FSA Mathematics
Practice Test Questions

The purpose of these practice test materials is to orient teachers and students
to the types of questions on paper-based FSA Mathematics tests. By using
these materials, students will become familiar with the types of items and
response formats they may see on a paper-based test. The practice questions
and answers are not intended to demonstrate the length of the actual test,
nor should student responses be used as an indicator of student performance
on the actual test. The practice test is not intended to guide classroom
instruction.

Directions for Answering the

Mathematics Practice Test Questions

If you don’t know how to work a problem, ask your teacher to explain it
to you. Your teacher has the answers to the practice test questions.

You may need conversions to help you solve some of the problems. You may
refer to the Reference Sheet on page 5 as often as you like.

Use the space in your Mathematics Practice Test Questions booklet to do

your work.

Directions for Completing the Response Grids

1. Work the problem and find an answer.

2. Write your answer in the answer boxes at the top of the grid.
• Write your answer with the first digit in the left answer box OR with
the last digit in the right answer box.
• Write only one digit or symbol in each answer box. Do NOT leave a
blank answer box in the middle of an answer.
• Be sure to write a decimal point, negative sign, or fraction bar in the
answer box if it is a part of the answer.
3. Fill in a bubble under each box in which you wrote your answer.
• Fill in one and ONLY one bubble for each answer box. Do NOT fill
in a bubble under an unused answer box.
• Fill in each bubble by making a solid mark that completely fills
the circle.
• You MUST fill in the bubbles accurately to receive credit for
your answer.

percent to its decimal or fractional equivalent. Grid in the percent value
without the % symbol. Do the same with dollar amounts.

Do NOT write a mixed number, such as 13 1 , in the answer boxes.

4
Change the mixed number to an equivalent fraction, such as 53 , or to an
4
equivalent decimal, such as 13.25. Do not try to fill in 13 1 , as it would be
4
read as 131 and would be counted wrong.

Choose the correct word or phrase to fill in each blank in the summary.
For each blank, fill in the bubble before the word or phrase that is
correct.

If you compare the means, it appears that in 2011 _________

[ A approximately 71 fewer B approximately 71 more C approximately

15,229 fewer D approximately 15,229 more] books were read on

average than in 2012. When the medians for the two years are

compared, the data show that in 2011 _________ [ A approximately

71 fewer B approximately 71 more C approximately 15,229 fewer

D approximately 15,229 more] books were read than in 2012. As far as

the spread of the data, both data sets have the same _________
