Super TET / State TET Reasoning, Mental Ability and Teaching Aptitude Flashcards
51 question-and-answer cards covering Reasoning, Mental Ability and Teaching Aptitude as it is examined in Super TET / State TET. 24 of them are printed below, taken from across the deck — no signup, no paywall on the preview.
24 sample cards from the Reasoning, Mental Ability and Teaching Aptitude deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What is the formula for simple interest?
SI = (P x R x T) / 100, where P = principal, R = rate of interest per annum, and T = time in years.
What is the compound interest formula for amount compounded annually?
A = P(1 + R/100)^T, where A is the final amount; Compound Interest = A − P.
How do you calculate percentage profit?
Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price) x 100, where Profit = Selling Price − Cost Price. Profit/loss percentage is always calculated on the cost price.
What is the formula relating speed, distance, and time?
Speed = Distance / Time; therefore Distance = Speed x Time and Time = Distance / Speed.
How do you convert a speed from km/hr to m/s?
Multiply by 5/18. (To convert m/s to km/hr, multiply by 18/5.)
What is the formula for the average of n numbers?
Average = (Sum of all observations) / (Number of observations). Conversely, Sum = Average x Number of observations.
What is the LCM and what is the HCF of two numbers, and how do they relate to the numbers' product?
LCM is the smallest common multiple; HCF is the largest common factor. For two numbers, Product of the numbers = HCF x LCM.
In a ratio a:b, how do you find each share when a total quantity T is divided in that ratio?
First share = T x a/(a+b); second share = T x b/(a+b). Divide the total in proportion to the parts of the ratio.
What is Data Interpretation in quantitative reasoning?
The skill of reading, analysing, and drawing conclusions from data presented in tables, bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, or other visual forms, often involving percentages, averages, and ratios.
In a pie chart, how many degrees represent 1% of the total?
3.6 degrees, because the whole circle (100%) equals 360 degrees, so 360/100 = 3.6 degrees per percent.
How do you calculate percentage change between an old value and a new value in data interpretation?
Percentage change = ((New value − Old value) / Old value) x 100. A positive result is an increase; a negative result is a decrease.
In the BODMAS rule, what is the correct order of operations?
Brackets, Of/Orders (powers and roots), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction — performed in that sequence (division and multiplication left to right, then addition and subtraction left to right).
In a coded mathematical-operations problem, if '+' means 'x' and 'x' means '+', what is 6 + 2 x 3?
15. Substitute the symbols: 6 x 2 + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15.
In inequalities, if A > B and B > C, what can you conclude about A and C?
A > C. The relationships form a valid chain (transitivity), so A is definitely greater than C.
In coded inequalities, can a definite conclusion be drawn from A > B and B < C about A and C?
No. The signs point in opposite directions toward B (a 'broken chain'), so the relationship between A and C cannot be determined.
What is the difference between 'maximum learning' (mastery) approaches and the role of teaching skills in the classroom?
Teaching skills are the specific competencies (explaining, questioning, reinforcing, set induction, stimulus variation) a teacher uses to facilitate learning; effective use of these skills helps students reach mastery.
What is 'set induction' as a teaching skill?
The skill of preparing and motivating students at the start of a lesson to make them ready and receptive for new learning, by linking to prior knowledge or creating interest.
What is the purpose of 'reinforcement' as a teaching/classroom-management skill?
To increase the likelihood of desired student behaviour or responses by providing positive reinforcement (praise, rewards, encouragement) or by managing negative behaviour, thereby motivating continued effort.
What are effective strategies for classroom management of student discipline?
Setting clear rules and expectations, being consistent and fair, using positive reinforcement, keeping students engaged with meaningful activities, and addressing misbehaviour calmly and promptly.
What is 'formative assessment' versus 'summative assessment'?
Formative assessment is ongoing, informal evaluation during learning to give feedback and improve teaching/learning; summative assessment is a final evaluation (like an exam) at the end of a unit to measure achievement.
What is Educational Technology?
The systematic application of scientific/technological tools, media, and methods (such as audio-visual aids, computers, projectors, and e-learning) to improve the processes of teaching and learning.
What is the difference between 'hardware approach' and 'software approach' in educational technology?
The hardware approach uses physical machines and equipment (projectors, computers, TV) to aid teaching; the software approach uses psychological principles and programmed instructional materials/techniques to design effective learning, without necessarily using machines.
In basics of information technology, what do the abbreviations CPU, RAM, and ROM stand for?
CPU = Central Processing Unit (the 'brain' that processes instructions); RAM = Random Access Memory (volatile, temporary working memory); ROM = Read Only Memory (non-volatile, permanent storage of essential instructions).
In information technology, what is the difference between hardware and software?
Hardware is the physical, tangible parts of a computer (keyboard, monitor, CPU, mouse); software is the set of programs and instructions (operating system, applications) that tell the hardware what to do.
What this deck covers
The Reasoning, Mental Ability and Teaching Aptitude deck follows the Super TET / State TET Reasoning, Mental Ability and Teaching Aptitude syllabus — 4 chapters and 13 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 12.8 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 152 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
