A sample question from this test
What is the smaller angle (in degrees) between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at 3:29?
- 76.45
- 62.55
- 83.40
- 69.50
Answer: D. 69.50. Angle = |30 × 3 − 5.5 × 29| = |90 − 159.5| = 69.5°.
How to approach this test
The minute hand moves 6° a minute and the hour hand 0.5° a minute, so the angle at h:m is |30h − 5.5m|. Take the smaller angle if it exceeds 180°.
This set mixes straightforward questions with a few that need an extra step, so it works well as a checkpoint once the basics are comfortable. At 20 questions in 20 minutes, you have about 60 seconds per question on average. After you submit, review every wrong or guessed answer using the explanations.
