ACCUPLACER Math Practice Test: 20 Free QAS Questions With Answers

ACCUPLACER math is three different tests, and your college decides which ones you take. This set covers Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics (QAS), with no time limit and new questions every time.

Checked October 20, 2026 against College Board.

These are GED-style questions, picked to match the ten areas of the QAS test. They aren’t real ACCUPLACER questions, and the set gives no ACCUPLACER score.

What math is on the ACCUPLACER?

Three different tests, each with 20 multiple-choice questions. Your college decides which ones you take, so ask before you study.

The three ACCUPLACER math tests: what each covers and whether this set covers it
TestWhat it coversIn this set?
ArithmeticWhole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, comparing numbersNo
Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics (QAS)Rational numbers, ratios, exponents, expressions, linear equations and graphs, probability and sets, statistics, geometryYes, all ten areas
Advanced Algebra and Functions (AAF)Linear equations, factoring, quadratics, functions, radical and rational equations, polynomials, exponents and logarithms, geometry, trigonometryNo
Source: What’s on the tests

Arithmetic on your list? Our fractions, decimals and percents set covers its fraction and percent questions, though none of its plain whole-number and decimal arithmetic. For the rest, use College Board’s Arithmetic sample questions.

AAF on your list? It goes well past GED math, into logarithms, trigonometry and Algebra 2 geometry. Start with College Board’s AAF sample questions, which explain each answer.

The QAS test, area by area

College Board’s test specifications give each QAS area a range of questions, and mark the numbers as not final. This set picks a number inside each range.

The ten QAS areas: the official range of questions and the number in this set
AreaOfficial range (of 20)In this set
Rational numbers1 to 32
Ratio and proportional relationships3 to 43
Exponents2 to 32
Algebraic expressions2 to 32
Linear equations2 to 42
Linear applications and graphs2 to 43
Probability and sets1 to 32
Descriptive statistics1 to 32
Geometry concepts for Pre-Algebra1 to 21
Geometry concepts for Algebra 11 to 21

The catch? A few skills inside those areas have no questions here: set notation, histograms, box plots and scatterplots, fractional exponents and radicals, parallel and perpendicular lines, the distance formula, and transformations.

How to prepare for ACCUPLACER math

College Board doesn’t rank ways to study, but it gives you free tools. Here’s how to use them:

  1. Ask your college which tests you’ll take. Each college chooses.
  2. Try the official sample questions for those tests, linked below.
  3. Take College Board’s free practice tests. You register on its practice site first.
  4. Practice your weak spots. For QAS, use the set at the top of this page as many times as you like. Every start gives you new questions.

ACCUPLACER math vs GED math

On the GED, 145 passes. ACCUPLACER has no passing score. It’s scored from 200 to 300, and your college decides which course each score puts you in (program manual).

QAS lines up closely with GED math, so practice for one helps with the other. The other big difference is the calculator. The GED gives you one for most of the test, and ACCUPLACER only for some questions.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ACCUPLACER math test hard?

College Board doesn’t rate how hard it is. What it does say: the test is adaptive, so the questions get harder or easier as you answer, and there’s usually no time limit. There’s no passing score either. Your college sets the scores that place you in each course, and you can retake the test under its rules.
