Summary

This book has been designed for use by New Jersey students in school, at home, or for tutorial or remedial sessions. It reviews the math skills and applications they need to master before taking the required statewide GEPA exam either in eighth grade or in a ninth-grade remedial program. Employing both multiple-choice and open-ended questions, the GEPA exam tests students' math skills in four areas: Number sense, concepts, and applications Spatial sense and geometry Data analysis, probability, statistics, and discrete mathematics Patterns, functions, and algebra This brand-new manual's extensive practice and review chapters cover all four test areas. It also presents test-taking strategies, a cluster test at the end of each chapter, and two full-length practice tests with solutions to all problems.
