Reading Questions Carefully

Don’t Miss the Details!

Careful reading is crucial on the HSPT Math section. Pay attention to units, key words, and exactly what the question is asking.

  • Underline important details (like 'not' or 'except')
  • Watch out for tricky wording
  • Double-check that your answer matches the question

By reading carefully, you avoid simple mistakes and ensure you’re solving the right problem.

Examples

  • Notice when a question asks for the 'least' or 'greatest' value.

  • Underline numbers and units to keep track of what you’re calculating.
