Question 1 — Easy
Which number is a factor of 24?
Answer: 8 is a factor of 24 because 24 ÷ 8 = 3 with no remainder. 7, 9, and 11 do not divide evenly into 24, so they are not factors.
Question 2 — Easy
Priya ran 1/2 of a lap around the oval before lunch and 3/4 of a lap after lunch. What is the total distance she ran, in fractions of a lap?
Answer: The denominators are related — 2 is a factor of 4 — so convert 1/2 to the equivalent fraction 2/4. Then add: 2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4. Option A is a common error where students average or incorrectly combine the denominators. Option B results from adding 1+3=4 and keeping the denominator 4, ignoring the need to convert 1/2. Option D results from adding both numerators (1+3=4) and both denominators (2+4=6) incorrectly.
Question 3 — Easy
Which decimal is between 2.3 and 2.4?
Answer: 2.35 sits between 2.3 and 2.4 because it has 3 tenths and 5 hundredths, which is greater than 2.3 and less than 2.4. The other options are either below 2.3 or above 2.4.
How should my child prepare for Year 7 WA Gifted and Talented Numeracy?
- ✓Treat the time limit as a training tool — practise skipping hard questions and returning to them, which is legitimate test strategy.
- ✓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.
- ✓Check explanations after every wrong answer, not just the ones your child asks about — patterns in mistakes reveal the concepts that need work.

What Year 7 maths topics are covered in the WA GATE numeracy section?
The test draws on Australian Curriculum Year 6–7 content — algebra, geometry, statistics, measurement — presented in demanding multi-step formats.
Is time pressure a major factor in the WA GATE numeracy section?
Yes. The combination of complex multi-step problems and strict time limits makes pacing practice an essential part of preparation.
Can students use written working in the WA GATE test?
Yes. Students should use all available scratch space for written working — attempting complex multi-step problems entirely in their head increases error rates significantly.

Yes. Skillo is completely free for all Australian students — no subscription, no credit card, no hidden paywall. No free trial that converts to paid.
