SECTION A: Spend 15 minutes on this section

Read this passage carefully, then answer the questions that follow. The passage below describes Will Parry’s strange

observation on an Oxford road.

He came to a large traffic circle where the road going north crossed the Oxford ring road going east and west.

At this time of night there was very little traffic, and the road where he stood was quiet, with comfortable

houses set back behind a wide expanse of grass on either side. Planted along the grass at the road's edge were

two lines of hornbeam trees, odd-looking things with perfectly symmetrical close-leafed crowns, more like

children's drawings than like real trees. The streetlights made the scene look artificial, like a stage set. Will was

stupefied with exhaustion, and he might have gone on to the north, or he might have laid his head on the grass

under one of those trees and slept; but as he stood trying to clear his head, he saw a cat.

She was a tabby, like Moxie. She padded out of a garden on the Oxford side of the road, where Will was

standing. Will put down his tote bag and held out his hand, and the cat came up to rub her head against his

knuckles, just as Moxie did. Of course, every cat behaved like that, but all the same Will felt such a longing for

home that tears scalded his eyes.

Eventually the cat turned away. This was night, and there was a territory to patrol, there were mice to hunt.

She padded across the road and toward the bushes just beyond the hornbeam trees, and there she stopped.

Will, still watching, saw the cat behave curiously.

She reached out a paw to pat something in the air in front of her, something quite invisible to Will. Then she

leaped backward, back arched and fur on end, tail held out stiffly. Will knew cat behaviour. He watched more

alertly as the cat approached the spot again, just an empty patch of grass between the hornbeams and the

bushes of a garden hedge, and patted the air once more.

Again she leaped back, but less far and with less alarm this time. After another few seconds of sniffing,

touching, and whisker twitching, curiosity overcame wariness.

The cat stepped forward and vanished.

Will blinked. Then he stood still, close to the trunk of the nearest tree, as a truck came around the circle and

swept its lights over him. When it had gone past, he crossed the road, keeping his eyes on the spot where the

cat had been investigating. It wasn't easy, because there was nothing to fix on, but when he came to the place

and cast about to look closely, he saw it.

At least, he saw it from some angles. It looked as if someone had cut a patch out of the air, about two yards

from the edge of the road, a patch roughly square in shape and less than a yard across. If you were level with

the patch so that it was edge-on, it was nearly invisible, and it was completely invisible from behind. You could

see it only from the side nearest the road, and you couldn't see it easily even from there, because all you could

see through it was exactly the same kind of thing that lay in front of it on this side: a patch of grass lit by a

streetlight.

But Will knew without the slightest doubt that that patch of grass on the other side was in a different world.

He couldn't possibly have said why. He knew it at once, as strongly as he knew that fire burned and kindness

was good. He was looking at something profoundly alien.

And for that reason alone, it enticed him to stoop and look further. What he saw made his head swim and his

heart thump harder, but he didn't hesitate: he pushed his tote bag through, and then scrambled through

himself, through the hole in the fabric of this world and into another.

The Big Question: Is time travel possible, and is there any

chance that it will ever take place?

By Steve Connor, Science Editor

Friday, 8 February 2008

Why are we asking this now?

Two Russian mathematicians have suggested that the giant atom-smasher being built at the European centre

for nuclear research, Cern, near Geneva, could create the conditions where it might be possible to travel

backwards or forwards in time. In essence, Irina Aref'eva and Igor Volovich believe that the Large Hadron

Collider at Cern, which is due to be switched on this year for the first time, might create tiny "wormholes" in

space which could allow some form of limited time travel.

If true, this would mark the first time in human history that a time machine has been created. If travelling back

in time is possible at all, it should in theory be only possible to travel back to the point when the first time

machine was created and so this would mean that time travellers from the future would be able to visit us. As

an article in this week's New Scientist suggests, this year – 2008 – could become "year zero" for time travel.

Is this really a serious proposition?

The New Scientist article points out that there are many practical problems and theoretical paradoxes to time

travel. "Nevertheless, the slim possibility remains that we will see visitors from the future in the next year,"

says the magazine says, rather provocatively.

It has to be said that few scientists accept the idea that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will create the

conditions thought to be necessary for time travel. The LHC is designed to probe the mysterious forces that

exist at the level of sub-atomic particles, and as such will answer many important questions, such as the true

nature of gravity. It is not designed as a time machine.

In any case, if the LHC became a time machine by accident, the device would exist only at the sub-atomic level

so we are not talking about a machine like Dr Who's Tardis, which is able to carry people forwards and

backwards from the future.

What do the experts say about the idea of time travel?

The theoretical possibility is widely debated, but everyone agrees that the practical problems are so immense

that it is, in all likelihood, never going to happen. Brian Cox, a Cern researcher at the University of

Manchester, points out that even if the laws of physics do not prohibit time travel, that doesn't mean to say it's

going to happen, certainly in terms of travelling back in time.

"Saying that the laws of physics as we know them permit travel into the past is the same as saying that, to

paraphrase Bertrand Russell, they permit a teapot to be in orbit around Venus," Dr Cox says. It's possible, but

not likely.

"Time travel into the future is absolutely possible, in fact time passes at a different rate in orbit than it does on

the ground, and this has to be taken into consideration in order for satellite navigation systems to work. But

time travel into the past, although technically allowed in Einstein's theory, will in the opinion of most physicists

be ruled out when, and if, we develop a better understanding of the fundamental laws of physics – and that's

what the LHC is all about."

Read the extract below and then answer the multiple-choice

questions that follow:

‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ Harper Lee

Scout Finch lives with her brother, Jem, and their widowed father, Atticus, in the sleepy

Alabama town of Maycomb. One summer, Jem and Scout befriend a boy named Dill, who

has come to live in their neighborhood for the summer, and the trio acts out stories

together. Eventually, Dill becomes fascinated with the spooky house on their street

called the Radley Place.

The Radley Place fascinated Dill. In spite of our warnings and explanations it drew him as the

moon draws water, but drew him no nearer than the light-pole on the corner, a safe distance

from the Radley gate. There he would stand, his arm around the fat pole, staring and

wondering.

The Radley Place jutted into a sharp curve beyond our house. Walking south, one faced its

porch; the sidewalk turned and ran beside the lot. The house was low, was once white with a

deep front porch and green shutters, but had long ago darkened to the color of the slate-gray

yard around it. Rain-rotted shingles drooped over the eaves of the veranda; oak trees kept the

sun away. The remains of a picket drunkenly guarded the front yard- a "swept" yard that was

never swept-where johnson grass and rabbit-tobacco grew in abundance.

Inside the house lived a malevolent phantom. People said he existed, but Jem and I had never

seen him. People said he went out at night when the moon was down, and peeped in windows.

When people's azaleas froze in a cold snap, it was because he had breathed on them. Any

stealthy small crimes committed in Maycomb were his work. Once the town was terrorized by a

series of morbid nocturnal events: people's chickens and household pets were found mutilated;

although the culprit was Crazy Addie, who eventually drowned himself in Barker's Eddy, people

still looked at the Radley Place, unwilling to discard their initial suspicions. A Negro would not

pass the Radley Place at night, he would cut across to the sidewalk opposite and whistle as he

walked. The Maycomb school grounds adjoined the back of the Radley lot; from the Radley

chickenyard tall pecan trees shook their fruit into the schoolyard, but the nuts lay untouched by

the children: Radley pecans would kill you. A baseball hit into the Radley yard was a lost ball

and no questions asked.

"Wonder what he looks like?" said Dill.

Jem gave a reasonable description of Boo: Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from

his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were

bloodstained- if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was a long

jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes

popped, and he drooled most of the time.

"Let's try to make him come out," said Dill. "I'd like to see what he looks like."

Circle the letter of the correct answer:

1. Where would Dill stand to look at the Radley house?

A. On the porch

Read the extract below and then answer the multiple-choice questions that

follow:

‘War of the Worlds’ H.G Wells

Early one morning, the residents of Surrey are disturbed by a strange cylinder falling

from the atmosphere. Many people witness the ‘falling star’, but one man called Ogilvy

decides to investigate further.

CHAPTER TWO: THE FALLING STAR

Then came the night of the first falling star. It was seen early in the morning, rushing over Winchester

eastward, a line of flame high in the atmosphere. Hundreds must have seen it, and taken it for an

ordinary falling star. Albin described it as leaving a greenish streak behind it that glowed for some

seconds. Denning, our greatest authority on meteorites, stated that the height of its first appearance

was about ninety or one hundred miles. It seemed to him that it fell to earth about one hundred miles

east of him.

I was at home at that hour and writing in my study; and although my French windows face towards

Ottershaw and the blind was up (for I loved in those days to look up at the night sky), I saw nothing of

it. Yet this strangest of all things that ever came to earth from outer space must have fallen while I was

sitting there, visible to me had I only looked up as it passed. Some of those who saw its flight say it

travelled with a hissing sound. I myself heard nothing of that. Many people in Berkshire, Surrey, and

Middlesex must have seen the fall of it, and, at most, have thought that another meteorite had

descended. No one seems to have troubled to look for the fallen mass that night.

But very early in the morning poor Ogilvy, who had seen the shooting star and who was persuaded

that a meteorite lay somewhere on the common between Horsell, Ottershaw, and Woking, rose early

with the idea of finding it. Find it he did, soon after dawn, and not far from the sand pits. An enormous

hole had been made by the impact of the projectile, and the sand and gravel had been flung violently

in every direction over the heath, forming heaps visible a mile and a half away. The heather was on

fire eastward, and a thin blue smoke rose against the dawn.

The Thing itself lay almost entirely buried in sand, amidst the scattered splinters of a fir tree it had

shivered to fragments in its descent. The uncovered part had the appearance of a huge cylinder,

caked over and its outline softened by a thick scaly dun-coloured incrustation. It had a diameter of

about thirty yards. He approached the mass, surprised at the size and more so at the shape, since

most meteorites are rounded more or less completely. It was, however, still so hot from its flight

through the air as to forbid his near approach. A stirring noise within its cylinder he ascribed to the

unequal cooling of its surface; for at that time it had not occurred to him that it might be hollow.

DHSB/CLJ June 2018

He remained standing at the edge of the pit that the Thing had made for itself, staring at its strange

appearance, astonished chiefly at its unusual shape and colour, and dimly perceiving even then some

evidence of design in its arrival. The early morning was wonderfully still, and the sun, just clearing the

pine trees towards Weybridge, was already warm. He did not remember hearing any birds that

morning, there was certainly no breeze stirring, and the only sounds were the faint movements from

within the cindery cylinder. He was all alone on the common.

Then suddenly he noticed with a start that some of the grey clinker, the ashy incrustation that covered

the meteorite, was falling off the circular edge of the end. It was dropping off in flakes and raining

down upon the sand. A large piece suddenly came off and fell with a sharp noise that brought his

heart into his mouth.

For a minute he scarcely realised what this meant, and, although the heat was excessive, he

clambered down into the pit close to the bulk to see the Thing more clearly. He fancied even then that

the cooling of the body might account for this, but what disturbed that idea was the fact that the ash

was falling only from the end of the cylinder.

And then he perceived that, very slowly, the circular top of the cylinder was rotating on its body. It was

such a gradual movement that he discovered it only through noticing that a black mark that had been

near him five minutes ago was now at the other side of the circumference. Even then he scarcely

understood what this indicated, until he heard a muffled grating sound and saw the black mark jerk

forward an inch or so. Then the thing came upon him in a flash. The cylinder was artificial--hollow--

with an end that screwed out! Something within the cylinder was unscrewing the top!

Read the extract below and then answer the multiple-choice questions that follow:

‘Anne of Green Gables’ by Lucy Maud Montgomery

When he reached Bright River there was no sign of any train; he thought he was too early,

so he tied his horse in the yard of the small Bright River hotel and went over to the station

house. The long platform was almost deserted; the only living creature in sight being a girl

who was sitting on a pile of shingles 1at the extreme end. Matthew, barely noting that it was

a girl, sidled past her as quickly as possible without looking at her. Had he looked he could

hardly have failed to notice the tense rigidity and expectation of her attitude and expression.

She was sitting there waiting for something or somebody and, since sitting and waiting was

the only thing to do just then, she sat and waited with all her might and main.

Matthew encountered the stationmaster locking up the ticket office preparatory to going

home for supper, and asked him if the five-thirty train would soon be along.

“The five-thirty train has been in and gone half an hour ago,” answered that brisk official.

“But there was a passenger dropped off for you—a little girl. She’s sitting out there on the

shingles. I asked her to go into the ladies’ waiting room, but she informed me gravely 2that

she preferred to stay outside. ‘There was more scope for imagination,’ she said. She’s a

case, I should say.”

“I’m not expecting a girl,” said Matthew blankly. “It’s a boy I’ve come for. He should be

here. Mrs. Alexander Spencer was to bring him over from Nova Scotia for me.”

The stationmaster whistled.

“Guess there’s some mistake,” he said. “Mrs. Spencer came off the train with that girl and

gave her into my charge3. Said you and your sister were adopting her from an orphan

asylum and that you would be along for her presently. That’s all I know about it—and I

haven’t got any more orphans concealed hereabouts.”

“I don’t understand,” said Matthew helplessly, wishing that Marilla was at hand to cope

with the situation.

“Well, you’d better question the girl,” said the station-master carelessly. “I dare say she’ll

be able to explain—she’s got a tongue of her own, that’s certain. Maybe they were out of

boys of the brand you wanted.”

He walked jauntily away, being hungry, and the unfortunate Matthew was left to do that

which was harder for him than bearding a lion in its den—walk up to a girl—a strange girl—

an orphan girl—and demand of her why she wasn’t a boy. Matthew groaned in spirit as he

turned about and shuffled gently down the platform towards her.

She had been watching him ever since he had passed her and she had her eyes on him

now. Matthew was not looking at her and would not have seen what she was really like if he

had been, but an ordinary observer would have seen this: A child of about eleven, garbed in

1 Shingles - rectangular wooden tiles used on walls or roofs

2 Gravely - in a serious way

3 Charge - responsibility

DHSB/JN May 2019

a very short, very tight, very ugly dress of yellowish-gray wincey4. She wore a faded brown

sailor hat and beneath the hat, extending down her back, were two braids of very thick,

decidedly red hair. Her face was small, white and thin, also much freckled; her mouth was

large and so were her eyes, which looked green in some lights and moods and gray in

others.

“I suppose you are Mr. Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables?” she said in a peculiarly clear,

sweet voice. “I’m very glad to see you. I was beginning to be afraid you weren’t coming for

me and I was imagining all the things that might have happened to prevent you. I had made

up my mind that if you didn’t come for me to-night I’d go down the track to that big wild

cherry-tree at the bend, and climb up into it to stay all night. I wouldn’t be a bit afraid, and it

would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry-tree all white with bloom in the moonshine, don’t

you think? You could imagine you were dwelling in marble halls, couldn’t you? And I was

quite sure you would come for me in the morning, if you didn’t to-night.”

Matthew had taken the scrawny 5little hand awkwardly in his; then and there he decided

what to do. He could not tell this child with the glowing eyes that there had been a mistake;

he would take her home and let Marilla do that. She couldn’t be left at Bright River anyhow,

no matter what mistake had been made, so all questions and explanations might as well be

deferred until he was safely back at Green Gables.

“I’m sorry I was late,” he said shyly. “Come along. The horse is over in the yard. Give me

your bag.”

“Oh, I can carry it,” the child responded cheerfully. “It isn’t heavy. I’ve got all my worldly

goods in it, but it isn’t heavy. And if it isn’t carried in just a certain way the handle pulls out—

so I’d better keep it because I know the exact knack of it. It’s an extremely old carpet-bag.

Oh, I’m very glad you’ve come, even if it would have been nice to sleep in a wild cherry-tree.

We’ve got to drive a long piece, haven’t we? Mrs. Spencer said it was eight miles. I’m glad

because I love driving. Oh, it seems so wonderful that I’m going to live with you and belong

to you. I’ve never belonged to anybody—not really. But the asylum was the worst. I’ve only

been in it four months, but that was enough. I don’t suppose you ever were an orphan in an

asylum, so you can’t possibly understand what it is like. It’s worse than anything you could

imagine. Mrs. Spencer said it was wicked of me to talk like that, but I didn’t mean to be

wicked. It’s so easy to be wicked without knowing it, isn’t it? They were good, you know—the

asylum people. But there is so little scope for the imagination in an asylum—only just in the

other orphans. It was pretty interesting to imagine things about them—to imagine that

perhaps the girl who sat next to you was really the daughter of a belted earl, who had been

stolen away from her parents in her infancy by a cruel nurse who died before she could

confess. I used to lie awake at nights and imagine things like that, because I didn’t have time

in the day. I guess that’s why I’m so thin—I am dreadful thin, ain’t I? There isn’t a pick 6on

my bones. I do love to imagine I’m nice and plump, with dimples in my elbows.”

With this Matthew’s companion stopped talking, partly because she was out of breath and

partly because they had reached the buggy.

4 Wincey - a strong fabric, probably wool or cotton

5 Scrawny - very thin and bony

36 D 37 E 38 B 39 B 40 C 41 A 42 C 43 B

Notes

1 B £76.30-£18.45. Write out as sum or take the 0.45 first giving £75.85 then take the £18 giving

£57.85

2 C 65-30=35

3 C 36 x 14. Use written multiplication method to get 504

4 E Box plus 3 boxes makes 4 boxes, so 4 boxes equal 36 meaning box must be 9

5 A 248 /12 give 20 remainder 8 meaning 21 buses are needed

6 A There are 6 angles like x on the outside and they total 360 so each one must be 60

7 B 10 pupils like Red so there are certainly more than 10 students in the class

8 E Mode is the one which appears most often in the list

9 C The 5 is in the hundreds column

10 B If one fifth of a number is 8 then the number must be 5 x 8 = 40; therefore 1/10 of the

number is 4

11 A 855-143=712, 712-143=569, 569-143=426, 426-143=283, 283-143=140 so 5 times.

Alternatively could guess 5 and use 5x143=715 and work from there

12 C 14 to -13 is a drop of 27; check with -13 to -40; also 27

13 A Split into 2 rectangles; 6x5 and 7x4 or 12x4 and 2x5. Or large rectangle 12 x 6 take small

rectangle 7 x 2

14 B 500g is 50x10g so sugar is 50x6g = 300g

15 D A 1ine of symmetry; B 3 lines of symmetry; C1 line of symmetry; D 2 lines of symmetry; E 0

lines of symmetry

16 D 17+9 = 26

17 A Converting all to mm 420, 400, 147, 351, 330 so A is largest

18 A 951 to 828 is a drop of 123, 705-123 = 582; 582-123=459

19 B Has to be in the Dark haired circle and in the wears glasses circle but not in the blue-eyed

circle

20 E Needs to be a volume unit, a litre is too big so millilitres is appropriate

21 A 180 – 137 = 43

22 E Brackets first 6.2+1.05=7.25, then 7.25x4=29 (can double and double again for x4)

23 C 11x38=418p £10-£4.18=5.82

24 C 12/60 = 1/5

25 B 21 not a multiple of 2; 42 works; 40, 36 & 44 not multiples of 7

26 A Left side 8x7-11=45. Right side 6x4+?=24+? So ?=21 to make sides equal

27 C Digits in size order 9987

28 A 24x60=1440; 1440x60=86 400

29 B 1/7 of 84 = 84/7=12; so 5/7 of 84 is 5x12=60

30 D 05:43 -> 06:00 is 17minutes. 06:00 ->18:00 is 12h=720minutes; 18:00->18:05 is 5 minutes

Total 17+720+5=742minutes

31 C Six boys mean 5 means total = 6 x 5 = 30. 3+7+6+2+3=21 so last boy must be 9

32 A 9 is not a prime number and so is in the wrong place

33 E 10% of 45,000 is 4500. 5% will be 2250 so 15% is 6750. 45000-6750=£38,250

34 D 22.82/5=4.564 so nearest 4.565 short division

35 B 100 = 8 +12t; so 92=12t; t=7 remainder 8 so 7 tickets. Alternatively use trial and

improvement

36 D £11.04/48 = £0.23

37 E Total number of cards with one D taken = 1+2+4+3+3+2=15. Probability of C is then 4/15

38 B 12 hours in the day so each hour the hour hand moves through 360/12=30; in 1.5h it will

rotate through 45

39 B 28/35 = 4/5 (divide top and bottom by 7). Cancelling down 40/50 also gives 4/5

40 C Could find 10%=115 and 1%=11.5 then 8% =115-2x11.5=92

41 A 450mg=0.45g; 90x0.45=40.5g so jar weighs 165.5g-40.5g=125g

42 C p22 represents half the pages in the book so 44 total

43 B Step up of 0.9. from 1st to 50th there are 49 steps so 49 x 0.9 + 1.15 =45.25

Notes

1 A £156.20-15.65. Write out as sum or take the 0.65 first giving £155.55 then take the £15 giving

£140.55

2 D 14-7=7

3 B 24 x 16. Use written multiplication method to get 384

4 B Box plus 2 boxes makes 3 boxes, so 3 boxes equal 27 meaning box must be 9

5 E 300 /14 give 21 remainder 6 meaning 22 buses are needed

6 C Outside angles 60 so inside 120. Or sum is 720 so each is 720/6

7 A It is 7 more

8 D Mode is the one which appears most often in the list

9 B The 6 is in the tens column

10 B If one quarter of a number is 5 then the number must be 4 x5 = 20; therefore 1/10 of the

number is 2

11 C Use repeated subtraction so 7 times. Alternatively could guess 7 and use 7x137=959 and

work from there

12 E -14 to -33 is a drop of 19; check with -33 to -52; also 19

13 C Split into 2 rectangles; 2x11 and 2x6 or 6x4 and 5x2. Or large rectangle 11 x 6 take small

rectangle 5 x 2

14 E 500g is 60x10g so sugar is 60x5.5g = 330g

DHSB/SPC June 2017

15 E A 1ine of symmetry; B 3 lines of symmetry; C1 line of symmetry; D 2 lines of symmetry; E 0

lines of symmetry

16 C 23+35 = 58


18 B 991 to 864 is a drop of 127, 737-127 = 610; 610-127=483

19 A Has to be in the Dark haired circle and in the Blue-eyed circle


21 D 180 – 49 = 131

22 B Brackets first 4.1+1.07=5.17, then 5.17x8=41.36 (can double, double and double again for

x8)

23 D 11x27=297p £5-£2.97=£2.03

24 C 5/60 = 1/12

25 B 21 not a multiple of 2; 84 works; 40, 36 & 44 not multiples of 7


27 E Digits in size order 9870

28 C 12x60=720; 720x60=43 200

29 C 1/7 of 63 = 63/7=9; so 3/7 of 63 is 3x9=27

30 E 05:34 -> 06:00 is 26minutes. 06:00 ->21:00 is 15h=900minutes; 21:00->21:15 is 15 minutes

Total 26+900+15=941minutes

31 D Six boys mean 5 means total = 6 x 5 = 30. 4+5+6+6+3=24 so last boy must be 6

32 A 1 is not a prime number and so is in the wrong place

33 B 10% of 50,000 is 5000. 30% will be 15000. 5% will be 2500 so 35% is 17500. 50000-

17500=£32,500


35 B 100 = 6 +12t; so 94=12t; t=7 remainder 10 so 7 tickets. Alternatively use trial and

improvement

36 E £7.92/36 = £0.22

37 B Total number of cards with one D taken = 1+2+4+4+2+2=15. Probability of F is then 2/15

DHSB/SPC June 2017

38 C 12 hours in the day so each hour the hour hand moves through 360/12=30; in 5.5h it will

rotate through 165


40 A Could find 10%=145 and 1%=14.5 then 6% =145-4x14.5=87

41 E 450mg=0.45g; 120x0.45=54g so jar weighs 180.5g-54g=126.5g

42 B p34 represents half the pages in the book so 68 total

43 C Step up of 0.95. from 1st to 50th there are 49 steps so 49 x 0.95 + 1.15 =47.7

Notes

1 B 1120 - 652 = 468

2 E 4.30pm = 16.30

3 B Centre is at (5,2)

4 A Box plus 5 boxes makes 6 boxes, so 6 boxes equal 42 meaning box must be 7

5 A 6 x 88 = 528

6 B A has 4, C, D, E have 1. Only B has 2

7 D 1/5 = 0.2 = 20% so 2/5 = 0.4 = 40%

8 D 22-15 = 7

9 D 323.27 put numbers in correct columns

10 C 1kg = 1000g so 3.7kg = 3700g

11 A 66482000 - 8780000 =

12 D 1270-147 = 1123, 1123-147=976, 976-147=829, 829-147=682, 682-147=535, 535-147=388, 388-147=241, 241-147=94

13 D 24 to -4 is gap of -24

14 C 6x24=144. So side 12

15 E Prime factors of 99 are 3 and 11

16 E ¼ of £4.48= £1.12. 3x£1.12 = E

17 B Converting all to mm 157, 520, 451, 430, 500 so B is largest

18 B 94 -> 283, 283-> 850

19 D Median middle when in order -6,-5,-2,-1,4 which is Thursday

20 C 6851 / 31

21 A Digits in size order

22 B Largest – smallest = 11 – 5 = 6

23 A millilitres

24 D 36+22=58, 180-58=122

25 B 43.4+1.02 first then x by 4

26 A Easiest to do 240/8 first then x5

27 E 1hour is 1/24 of a day so a quarter hour is 1/96

28 E Ones ending 5 not multiple of 2. 60 not multiple of 7.

29 D Left side 17 – Right side 10 leaves 7

30 E 60x60

31 B 7 Green / 15 total so 7/15

32 A 6h25mins = 360+25mins

33 C Total must be 6x9=54. Leaves 24 for last number

34 E Primes are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17

35 D 10%=£30 so 15%=£45 making total £345

36 E Only shape no equal sides and only 1 parallel pair

37 B 5x0.45=£2.25 so 35p saving

38 E Red is 5 out of total 25. So 1/5 of circle which is 72 degrees

39 B 250mgx90 = 22500mg=22,5g 160-22.5=137.5

40 B 30degrees between each hour. At 7.30 one hour plus hour hand moved on half an hour so

45

41 A 42/63 can divide top and bottom by 7 then 3. Or by 21 directly.

42 D 10% of 1100 is 110 and 1% of 1100 is 11 so 24% is 264

43 C 186/360 x 180 = 186 / 2 = 93

44 C 15 squared is 225

45 D Gap is 0.18. 49 gaps to get to 50th. So 49x0.18=8.82. 50th will be 1.23+8.82

Notes

1 C £176.10-14.75. Write out as sum or take the 0.75 first giving £175.35 then take the £14 giving

£161.35

2 A 14-8 = 6

3 E 12 x 16. Use written multiplication method to get 192

4 C Box plus 4 boxes makes 5 boxes, so 5 boxes equal 40 meaning box must be 8

5 C 300 /16 give 18 remainder 12 meaning 19 buses are needed

6 C Outside angles 60 so inside 120. Or sum is 720 so each is 720/6

7 A It is 7 more

8 B Mode is the one which appears most often in the list

9 B The 2 is in the tenths column

10 B If one fifth of a number is 6 then the number must be 5 x6 = 30; therefore 1/2 of the number

is 15

11 E Use repeated subtraction so 10 times. Or spot 10x117 and check 11x117

12 A -14 to -31 is a drop of 17; check with -31 to -48; also 17

13 B Split into 2 rectangles; 2x9 and 2x4 or 4x4 and 5x2. Or large rectangle 9 x 4 take small

rectangle 5 x 2

14 C 600g is 60x10g so sugar is 60x5.5g = 330g

15 B A 1ine of symmetry; B 3 lines of symmetry; C1 line of symmetry; D 2 lines of symmetry; E 0

lines of symmetry

16 C 17 + 9 = 26


18 C 991 to 864 is a drop of 77, 717-77 = 640; 640-77=563

19 D Has to not be in the Dark haired circle and in the Blue-eyed circle and wear glasses circle


21 C 180 – 89 = 91

22 C Brackets first 4.1+1.07=5.17, then 5.17x6=31.02 (can double then triple for x6)

23 B 13x23=299p £5-£2.99=£2.01

24 C 4/60 = 1/15

25 C 124, 144, not a multiple of 11; 2311, 123 odd; 132 works


27 C Digits in size order 9760

28 A 12x60=720; 720x60=43 200; 2x 43 200 = 86 400

29 B 1/9 of 63 = 63/9=7; so 5/9 of 63 is 5x7=35

30 C 05:37 -> 06:00 is 23minutes. 06:00 ->21:00 is 15h=900minutes; 21:00->21:10 is 10 minutes

Total 23+900+10=933 minutes

31 B Six boys mean 5 means total = 6 x 5 = 30. 4+5+6+7+4=26 so last boy must be 4

32 D 1 is not a prime number and so is in the wrong place

33 D 10% of 50,000 is 5000. 5% will be 2500 so 15% is 7500. 50000-7500=£42 500


35 B 50 = 6 +10t; so 50-6=10t; t=4 remainder 4 so 4 tickets. Alternatively use trial and

improvement

36 C £7.92/36 = £0.22

37 B Total number of cards with one D taken = 1+2+4+4+2+2=15. Probability of F is then

3/15=1/5

38 B 12 hours in the day so each hour the hour hand moves through 360/12=30; in 8.5h it will

rotate through 255


40 A Could find 10%=145 and 1%=14.5 then 6% =145-4x14.5=87

41 C 450mg=0.45g; 120x0.45=54g so jar weighs 180.5g-54g=126.5g

42 C p28 represents half the pages in the book so 56 total

43 E Step up of 0.95. from 1st to 100th there are 99 steps so 99 x 0.95 + 1.15 =95.2
