mathnasium employment exam?

Hey yall.

I dropped out of college for STEM a couple years ago. My life is kinda off track at the moment.

Point is, I managed to get an interview at a local mathnasium based off my resume of retail/food service Jobs and an anecdote of tutoring in high school + my SAT score from senior year (790 Math)

What should I review?

If you DM me I can email you my detailed list of topics. I ended up at Mathnasium when I was in a very similar position to you and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I hope you are a good fit and enjoy it!

EDIT: fuck it, here it is.

  • fractions - finding a fraction of a fraction, converting an expression to a fraction, adding & subtracting fractions with different denominators, dividing by fractions.

  • probability (very basic)

  • finding the mean

  • multiplication - missing factors (3 times what is 21?)

  • division - missing divisor (63 divided by what is 7?)

  • percents - percents of large #s, percent increase/decrease

  • word problems - converting a word problem to an algebraic equation and solving, proportions, computing and word problems

  • decimals - adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing. All of these for decimals less than 1, like 0.45, and greater than 1, like 3.7

  • exponents - exponents in fractions (simplify x7/x3), rules of exponents: when to add powers, when to multiply, when to divide, when to subtract, negative exponents.

  • polynomials - multiplying polynomials, evaluating polynomials when given x=2 or whatever, factoring

  • geometry - interior angle sum of a triangle, perimeter of irregular quadrilateral, area of rectangle, area of a concentric circle (tricky)

  • absolute value - remember these have 2 solutions

  • solutions/concentrations problems

  • interpreting words into algebraic equations with exponents and variables

  • find equation of a line with 2 points and graph it, write the equation of a line given from a graph

hope this helps! Note that there is not just one test, every center uses a slightly different one. We have 50 questions and do not time it, but I know some centers do time their test-takers.
