✍️ Sample TACHS Questions & Answers

1. A shirt originally costs $40 and is on sale for 25% off. What is the sale price?

✓ $30

25% of $40 = $10 discount, so the sale price is $40 − $10 = $30.

2. In a TACHS reading passage, the 'main idea' of a paragraph is best described as:

✓ The central point the paragraph is making

The main idea is the central point or message that the entire paragraph supports.

3. Calculate the value of x. x/4 + 12 = 22

✓ 40

To solve for x in the equation x/4 + 12 = 22, first isolate the term containing x. Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation: x/4 = 22 - 12, which simplifies to x/4 = 10. Next, to find x, multiply both sides of the equation by 4. This yields x = 10 * 4, so x = 40.

4. Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?

✓ Each of the students has a pencil.

'Each' is always singular, so it takes the singular verb 'has,' not the plural 'have.'

5. Ruby works as a science lab assistant at $12.50 per hour. How many 40-hour work weeks will she have to put in to cover the cost of a $3000 car?

✓ 6

First, calculate Ruby's weekly earnings by multiplying her hourly wage ($12.50) by the 40 hours she works per week, which totals $500 per week. To find out how many weeks she needs to work to cover the $3000 car cost, divide the car cost by her weekly earnings. This calculation is $3000 / $500 = 6 weeks.

6. When taking the TACHS, which time management strategy is most effective?

✓ Move steadily through questions and return to skipped ones if time remains

Moving steadily, marking skipped questions, and returning if time remains ensures maximum questions are answered without getting stuck.
