than picking the nearest.

Question 1. 25.5 − (2.5 × 4.5) = ?

  1. 15.25
  2. 13.25
  3. 28.5
  4. 14.25
  5. No answer

D: 14.25. Work from the inside out: 2.5 × 4.5 = 11.25, then 25.5 − (2.5 × 4.5) = 14.25.

Question 2. 3 2/3 × 3/4 = ?

  1. 3 3/4
  2. 2 3/4
  3. 1 3/4
  4. 5 1/2
  5. No answer
