M83-025B Specific Strategies u u u Mathematics Example 6 Example 8 R 3 cm The length of the border between the S United States and Canada is approximately Thus: A __ 1 2 (4)(3 6) __ 1 2 (4)(9) 18 sq cm G. 8 H. 12 2.5 10 6 meters. What is this length in 4 cm 5 cm kilometers? A. 250 km B. 2,500 km Q T C. 25,000 km 6 cm D. 2,500,000 km What is the area of trapezoid QRST? E. 2,500,000,000 km A. 2 sq cm In Example 8, start by converting 2.5 10 6 from B. 18 sq cm scientific notation to standard form: C. 24 sq cm D. 72 sq cm 2.5 10 6 2,500,000 meters E. 360 sq cm To change from meters to kilometers, divide by 1,000: 2,500,000 1,000 2,500 km In Example 6, use the formula for the area of a trapezoid: Area __ 1 2 • height • (sum of the bases) Example 9 From the figure, we know that the height of QRST If the mean of 6, 8, 10, and x is 8, what is x? is 4 cm and that one base is 6 cm, while the other base is 3 cm. F. 4 J. 16 16 Example 7 K. 32 Kendra traveled on a train for 8 hours and 12 minutes at an average speed of 110 kilometers per hour. How far did she travel? F. 120 km G. 170 km H. 891 km J. 892 km K. 902 km In Example 9, set up an equation to calculate the mean and solve for x: _______________ 6 8 10 x 8 4 24 x 32 x 8 In Example 7, first convert 12 minutes into a fraction of an hour and add that to the 8 hours: ___ 12 60 1 __ hour 8 hours 5 So Kendra’s total travel time was 8 __ 1 hours. Multiply 5 her travel time by 110 kilometers per hour to calculate the distance she traveled: 8 __ 1 5 • 110 ___ 41 5 • 110 902 km Taking the Sample Tests Now you are ready to try sample test Form A. Begin by carefully reading the Directions on pages 28 and 29 and filling out side 1 of the Answer Sheet on page 30. For Form A, use side 2 of the Answer Sheet (page 31). When you are ready for Form B, use the Answer Sheet on page 69. You may tear out pages 31 and 69 to make it easier to mark your answers. 27
Gr a d e 8 A Ne w Yo r k Ci t y Pu b l i c Sc h o o l s 2011 Specialized High Schools Ad m i s s i o n s Te s t Ge n e r a l Di r e c t i o n s Identifying Information Turn to Side 1 of the answer sheet. Line 1 says, “I am well enough to take this test and complete it. I understand that once I break the seal of the test booklet, I will not be eligible for a make-up test. I am a New York City resident and a Grade 8 student taking a Grade 8 test. I understand that a student who is not a New York City resident, who takes the test more than once in a given school year, or who takes the test at the wrong grade level will be disqualified from acceptance to any of the specialized high schools.” Sign your name in the space following the word “signature.” Do not print your name. Notify the proctor immediately if you are ill or should not be taking this test. Do not sign the statement or begin the test. Return your answer sheet to the proctor. On Line 2, print the name and borough of the school where you are now enrolled. On Line 3, print today’s date, using the numbers of the month, the day, and the year. On Line 4, print your birth date with the number of the month first, then the number of the day, then the last two digits of the year. For example, a birth date of March 1, 1997, would be 3-1-97. In Grid 5, print the letters of your first name, or as many as will fit, in the boxes. Write your name exactly as you did on the application. If you have a middle initial, print it in the box labeled “MI.” Then print your last name, or as much as will fit, in the boxes provided. Below each box, fill in the circle that contains the same letter as the box. If there is a space in your name, or a hyphen, fill in the circle under the appropriate blank or hyphen. Make dark marks that completely fill the circles. If you change a mark, be sure to erase the first mark completely. Grid 6 is for your choice of specialized high schools. If Grid 6 is not marked correctly, your admission to a specialized high school will be affected because your admission is based on the score you attain and the order in which you rank your school preferences. Therefore, carefully copy the order in which you ranked the schools on your admission ticket onto Grid 6. Fill in one and only one circle for each school for which you wish to be considered. You may make as few as one or as many as eight choices. To increase your chances of being assigned to one of the specialized high schools, you are encouraged to make more than one choice. You must fill in a first choice school. Do not fill in a school more than once. Do not fill in the same school for each choice. Fill in only one circle in a row and only one circle in a column. In Grid 7, fill in the circle that identifies your sex. Grid 8 is labeled “TEST BOOKLET LETTER AND NUMBER.” In the boxes, copy the letter and numbers shown in the upper-right corner of your test booklet. Below each box, fill in the circle containing the same letter or number as the box. For Grid 9: 1. Print the name of the school where you are now enrolled in the space at the top of the grid. 2. In the boxes marked “SCHOOL CODE,” print the six-digit code that identifies your school and fill in the circle under the corresponding number or letter for each digit of the school code. (You can find your school code on your admission ticket. If it is not there, you or the proctor should look in the Feeder School List under the borough in which your school is located to find the code for your school.) 3. If you attend a private or parochial school, fill in the circle marked “P”. 4. Under “BOROUGH OF SCHOOL,” fill in the circle for the borough in which your school is located. 5. Under “TYPE OF SCHOOL,” fill in the circle next to “NYC Public” if you attend a public school; fill in the circle next to “Private or Parochial” if you attend a private or parochial school. DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO TURN YOUR BOOKLET OVER TO THE BACK COVER 28
