Try real questions — easy and hard

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 is the value of the digit 4 in the number 342,815?
A
400,000
This misidentifies the position as hundred-thousands.
B
4,000
This incorrectly treats 4 as thousands.
C
40,000
Correct! The digit 4 is in the ten-thousands column.
D
400
This treats 4 as being in the hundreds place.
Sample Question — Hard tier (Test 15)
A rectangular room is 9 m by 7 m. What is its area?
A
63 m²
Correct! Area = length × width = 9 × 7 = 63 m².
B
32 m²
This calculates the perimeter, not the area.
C
16 m²
This adds the length and width instead of multiplying them.
D
70 m²
This adds one extra width to the correct area.
