TSIA2 Math starts with a 20-question computer-adaptive Mathematics CRC Test. Students who do not meet the benchmark are routed to a 48-question Mathematics Diagnostic Test that reports strengths and weaknesses across the four official math content categories.

Sample TSIA2 Math Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your TSIA2 Math exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A campus shuttle travels 18 miles in 30 minutes. At the same average rate, how many miles will it travel in 75 minutes?
A.36
B.42
C.45
D.54
Explanation: The rate is 18 miles per 30 minutes, or 0.6 mile per minute. In 75 minutes, the shuttle travels 0.6 x 75 = 45 miles.
2A jacket is marked down 25% from an original price of $64. What is the sale price?
A.$16
B.$39
C.$48
D.$80
Explanation: A 25% discount is one-fourth of $64, which is $16. The sale price is $64 - $16 = $48.
3Which expression is equivalent to 5(2x - 3) - 4x?
A.6x - 15
B.10x - 19
C.14x - 15
D.6x - 3
Explanation: Distribute first: 5(2x - 3) = 10x - 15. Then subtract 4x to get 6x - 15.
4A recipe uses 3/4 cup of sugar for 12 muffins. How many cups of sugar are needed for 20 muffins at the same rate?
A.1 cup
B.1 1/4 cups
C.1 1/2 cups
D.2 cups
Explanation: The scale factor from 12 to 20 muffins is 20/12 = 5/3. Then (3/4)(5/3) = 5/4, or 1 1/4 cups.
5The ratio of biology majors to chemistry majors in a club is 7:5. If there are 84 biology majors, how many chemistry majors are there?
A.48
B.60
C.72
D.96
Explanation: The ratio 7:5 means 7 parts corresponds to 84 biology majors, so 1 part is 84/7 = 12. Chemistry has 5 parts, so 5 x 12 = 60.
6A phone bill increased from $80 to $92. What was the percent increase?
A.12%
B.15%
C.20%
D.25%
Explanation: The increase is $92 - $80 = $12. The percent increase is 12/80 = 0.15, or 15%.
7Which value is greatest?
A.3/8
B.0.42
C.41%
D.0.405
Explanation: Convert to decimals: 3/8 = 0.375, 41% = 0.41, and 0.405 stays 0.405. The greatest value is 0.42.
8A graph of the equation y = 4x + 7 has which slope?
A.-7
B.4
C.7
D.11
Explanation: In slope-intercept form y = mx + b, the slope is the coefficient of x. For y = 4x + 7, the slope is 4.
9A car rental costs $35 per day plus a one-time insurance fee of $18. Which expression gives the cost, in dollars, for d days?
A.35d + 18
B.18d + 35
C.53d
D.35(d + 18)
Explanation: The daily cost is 35 dollars for each of d days, giving 35d. Add the one-time insurance fee to get 35d + 18.
10A student answered 42 questions correctly on a 60-question review. What percent of the questions did the student answer correctly?
A.60%
B.65%
C.70%
D.75%
Explanation: The fraction correct is 42/60 = 7/10 = 0.70, so the student answered 70% correctly.

About the TSIA2 Math Exam

TSIA2 Math Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practice proportional reasoning, percent change, and unit rates until you can set up the relationship before calculating.
2Review linear equations, slope, intercepts, and function evaluation because they connect quantitative and algebraic TSIA2 items.
3Work geometry problems with units attached, especially area, volume, transformations, and right triangle relationships.
4For probability and statistics, identify whether the question asks for center, spread, a data display, a simple probability, or a compound probability before calculating.
5Use diagnostic-style practice to identify whether mistakes come from arithmetic, equation setup, graph interpretation, measurement, or data reasoning.
