      Elementary and junior high tests in UIL chart order

      UIL publishes a problem sequencing chart for each A+ level. It splits the 80 problems into four groups of 20 and lists the problem types that may start in each group. A type can show up later than its group, never earlier. These tests follow the chart revised for 2026-27, so multiplying by 11 or rounding comes early and repeating decimals or probability come near the end.

      Every problem is built from its answer: the numbers are picked so the trick works, then the answer is worked out exactly with fractions, never rounded. The problem shapes are modelled on UIL's released A+ tests, so 52 × 11, 99 × 98 and 83 1/3% as a common fraction all look familiar.

      What a test looks like

      1. (8) 69 × 11 =
      2. *(20) 821 × 147 =
      3. (52) 8⅓ × 10⅓ = (mixed number)
      From elementary test FRSH2. Answers: 759; any whole number from 114653 to 126721; 86 1/9. A student who answers 1 to 40, skips 12 and misses 25 scores 38 × 5 − 2 × 4 = 182.

      Questions

      How is UIL number sense scored?

      Each right answer is worth 5 points. Each wrong or skipped problem costs 4 points, but only up to the last problem you wrote an answer for. Problems after that don't count. An erased or crossed-out answer counts as wrong. 80 right answers make a perfect 400.

      What are the starred problems?

      Every tenth problem is starred. You estimate it, and any whole number within 5% of the exact answer is right. The key prints the range, such as 114653–126721 for 821 × 147. A decimal or fraction on a starred problem is marked wrong.

      Do fractions have to be in lowest terms?

      Yes. Improper fractions are fine, and so is a decimal when the answer ends, so 3/2, 1 1/2 and 1.5 are all right. When the problem asks for a mixed number or a common fraction, use that form. Leave off leading and trailing zeros: .16, not 0.16. Money goes to the cent: 2.00.

      Which grades take A+ number sense?

      Grades 4 to 8, in two test levels: elementary for grades 4-6 and junior high for grades 7-8. Districts can run a division per grade or combine grades, but each level uses its own test.

      Can I use these tests for TMSCA or PSIA practice?

      For the skills, yes: the shortcuts and the estimation carry over. TMSCA and PSIA write their own tests and set their own rules, so check theirs. Every test here follows the UIL A+ chart and is marked with the UIL rule.

      How do I give each student a different version?

      Under Print, pick how many versions you want. Each version has new numbers in the same problem order, and the keys print after the tests. Copy the class link to share the same set: it always opens the same test code and versions.

      Is there a high school version?

      No. This site is for A+ only, grades 4 to 8. Free trainers for the high school contest already exist, such as Project Sense, Monkey Sense and NS Practice, all listed in UIL's 2026-27 number sense test comments.
