What this exam covers
Real passing scores by state

States set their own qualifying score for this test -- ETS just reports what each one requires. These are the real state-reported scaled scores (out of 200), sourced from ETS's own Passing Score Requirements tool, verified 2026-09-01. This is not the same scale as your CQU practice percentage above -- there is no public conversion between the two, so treat this as what the real exam requires, not a prediction from your practice score.

5 real sample questions
For f(x)=โˆ’3xยณ+2x, what happens as xโ†’โˆž?
A. f(x)โ†’โˆž
B. f(x)โ†’0
C. f(x)โ†’โˆ’โˆž
D. f(x)โ†’2
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. f(x)โ†’โˆ’โˆž

For large positive x, the leading term โˆ’3xยณ dominates 2x. Since โˆ’3xยณ decreases without bound, f(x)โ†’โˆ’โˆž.

  • A: A positive leading coefficient would produce this right-end behavior for an odd-degree polynomial.
  • B: The function is not a decaying reciprocal or exponential expression.
  • D: The coefficient 2 is not a horizontal asymptote.
Source: Polynomial degree and leading term
What is the units digit of 7^202?
A. 1
B. 3
C. 7
D. 9
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. 9

Powers of 7 have units digits 7,9,3,1 in a cycle of length 4. Since 202 leaves remainder 2 when divided by 4, 7^202 has the second digit in the cycle, 9.

  • A: One corresponds to exponents divisible by 4.
  • B: Three corresponds to exponents congruent to 3 modulo 4.
  • C: Seven corresponds to exponents congruent to 1 modulo 4.

Which expression is equivalent to xยฒโˆ’7x+12?
A. (xโˆ’6)(xโˆ’2)
B. (x+3)(x+4)
C. (xโˆ’3)(xโˆ’4)
D. (x+6)(xโˆ’2)
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. (xโˆ’3)(xโˆ’4)

Find two numbers whose product is 12 and sum is โˆ’7: โˆ’3 and โˆ’4. Therefore xยฒโˆ’7x+12=(xโˆ’3)(xโˆ’4).

  • A: The middle coefficient would be โˆ’8.
  • B: The middle coefficient would be +7.
  • D: The product's constant term would be โˆ’12.

A tank contains 120 liters and drains at 8 liters per minute. Which expression gives the liters remaining after t minutes?
A. 120โˆ’8t
B. 8tโˆ’120
C. 120+8t
D. (120โˆ’8)t
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. 120โˆ’8t

The initial amount is 120 and each minute decreases it by 8, giving V(t)=120โˆ’8t.

  • B: This uses the wrong initial sign and intercept.
  • C: This models filling rather than draining.
  • D: This incorrectly multiplies the initial amount by time.
Source: Linear models using initial value and constant rate
Relative to y=xยฒ, what transformation produces y=(xโˆ’4)ยฒ+3?
A. Left 4 and up 3
B. Right 4 and up 3
C. Right 3 and up 4
D. Left 3 and down 4
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Right 4 and up 3

Vertex form y=(xโˆ’h)ยฒ+k shifts y=xยฒ right by h and vertically by k. Here h=4 and k=3, so the shift is right 4 and up 3.

  • A: The horizontal sign inside the function is interpreted oppositely.
  • C: This interchanges the horizontal and vertical shift values.
  • D: Both shift values and directions are misread.
