A sample question from this test
Through how many degrees does the hour hand of a clock turn in 2 hours and 15 minutes?
- 67.50
- 74.25
- 60.75
- 81
Answer: A. 67.50. The hour hand turns 0.5° per minute. Total time = 135 minutes, so it turns 135 × 0.5 = 67.5°.
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 40 questions in 40 minutes, you have about 60 seconds per question on average. After you submit, review every wrong or guessed answer using the explanations.
