Free 100-question MCQ study bank for Estonia's põhikooli matemaatika lõpueksam (Grade 9), covering the computation skills behind the full III kooliaste (7.-9. klass) curriculum: numbers/powers/percentages, algebraic expressions and equations, functions and graphs, planimetry, solid geometry, and statistics/probability. Official exam: single 180-minute written paper, 50 points across 7 tasks (5 mandatory @ 8 pts + 1 of 2 optional @ 10 pts), scheduled 29 April 2026 at 10:00. Pass threshold is 25/50 points (50%). Ordinary non-programmable calculator allowed; no formula sheets or textbooks. In 2026, 15,066 candidates averaged 66.39% (up from 63.87% in 2025), with roughly a third at 90-100% and nearly a quarter below 50%. Compulsory for every basic-school graduate (not an elective), alongside an Estonian-language exam and one valikeksam. No fee, since basic education is free. Not an official-format simulation - the real exam requires full written, partial-credit solutions.

Sample Estonian Basic-School Mathematics Exam Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Estonian Basic-School Mathematics Exam exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Evaluate using the correct order of operations: -3 + 5 x (-2).
A.-13
B.16
C.-16
D.4
Explanation: Multiplication is performed before addition: 5 x (-2) = -10, then -3 + (-10) = -13. Order of operations always requires multiplication and division to be done before addition and subtraction, unless parentheses say otherwise.
2What is 35% of 240?
A.84
B.72
C.96
D.168
Explanation: To find 35% of a number, convert the percentage to a decimal (0.35) and multiply: 0.35 x 240 = 84. This is the standard method for finding a percentage of a quantity.
3A jacket originally costs 80 euros. Its price is reduced by 25% in a sale. What is the new price?
A.60 euros
B.55 euros
C.65 euros
D.20 euros
Explanation: A 25% discount removes 0.25 x 80 = 20 euros from the price, leaving 80 - 20 = 60 euros. Equivalently, the new price is 75% of the original: 0.75 x 80 = 60 euros.
4Simplify: 2^3 x 2^2.
A.32
B.16
C.64
D.10
Explanation: When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents: 2^3 x 2^2 = 2^(3+2) = 2^5 = 32. This exponent rule applies whenever the bases are identical.
5What is the value of the square root of 169?
A.13
B.12
C.14
D.84.5
Explanation: The square root of 169 is the positive number that, when multiplied by itself, equals 169. Since 13 x 13 = 169, the square root of 169 is 13.
6A recipe requires flour and sugar in the ratio 5:2. If 15 kilograms of flour are used, how much sugar is needed?
A.6 kg
B.7.5 kg
C.5 kg
D.3 kg
Explanation: The ratio 5:2 means flour is 5 parts and sugar is 2 parts. Since 15 kg of flour is 3 times the 5-part unit (15 / 5 = 3), sugar must also scale by 3: 2 x 3 = 6 kg.
7A shop increases the price of a chair from 120 euros to 150 euros. What is the percentage increase?
A.25%
B.20%
C.30%
D.15%
Explanation: Percentage increase equals (change / original) x 100%. The change is 150 - 120 = 30 euros, so the increase is (30 / 120) x 100% = 25%.
8Simplify: (-2)^4.
A.16
B.-16
C.8
D.-8
Explanation: (-2)^4 means (-2) multiplied by itself 4 times: (-2) x (-2) x (-2) x (-2). Multiplying an even number of negative factors gives a positive result: (-2)^4 = 16.
9A students' savings decreased from 90 euros to 63 euros over a month. By what percentage did the savings decrease?
A.30%
B.27%
C.70%
D.33%
Explanation: The decrease is 90 - 63 = 27 euros. Percentage decrease is (decrease / original) x 100% = (27 / 90) x 100% = 30%.
10Simplify the expression: 3/4 + 5/6 (write as a single fraction in lowest terms).
A.19/12
B.8/10
C.15/24
D.4/5
Explanation: The least common denominator of 4 and 6 is 12. Converting: 3/4 = 9/12 and 5/6 = 10/12. Adding: 9/12 + 10/12 = 19/12, which cannot be simplified further.
