Sample Pancyprian Core Math Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Pancyprian Core Math exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Solve the equation 3x - 7 = 11 for x.
A.x = 6
B.x = 4/3
C.x = 9
D.x = -6
Explanation: Add 7 to both sides: 3x = 18. Dividing both sides by 3 gives x = 6. Substituting back, 3(6) - 7 = 18 - 7 = 11, which confirms the solution.
2Solve the equation x/4 + 2 = 5 for x.
A.x = 7
B.x = 20
C.x = 12
D.x = 28
Explanation: Subtract 2 from both sides to get x/4 = 3. Multiplying both sides by 4 gives x = 12. Check: 12/4 + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5.
3Factorise the expression x^2 - 9 completely.
A.(x - 9)(x + 1)
B.(x - 3)(x + 3)
C.(x - 3)^2
D.(x + 3)^2
Explanation: x^2 - 9 is a difference of two squares: x^2 - 3^2. The identity a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) gives (x - 3)(x + 3). Expanding (x - 3)(x + 3) = x^2 - 9 confirms it.
4If 2^x = 32, what is the value of x?
A.x = 16
B.x = 4
C.x = 5
D.x = 6
Explanation: Since 32 = 2^5, the equation 2^x = 2^5 gives x = 5. Checking: 2^5 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32.
5Simplify (x^3 . x^4) / x^2.
A.x^9
B.x^5
C.x^6
D.x^7
Explanation: Using the laws of indices, x^3 . x^4 = x^(3+4) = x^7. Dividing by x^2 gives x^(7-2) = x^5.
6Solve the quadratic equation x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0.
A.x = -2 and x = -3
B.x = 1 and x = 6
C.x = -1 and x = 6
D.x = 2 and x = 3
Explanation: Factorising: x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, so x = 2 or x = 3. Check with Vieta's relations: the roots sum to 5 and multiply to 6, matching the coefficients.
7Solve the equation 2x^2 - 8 = 0.
A.x = 2 only
B.x = 4 only
C.x = 2 and x = -2
D.x = 4 and x = -4
Explanation: Dividing by 2 gives x^2 = 4. A positive number has two square roots, so x = 2 or x = -2. Both satisfy 2x^2 - 8 = 0 since squaring removes the sign.
8Solve the inequality 2x - 5 < 7.
A.x < 6
B.x < 1
C.x > 6
D.x < -6
Explanation: Add 5 to both sides: 2x < 12. Dividing by the positive number 2 keeps the inequality direction, giving x < 6.
9Solve the equation |x - 3| = 5.
A.x = 8 only
B.x = 8 and x = -2
C.x = 2 and x = -8
D.x = -2 only
Explanation: An absolute value equation splits into two cases: x - 3 = 5 gives x = 8, and x - 3 = -5 gives x = -2. Both solutions are valid since absolute value measures distance from zero.
10Solve the simultaneous equations x + y = 10 and x - y = 4.
A.x = 3, y = 7
B.x = 6, y = 4
C.x = 7, y = 3
D.x = 14, y = -4
Explanation: Adding the two equations eliminates y: 2x = 14, so x = 7. Substituting into x + y = 10 gives y = 3. Check: 7 - 3 = 4, satisfying the second equation.

Pancyprian Core Math: Suggested Study Strategy

1Read the official 2026 specification row for code 043 (ΜΑΘΗΜΑΤΙΚΑ ΚΟΙΝΟΥ ΚΟΡΜΟΥ) on the Examinations Service guide before drilling MCQs.
2After each wrong answer, rewrite the rule or concept in your own words with one new example.
3Schedule weekly timed practice with official past papers so you build the non-MCQ skills the real paper requires.
4Track weak categories from this bank and re-test them after 48 hours.
5Confirm logistics (centre, materials, language of response) from panexams.moec.gov.cy announcements, not from third-party summaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official Pancyprian Core Mathematics exam?

No. The official assessment is administered by the Cyprus Examinations Service as a constructed-response, drawing, performance or mixed paper under code 043. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation for revision; practise every required non-MCQ component with official past papers and the specification.

How is the subject marked?

Like all Pancyprian access subjects it is marked on a 0–20 scale. There is no pass mark; the grade contributes to the access/ranking grade used for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.

What is the 2026 exam fee?

EUR 25.00 per access subject (EUR 50.00 only for Practical Physical Performance Test code 032), payable by card in the official 2–17 April 2026 window, with exemptions for specified groups.

Who can sit this examination?

Final-year student or graduate of a Cyprus public secondary school (lyceum cycle), the English School Nicosia, a licensed private school, or an equivalent foreign upper-secondary school (with certification), within Examinations Service nationality/residence rules. Applications are electronic; un-promoted final-year students with 135+ absences are excluded.

Why is the practice bank in English?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice URL per exam. Where the tested skill is another language, stems/options may retain that language while explanations stay in English. The bank is not an official translation of the Greek (or other) exam environment.

How should I use this bank with official materials?

Use the bank to diagnose weak syllabus areas, then switch to Θέματα - Λύσεις and the official specification on panexams.moec.gov.cy for timed written, drawing or performance practice that this bank does not simulate.
