What wassce-style objectives — set a means

You practise exam-style core mathematics questions on numbers, indices, sets and equations. This helps you work faster, choose the right method, and avoid careless errors in WASSCE practice.

What you will practise

  • Simplify expressions using index laws
  • Solve linear equations with one unknown
  • Work with basic logarithm values
  • Choose the correct method for short objective items

Before you start

You should be comfortable with simple multiplication, powers, and basic algebraic rearrangement. It also helps if you can read symbols such as brackets, division signs, and logarithms.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Simplify: (2³)² ÷ 2⁴.

  • 2
  • 2²
  • 2³
  • 2⁴
Answer: 2²

Working: (2³)² = 2⁶; 2⁶ ÷ 2⁴ = 2².

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Adding indices instead of multiplying when a power is raised to another power.
  • Dropping a sign or moving a term wrongly when solving an equation.
  • Using log rules without checking the power form of the number first.
  • Rushing objective questions and missing the simplest working step.
