FREE TABE Math Practice Test

Try these 10 free TABE Math practice questions, then check the worked answers below. This is an independent Effortless Math skill-review set, not an official TABE form, a full-length test, or a placement-score predictor. No signup is needed to read the questions and answers.

Before choosing more practice, ask your adult-education program which TABE edition and math level you will take. The publisher now offers TABE 13&14; a resource labeled 11&12 should not be assumed to match the newer forms.

Answers and explanations

2- B
\(180÷20=9\)

3- B
\(x + y = N → x = 6 → 6 + y = N → y = N – 6 → 3y = 3(N – 6)\)

4- C
\(A. \frac{3}{4}=0.75\)
\(B. \frac{2}{5}=0.4\)
\(C. \frac{7}{9}\approx0.778 \)
\(D. \frac{2}{3}\approx0.667\)

5- D
\(3x-5=8.5→3x=8.5+5=13.5→x=\frac{13.5}{3}=4.5\)
Then; \(5x+3=5 (4.5)+3=22.5+3=25.5\)

6- C
First, draw an isosceles triangle. Remember that the two sides of the triangle are equal.
Let put a for the legs. Then:
a = 6 ⇒ area of the triangle is:
\(\frac{1}{2} (6 × 6) = \frac{36}{2}= 18 \space cm^2\)

7- D
To find the discount, multiply the number by (1 minus the discount rate).

Therefore, for the first discount we get: (500)(1 − 0.25) = (500)(0.75)
For the next \(15\%\) discount: (500)(0.75)(0.85)

8- B
Plug in each pair of numbers in the equation: \(3x + 5y = 7\)
\((2,1): 3 (2) + 5 (1) = 11\)
\((–1,2): 3 (–1) + 5 (2) = 7\)
\((–2,2): 3 (–2) + 5 (2) = 4\)
\((2,2): 3 (2) + 5 (2) = 16\)
Choice B is correct.

9- B
\(8ab−5ab=3ab\)

10- D
\(\frac{8}{100}×x=64\)
\(\frac{8x}{100}=64\),
\(x=\frac{6400}{8}=800\)

Turn your answers into a review plan

Work through the questions on paper before reading the solutions. For each mistake, write down whether you misunderstood the situation, chose the wrong operation, or made an arithmetic slip. Review that step, then solve the question again without looking at the explanation.

A total out of 10 describes only this small mixed-skill set. It cannot tell you your official TABE level, scaled score, or eligibility for a class. If several questions feel unfamiliar, begin with the relevant lessons in the TABE Math Online Center rather than repeatedly guessing through the set.

Check your TABE edition and test instructions

Where can I find official TABE 13&14 practice?

The publisher provides official TABE 13&14 sample items for math levels E, M, D, and A. Select the level your program assigns. These samples help you see the item format; they are separate from the independent questions on this page.

How long is TABE 13&14 Math?

The publisher’s maximum testing-time chart lists 40 math items at each of levels E, M, D, and A, with 45 minutes for Part 1 and 15 minutes for Part 2. Confirm your appointment instructions and any approved accommodations with your program.

Can I use a calculator?

Follow the instructions for your assigned edition, level, and test part. Do not assume that calculator access is determined only by whether you take Level A. The publisher’s TABE 13&14 changes describe a Desmos calculator for the online math subtest. Ask your examiner which tools are permitted in each part.

What score do I need, and when can I retest?

Ask the program that will use your results. Its placement requirements and retesting rules matter; a practice percentage or a general grade-equivalent target on a website cannot establish your eligibility. Use your official score report and your instructor’s guidance to choose the next skills to study.

Choose your next resource

Use the TABE Math Online Center to find worksheets, lessons, review tools, and more practice. For a calculation refresher, try our order-of-operations lesson and worksheet. Keep the TABE formula review nearby while studying, and follow your examiner’s rules about reference materials on test day.

Considering a practice book?

The book below is labeled TABE 11&12. Open its product page and sample pages before choosing it, and compare that edition with your program’s requirements. Its title is not evidence of alignment with TABE 13&14.
