A sample question from this test
What day of the week was 3 July 2013?
- Monday
- Sunday
- Wednesday
- Thursday
Answer: C. Wednesday. 3 July 2013 fell on a Wednesday. (Counting odd days: an ordinary year has 1 odd day and a leap year has 2.)
How to approach this test
Count odd days: 7 days make a week, so only the remainder after dividing the number of days by 7 shifts the weekday.
This set leans hard, with multi-step questions, so treat it as a stretch: attempt the questions you can see a method for first and return to the rest. At 25 questions in 25 minutes, you have about 60 seconds per question on average. After you submit, review every wrong or guessed answer using the explanations.
