The NBT Mathematics test gives you 60 questions in three hours with no calculator. This book teaches every topic it draws on, from factorising to differentiation, and explains not only the right answer but why each wrong option is tempting.

The digital SAT Math section is two modules of 27 questions, with a graphing calculator allowed on every one. This book covers every skill College Board publishes, and teaches the calculator as a skill in its own right.
It includes two complete papers in the real module shape, scored against the official conversion table.

The enhanced ACT replaced the old paper in 2025: 45 questions in 50 minutes, with four answer choices instead of five. Most ACT material still in circulation is for the test that no longer exists.
The ACT also gives you no formula sheet, so one chapter is nothing but the formulas you must know, each with the reason it is true.
Open the bookThe DBE's papers, cut out and gathered into one booklet per topic — so you can finish the calculus before you start the trigonometry, instead of jumping between them the way a whole paper makes you. For the IEB, whose papers cannot be reproduced, practice generated to the same measured shape.

The NSC papers written by every public school and most independent ones. One booklet per topic, each with the official DBE marking guideline for every question in it, and each in both languages. The pages are clips of the original papers — nothing has been retyped or redrawn.

The IEB sets its own papers and they belong to it, so none of them is here. What is here is practice built to the same shape: 282 past IEB questions were labelled by topic, paper, section and mark value, and that measurement decides which topics appear, what each is worth, and how the 150 marks split between Section A and Section B. Every answer was produced by one method and checked by a different one before the page was written.
Open the IEB practiceAlgebra, in all three books. Equations, inequalities, systems, exponents and factorising, which every one of these tests leans on. The SAT book adds the graphing calculator it allows you; the NBT book adds the arithmetic it does not; the ACT book adds the formulas it will not give you.
Functions, geometry and trigonometry. Straight lines, parabolas, exponential growth, transformations, circles, similarity and the right-triangle ratios. All three tests lean on these, in different proportions, and each book follows its own.
Data and the rest. Averages, spread, probability and reading a study honestly. The NBT book goes on to compound interest, annuities, sequences and calculus; the SAT book goes to margins of error and the questions with no options at all; the ACT book to number and quantity, and a chapter of nothing but the formulas you must know.

The NBT allows no calculator, so arithmetic speed is worth real marks. Drill addition through cube roots and percentages, set your own number ranges, and race a timer if you want the pressure.

The OMPT is the placement test set by more than forty universities in the Netherlands, Belgium and Scandinavia — the route in for applicants without a Dutch mathematics qualification. Pick your level — A to G — and you get that syllabus and nothing else, one sheet per chapter, and you choose how long each sheet is.
Practise for the OMPTNBT results affect university admission and placement, and commercial preparation courses are expensive. These books took months to write and every answer in them is checked by machine before each release, but they cost you nothing.
The site is paid for by a small number of ads. They are kept off the practice screens and out of the way of the reading, because a study site that fights you is a study site you stop using.
