Answers:
1- D
First, we need to find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 143 and 55.
\(143=11×13\)
\(55=5×11→\) GFC\( = 11\)
Therefore, we need 11 boxes.
2- C
\(2205÷315=\frac{2205}{315}=\frac{441}{63}=\frac{147}{21}= 7\)
3- B
\(112=22+x \)
Subtract 22 from both sides of the equation. Then:
\(x=112-22=90\)
4- D
Distance that car B travels \(=1.2 ×\) distance that car A travels
=\(1.2×221.5=265.8 \) km
5- D
The perimeter of the trapezoid is 38.
Therefore, the missing side (height) is \(= 38 – 8 – 10 – 11 = 9\)
Area of the trapezoid: \(A = \frac{1}{2} h (b_1 + b_2) = \frac{1}{2}1 (9) (8 + 10) = 81\)
6- D
A. \(3^1+12=3+12=15\)
B. \(3^3-3^2=27-9=18\)
C. \(3^4-60=81-60=21\)
D. \(3^5-218=243-218=25\)
7- B
Alfred has \(x\) apple which is 15 apples more than number of apples Alvin owns. Therefore:
\(x-15=40→x=40+15=55\)
Alfred has 55 apples.
Let \(y\) be the number of apples that Baron has. Then: \(y=\frac{1}{5}×55=11\)
8- A
Complementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
\( β+150^\circ=180^\circ→β=180^\circ-150^\circ=30^\circ\)
The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Then:
\(α+β+50^\circ=180^\circ→α+30^\circ+50^\circ=180^\circ\)
\(→α+80^\circ=180^\circ→α=180^\circ-80^\circ=100^\circ\)
9- C
Let \(x\) be the original price.
If the price of a laptop is decreased by \(15\%\) to $425, then:
\(85 \% \space of \space x=425⇒ 0.85x=425 ⇒ x=425÷0.85=500\)
10- C
Let \(x\) and \(y\) be two sides of the shape. Then:
\(x+1=1+1+1→x=2\)
\(y+6+2=5+4→y+8=9→y=1\)
Then, the perimeter is:
\(1+5+1+4+1+2+1+6+2+1=24\)
11- B
First, put the numbers in order from least to greatest: \(1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6\)
The Mode of the set of numbers is: 1 and 3 (the most frequent numbers)
Median is: 3 (the number in the middle)
12- C
\(x×92=x×(90+2)=(x×90)+(x×2)\)
13- C
The ratio of pens to pencils is \(3 : 5\). Therefore, there are 3 pens out of all 8 pens and pencils. To find the answer, first dived 96 by 8, then multiply the result by 3.
\(96÷8=12→12×3=36\)
There are 36 pens and 60 pencils \((96-36)\). Therefore, 24 more pens should be put in the box to make the ratio \(1 : 1\)
14- D
If the value of point A is greater than the value of point B, then the distance between the two points on the number line is: value of A- value of B
A. \(-\frac{24}{3}-(-13)=-8+13=5=5\)
B. \(-3-(-\frac{24}{3})=-3+8=5=5\)
C. \(-2-(-\frac{24}{3})=-2+8=6≠5\)
15- B
\(\frac{3}{13}≅0.23 , \frac{5}{14}≅0.357 , \frac{4}{11}≅0.36 , \frac{2}{5}=0.4\)
16- B
Plug the value of \(x\) in the equations. \(x = -4\), then:
A.\(x(3x-1)=50→-4(3(-4)-1)=-4(-12-1)=-4(-13)=52≠50\)
B. \(5(11-x^2 )=-25→5(11-(-4)^2 )= 5(11-16)=5(-5)=-25\)
C. \(3(-2x+5)=49→3(-2(-4)+5)=3(8+5)=39≠49\)
D. \(x(-5x-19)=-3→-4(-5(-4)-19=-4(20-19)=-4≠-3\)
17- 5
Let \(x\) be the missing prime factor of 450.
\(450= 2 × 3 × 3 × x ⇒ x =\frac{450}{18} ⇒ x = 25=5×5\)
18- C
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangle.
\(a^2+b^2=c^2→6^2+8^2=c^2→36+64=c^2→100=c^2→c=10\)
The perimeter of the triangle is: \(6+8+10=24\)
19- C
Use the percent formula:
\(Part = \frac{percent}{100} × whole\)
\(65= \frac{percent}{100} × 50⇒ 65 = \frac{percent ×50}{100}⇒ 65=\frac{percent ×5}{10}\)
Multiply both sides by 10.
\(650 =percent ×5, \space divide \space both \space sides \space by \space 5.\)
130 = percent
The answer is \(130\%\)
20- A
Let’s check the options provided.
A. \(-10+(-8)+ (\frac{5}{2})×(-2)=-10+(-8)+(-5)=-10-13=-23\)
B. \(5×3+(-2)×18=15+(-38)=-21\)
C. \(-10+6×8÷(-4)=-10+48÷(-4)=-10-12=-22\)
D. \((-3)× (-7)+ 2=21+2=23\)

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the 6th Grade GMAS Math test?
The Georgia Milestones End-of-Grade (EOG) Math test at grade 6 has about 60 items total, split into two sections of roughly 30 items each (one calculator-active, one calculator-inactive). This free practice gives you 20 sample questions to check readiness.
Is a calculator allowed on the GMAS Grade 6 Math?
Yes, but only on Section 2 (the calculator-active section). The state provides an embedded online calculator for grade 6. Section 1 is calculator-inactive to test computational fluency without tools. Your student should practice both styles.
How is the GMAS Math scored?
Each grade gets a scale score (650-850) and a performance level: Beginning Learner, Developing Learner, Proficient Learner, or Distinguished Learner. Georgia targets Proficient or above as the grade-level expectation. The scale score also feeds into the school’s accountability report.
How long is the 6th Grade GMAS Math test?
Each of the two sections has a 75-minute time limit. Most grade 6 students finish each section well within the time. Total testing time is about 2.5 hours, usually scheduled across two separate days during the spring testing window.
What topics are on the 6th Grade GMAS Math?
Ratios and proportional relationships, the number system (dividing fractions, working with integers, decimals), expressions and equations (one-variable equations, inequalities), geometry (area, surface area, volume of right prisms), and statistics and probability (mean, median, mean absolute deviation, box plots).
Can my student retake the GMAS Math?
The Georgia Milestones EOG is given once per year. There’s no individual retake within the year — students take the next grade’s EOG the following spring. Absences during the testing window can be made up on a state-approved make-up day.
How long should we prepare for the 6th Grade GMAS Math?
If your student has solid weekly math grades, 4-5 weeks of practice (20-25 minutes a day) is usually plenty. If math has been shaky, plan 8-10 weeks at 30 minutes per day. Take this practice test first so you can focus on the topics that need the most work.
Is the GMAS aligned to Common Core?
Georgia adopted the Common Core in 2010, then revised and renamed the standards as the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) in 2015. The grade 6 math content still aligns closely with CCSS 6.RP, 6.NS, 6.EE, 6.G, and 6.SP, with some Georgia-specific wording.
What’s a good GMAS Grade 6 Math study plan?
Week 1: take this practice test and review every wrong answer. Weeks 2-4: drill the weakest topic with daily 20-minute focused sessions. Week 5: take a full-length practice test under timed conditions. Final week: light review and rest the night before testing.
Where can I find more 6th Grade Georgia Milestones practice?
EffortlessMath has lessons for every grade 6 GSE math standard, plus the Georgia Milestones grade 6 workbook and a bundle with multiple full-length grade 6 GMAS practice tests.
