Mental Math Test – Timed Speed Test With Typed Answers

Q: Is there a basic math speed test?

Yes. In the Drill menu under More options, choose Level 1 test, within 20 for sums and differences within 20 with the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Four more tests there keep to one operation each.

How it works

This mental math test opens on Level 2: two-digit sums and differences, tables to 12 and division facts, mixed for two minutes. The result is correct answers a minute, accuracy and the questions you missed.

How the test runs

Press Start, or type the first answer and the clock starts. An answer is checked when its last digit goes in, with no Enter. A wrong one shows the right answer for a second. The Drill menu and the run lengths of 1, 2 and 5 minutes are under More options; each pair keeps its own best.

From easy facts to hard mental math questions

Level 1 stays within 20, with the 2, 5 and 10 tables. Level 3 moves to three digits. Level 4 mixes two digits times two digits, squares to 30 and percentages. The list of drills lower on the page gives every range.

Questions and answers

How many questions are in the mental math test?

As many as you answer before the clock stops. Questions are made in your browser from each level's number ranges, so no two runs are alike and there is no fixed count.

Is this a mental math quiz or a test?

Both names fit: mixed questions, a clock and one score. There is no passing score and no ranking. A result is set only beside your own best on the same test and run length.

Is there a basic math speed test?

Yes. In the Drill menu under More options, choose Level 1 test, within 20 for sums and differences within 20 with the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Four more tests there keep to one operation each.

Which level is a hard mental math quiz?

Level 4: two digits times two digits, four-digit sums, squares from 11 to 30, division by 11 to 25 and percentages of round numbers. Level 3 is the step before it.

What is a good score on a mental math speed test?

This page gives no average and no grade, because it has no honest way to. The number to beat is your own best on the same test and run length; accuracy shows what the speed cost. To work on one skill, use mental math practice.

The parts of each test 16

Differences within 20 Level 1. A number from 1 to 10 taken from a number from 10 to 20: 18 − 7 is 11.
Differences, 10 to 99 Level 2. Both numbers from 10 to 99, the larger one first, so an answer can be 0: 74 − 36 is 38.
Differences, 100 to 999 Level 3. Both numbers from 100 to 999, the larger one first: 702 − 356 is 346.
Percentages of multiples of 40 Level 4. 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 or 75 percent of a multiple of 40 up to 2,000: 75% of 640 is 480.
Products, 3 × 3 to 12 × 12 Level 2. Both numbers from 3 to 12, answers from 9 to 144: 12 × 11 is 132.
Products, 11 to 99 by 11 to 99 Level 4. Both numbers from 11 to 99, answers from 121 to 9,801: 34 × 21 is 680 + 34 = 714.
Products, 12 to 99 by 2 to 9 Level 3. A number from 12 to 99 times 2 to 9, answers from 24 to 891: 74 × 8 is 560 + 32 = 592.

How this list was compiled: Tests and notes written for this page in October 2026. Each test is a mix of the drills listed under "The parts of each test". Questions are generated in the browser from the number ranges stored with each drill and every answer is computed at that moment, so an answer key cannot be wrong; every answer is a whole number of zero or more. The ranges and the example in each note were checked by calculation on 2 October 2026. The page prints no average, grade or norm, because it has no measured one. Licence: own work
