A sample question from this test
Through how many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in 161 minutes?
- 965
- 964
- 956
- 966
Answer: D. 966. The minute hand turns 6° every minute, so in 161 minutes it turns 6 × 161 = 966°.
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 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 30 questions in 30 minutes, you have about 60 seconds per question on average. After you submit, review every wrong or guessed answer using the explanations.
