Math 1 Practice Test

The ACT® International Subject Test—Math 1 Practice Test is an official

AIST practice test. The full-length Math 1 Practice Test consists of items
drawn from the International Subject Test Math 1 formative assessment
pool and adheres to the AIST Math 1 Test Specifications.

This PDF file includes Math 1 Practice Test questions and answer keys.
Taking the AIST Official full-length practice test is the best way to
prepare for the two sessions of the AIST Math 1 test.
 Math 1
60 Minutes—50 Questions

For each question, first decide which answer is correct. Then, click the circle
next to your answer to select that answer. If you decide to change your answer,
click the circle next to your new answer.
You are permitted to use an approved calculator on this test. You may use your
calculator for any problems you choose. Some of the problems may require a
calculator; some of the problems may best be solved without using a calculator.
A Reference Sheet has been included in this Math 1 Practice Test, beginning
on the next page.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all of the following assumptions apply to
these problems.
1. Illustrative figures are NOT necessarily drawn to scale.
2. Geometric figures lie in a plane.
3. The word line indicates a straight line.
4. The word average indicates the arithmetic mean.
Your score will be based only on the number of questions you answer correctly
during the time allowed. Do not linger over problems that take too much time.
Solve as many as you can; then return to the others in the time you have left for
this test. You will NOT be penalized for guessing. It is to your advantage to
answer every question even if you must guess.
If you finish before time ends, you should use the time remaining to reconsider
questions you are uncertain about.
