Pre-Algebra Practice Exam Semester One
Remember! Take a deep breath and relax while you go through the problems
Do not assume on the exam that if the answer is there it is automatically correct, check your work.
Don’t forget PEMDAS
Watch those darn negative signs!
The procedure has not changed just because the problem is in the form of a story problem. Create
an equation by breaking the problem into the bits and pieces.
For that matter, the procedure hasn’t changed just because I use a fraction in an algebraic
expression. I still multiply through and I still isolate the variable.
Use the Glencoe Online Resources for practice in taking multiple choice tests. Log on to
http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0078885159/ and click on the Chapter Tests and Self-Check
Quizzes. Personal Tutor and Vocabulary Review are also great helps.
When reviewing problems from the textbook, the Hotmath Homework Help link found in the
Glencoe Online Resources is another great help. Here you will find step-by-step solutions, with
hints, to ALL odd-numbered problems in the text.
