Question 1Easy

What is the value of 2³?

A) 6
B) 9
C) 8
D) 5

Answer: 2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8. Option A gives 2×3=6 (multiplies instead of using index notation), B gives 3²=9 (reverses base and exponent), and D gives 2+3=5.

Question 2Medium

For the function f(x) = x² + 3x + 1, find f(−2).

A) 3
B) −3
C) 5
D) −1

Answer: f(−2) = (−2)² + 3(−2) + 1 = 4 − 6 + 1 = −1.

Question 3Easy

What is the result of (−6) × (−4)?

A) −24
B) 24
C) −10
D) 10

Answer: The product of two negative numbers is positive: (−6) × (−4) = +24.

How should my child prepare for Year 8 AAS Mathematics?

  • Treat the time limit as a training tool — practise skipping hard questions and returning to them, which is legitimate test strategy.
  • Mix sections so the brain learns to switch modes — the real test cycles between question types rapidly.
  • Track which question types your child struggles with; spend extra time there rather than practising strengths.
  • Aim for 10–15 minutes a day rather than long weekend sessions — consistency builds recall better than cramming.
