Tests are graded from an easy confidence-builder (Test 1, free to try in full) up to genuine ICAS-level challenge questions by Test 15. Here's one of each:
Sample Question — from our free Test 1
What number is 300 + 40 + 5?
A
305
You forgot to add the 40. When comparing numbers, always start by looking at the biggest place value first.
B
435
You put 4 in the hundreds place instead of 3.
C
345
Correct! 300 + 40 + 5 = 345. You understood place value perfectly.
D
354
You swapped the tens and ones. 5 tens would be 50, not 40.
Sample Question — Hard tier (Test 15)
Mrs Patel baked 26 Anzac biscuits and wants to share them equally among her 4 children. She gives each child as many biscuits as possible. How many Anzac biscuits are left over?
A
2
Correct! Each child gets 6 biscuits (4 x 6 = 24 used). Remaining: 26 - 24 = 2 biscuits left over.
B
6
This is the number of biscuits each child receives, not the leftover amount. The question asks for the remainder after sharing, not the share size.
C
4
You chose the number of children. You must work out how many biscuits they receive in total and subtract that from 26 to find the remainder.
D
22
You subtracted the 4 children from the 26 biscuits (26 - 4 = 22). You need to share the biscuits into equal groups of the largest possible size, not just subtract the number of people.
