Why this question type matters on the HSAT
The HSAT Math section has 30 questions in 30 minutes — about a minute each. There is no calculator, so mental-math fluency matters as much as conceptual knowledge.
Algebra covers linear equations, inequalities, systems, and functions. Distribute carefully, watch the signs, and plug answer choices in when stuck.
Other topics
Topics are aligned to 8th-grade Common Core standards. The actual CPS HSAT covers slightly more than these buckets but the core mix is the same.
