Prepare for this practice
Clock and calendar questions become easier when you replace the picture or date with numbers. Learn the movement rates of clock hands and use seven-day cycles to track weekdays.
Review Clocks and calendars before starting →Ideas to recall
- A full clock face is 360 degrees, with 30 degrees between consecutive hour marks.
- The minute hand moves 6 degrees per minute and the hour hand moves 0.5 degrees per minute.
- Weekdays repeat in a seven-day cycle, so only the remainder after division by seven changes the weekday.
- Gregorian leap years are divisible by 4, except century years must also be divisible by 400.
Use these ideas to reason through each question; answer-specific explanations appear only after you check a response.
