Year 9 QLD Academies Mathematics questions test algebraic fluency, geometric reasoning, and data analysis at a level that reflects the academic rigor of the programs students are applying to enter. The competition at this entry level is significant — applicants have typically already demonstrated strong academic performance at school. Skillo's QLD Academies-style maths practice is free, no signup required, and gives your child the rigorous problem-solving practice the entry test requires.

Try a sample Mathematics question
Question 1 — Easy
Zac is playing a maths game. His score is -6 points. He loses another 5 points. What is his new score?
Answer: -6 - 5 = -11 because losing more points from a negative score moves further into negative territory. -1 results from subtracting the wrong way (5 - 6). 1 and 11 both ignore or mishandle the negative signs.
Question 2 — Medium
A probability experiment involves rolling a standard six-sided die and flipping a fair coin simultaneously. What is the probability of getting an even number on the die AND tails on the coin?
Answer: P(even) = 3/6 = 1/2. P(tails) = 1/2. P(both) = 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4.
Question 3 — Easy
Tom is painting a triangular mural on a wall. The triangle has a base of 14 m and a height of 6 m. Use the formula for the area of a triangle to find its area.
Answer: The area of a triangle is A = ½ × base × height = ½ × 14 × 6 = 42 m². Option A forgets the ½ and gives base × height. Option C adds the base and height. Option D uses an incorrect calculation of ½ × base × height with a different height.
How should my child prepare for Year 9 QLD Academies Mathematics?
- ✓Track which question types your child struggles with; spend extra time there rather than practising strengths.
- ✓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.
- ✓Check explanations after every wrong answer, not just the ones your child asks about — patterns in mistakes reveal the concepts that need work.
