    Great info! NOTE: I just took the online proctored version and I would NOT recommend it for the CBEST math subtest. You cannot use scratch paper, only a text box to take notes; no drawing. The online reading and writing should be fine, but trying to do all of these problems can be super frustrating and wastes so much time. Good luck!

    careful with questions similar to #24. He got lucky in getting 110, he added wrong. He said H=10 L+15 and he got 25. When he had to add H=5 L=15 and get 40. That 10% was not a distraction. total was 100 then add the 10%. That makes it 110inches needed of tape.

    WARNING!
    If you are taking the Onvue test at your home, workplace, etc. The test is not similar to this practice test (the one that is given as the practice test on the CBEST website). You are also NOT allowed to use scratch paper. Instead you use their "notebook" which can be compared to using the most basic form of Microsoft Word. It changes the way you figure problems completely! If possible, go to a testing center. Unless you feel that you are very comfortable with math and can do a lot of calculations in your head, then the Onvue test may work for you?

      @@atoshaz.553 you’ll do great! It’s honestly not that bad. The practice tests are very similar to what you’ll see on the real one. I don’t recommend wasting your money on other resources/books. For me, I just took this practice a ton of times until I was able to get all the questions right without referencing the video. I believe you can miss 15 questions and pass. Other tips I have is that if you’re stuck on a problem that’s going to take awhile skip it and come back to it later. Double check all your answers and triple check if you have extra time. You’ll do great! Good luck :)

      Zak, I agree! The total length of tape for the package was 100" plus the 10% (10) equaled 110". I think he stated 10" for height instead of 5". Adding the 10% needed for overlap is not a distraction in my opinion but part of the overall answer.

    Thank you for solving these problems. Your camera did not show the test clearly so not printing it out was not an option. i really wish you had explained more in terms of your thoughts on how you came up with the answers. For example, #7. I had to really look at that problem to figure out that the "8's" have to figured into the problem lengthwise and width wise. You didn't say that. #24. I can't figure out for the life of someone how you got 25. You mumbled something about 30 minutes. I figured there is 30 minutes from 2:00 but where and how and why the 25?? Then you took the mileage to Caanan and subtracted it from 25 to get 37. WHAT????

      If he is traveling 50 miles per hour but is only half an hour into his trip he has traveled half of the 50 miles he would over an hour which would be 25 miles (50/2). For example sake, if he had driven a full hour at 50 miles per hour he would be 50 miles closer to Caanan which is 62 miles away and therefore we can deduct 50 from 62, but the question asks for half that time so we take 50 MPH his speed and divide by two to get 25 miles travelled in 30 minutes which we can then deduct from 62 to get 37 miles left to reach Caanan.
