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

1What is 58 + 37?
A.85
B.105
C.91
D.95
Explanation: Add the ones digits first: 8 + 7 = 15, so write 5 and carry 1 ten. Then add the tens: 5 + 3 + 1 = 9. The sum is 95.
2Compute 12 × 8 − 36.
A.48
B.72
C.96
D.60
Explanation: Multiplication comes before subtraction: 12 × 8 = 96. Then 96 − 36 = 60.
3What is 1/2 + 1/3?
A.2/5
B.1/5
C.5/6
D.2/6
Explanation: Rewrite both fractions with denominator 6: 1/2 = 3/6 and 1/3 = 2/6. Then 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.
4What is 20% of 150?
A.15
B.20
C.25
D.30
Explanation: 20% means 20/100 = 1/5. One-fifth of 150 is 30. Equivalently, 0.20 × 150 = 30.
5A mixture is made in the ratio 4:1 of water to concentrate and totals 25 liters. How many liters of concentrate are used?
A.4
B.21
C.20
D.5
Explanation: The ratio 4:1 has 4 + 1 = 5 equal parts. Each part is 25 ÷ 5 = 5 liters. Concentrate is 1 part, so 5 liters.
6Compute 1.25 × 4.
A.0.5
B.4.25
C.5
D.50
Explanation: 1.25 is 5/4, and (5/4) × 4 = 5. In decimals, 1.25 × 4 = 5.00.
7Evaluate 18 + 12 ÷ 6 × 2.
A.10
B.6
C.30
D.22
Explanation: Division and multiplication are done from left to right before addition: 12 ÷ 6 = 2, then 2 × 2 = 4. Finally 18 + 4 = 22.
8The arithmetic mean of 6, 10, and 14 is
A.8
B.30
C.12
D.10
Explanation: The mean is the sum divided by the count of values: (6 + 10 + 14) ÷ 3 = 30 ÷ 3 = 10. The values are evenly spaced, so the mean equals the middle number.
9A rectangular garden is 9 meters long and 4 meters wide. What is its perimeter?
A.13 meters
B.18 meters
C.36 meters
D.26 meters
Explanation: Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length + width) = 2(9 + 4) = 2 × 13 = 26 meters.
10A quantity of 60 is increased by 10%. What is the new quantity?
A.6
B.50
C.66
D.70
Explanation: 10% of 60 is 6, so the increased value is 60 + 6 = 66. Equivalently, multiply by 1.10: 60 × 1.10 = 66.

About the ORT Main Test Exam

The ORT Main Test (Общереспубликанское тестирование — Основной тест / Жалпы республикалык тестирлөө — Негизги тест) is the mandatory national standardized examination required for admission to all accredited higher education institutions across the Kyrgyz Republic and for competing for state-funded educational grants (budget seats). Administered annually by the independent Center for Educational Assessment and Teaching Methods (ЦООМО / CEATM), the test evaluates cognitive academic aptitudes rather than rote school curriculum memorization across four core sections: Mathematics, Analogies & Sentence Completion, Reading Comprehension, and Practical Grammar. Note: While the official exam is administered in Kyrgyz and Russian, this preparatory resource provides an English-language MCQ study adaptation designed to master the underlying logic, mathematical problem solving, and analytical reading principles tested on the ORT.

ORT Main Test: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master quantitative comparison strategies in Mathematics: evaluate whether Column A or Column B is greater, if they are equal, or if the relationship is indeterminate.
2Practice pacing under strict time limits: Analogies and Sentence Completion allows only 1 minute per question, whereas Reading Comprehension allows 2 minutes per question.
3For analogy questions, form a concise bridging sentence defining the precise relationship between the stem pair before inspecting the answer choices.
4Read comprehension passages actively by noting the author's central thesis, paragraph transition words, and tone before tackling detail and inference questions.
5Review core grammar rules: subject-verb agreement with collective nouns and compound subjects, pronoun-antecedent agreement, modifier placement, and punctuation.
