About the Sample Questions

This "Sample Questions" test is not to check the rote learning of concepts and application of
simple procedures. This test would require the student to first understand the question
properly and then they need to think and try out different possibilities to solve the question.
The method is not important but the mindset to take on the challenge is. This test might cover
much more than what the school syllabus/curriculum gives an exposure to. Please note that
some problems would require more than one topic/concept to be applied as Math is not
about just calculations but it is about well reasoned application of concepts and operations in
a systematic and logical way. The focus here is on understanding, applying and problem
solving and relating Math with the world around us and how we use it daily for small
decisions.
The test has been designed keeping in mind the need of:
Concepts: Depth of Concept Understanding
Application: Ability to apply the concepts to solve Math or Logical problems
Logical, Analytical and Critical Thinking Skills
Problem Solving Mindset – Ownership, Rigour and Perseverance
Problem Solving skills – Systematic, Making a smaller problem to understand patterns
Taking up the challenge of unfamiliar and non-routine Qs.
Applying Common Sense and Heuristics
Understand Daily Life Situations in form of word problems where Math is applied
Understand Quantitive relationships
Visualize the situation and connect it with Mathematical procedures.
Ideal Duration: 90 Minutes (However, students should try to solve the questions even if it
takes longer. You should try to solve all the questions even if it takes more time.)
Instructions
1. Students should give the test in one sitting so make sure they have 90 minutes once they
start
2. Parents should not help or prompt however since these kids are small, parents can help
them explain the questions to them however the temptation should be curbed to give out
any hints on how to think or solve the problem.
3. Calculators should NOT be used.
4. Students can keep a rough notebook/blank sheets for doing their working.
5. One should refer to the answer key only at the end of the test.
6. Solutions will also be made available for these sample questions later on the website.

These sample questions are just indicative of the kind of questions you may expect in
GJMAT & GJMOC, however, the problems might be easier or even more complex.

All the Best, Enjoy the Test
