Study Strategies
## 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.
