Instructions for Number Sense

Visit our Exam Content Information page to learn about the basic format and content of the Number Sense exam.

There is a 5-minute trial quiz which includes exam instructions and a handful of questions to practice the online input method for answers. There is also a full-length Number Sense practice exam that students can take prior to contest day. This is an actual exam from a previous year.

On contest day, students begin with the same 5-minute trial quiz (to make sure that all students have seen it before the exam), followed by the real Number Sense contest. The length of the Number Sense contest is being changed from 30 minutes to 20 minutes this year to better mirror the UIL exam on which it is based. The practice exam time limit is therefore being changed to 20 minutes as well.

To access the 5-minute trial quiz, the full-length practice exam, or the real contest exam:
Visit your Courseware account, click on the Courses tab, select your Number Sense course, select the Online Assignments tab, and then select the trial quiz, practice exam, or contest exam. (The full-length practice exam is available until midnight Central Time on the day before the contest, and the real contest is only available at the time stated in the schedule on our contest website.)
