TS ICET key terms

A question type where you must decide whether the given statements provide enough information to answer the question, without actually solving it. Options typically test if one, both, or neither statement suffices.

The process of finding a solution to a quantitative or logical puzzle by applying mathematical operations, logical deduction, or pattern recognition to reach a single correct answer.

A sequence of numbers, letters, or symbols arranged according to a specific rule. The task is to identify the pattern and find the missing or next term.

A reasoning topic where words or phrases are replaced by codes using a consistent rule. You must decipher the rule to encode or decode new words.

Problems that describe familial relationships among people, often using a chain of statements. You must determine how two individuals are related based on the given information.

Puzzles where people are arranged in a line or around a table based on clues about their positions relative to each other. The goal is to determine the complete arrangement.

A form of logical reasoning where conclusions are drawn from two or more given statements (premises). You must determine which conclusions logically follow, regardless of real-world truth.

Problems involving the calculation of angles between clock hands, time gained or lost, and determining the day of the week for a given date using odd days and leap year rules.

Problems based on a large cube painted on all faces and cut into smaller cubes. You must find the number of smaller cubes with a certain number of painted faces.

The set of rules and properties governing integers, fractions, decimals, and their operations, including divisibility, remainders, factors, and multiples.

A ratio compares two quantities by division. A proportion states that two ratios are equal. These concepts are used to solve problems involving sharing, mixing, and scaling.

A way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. Used to compare quantities, calculate increases or decreases, and solve problems in profit, loss, and interest.

Business calculations determining gain or loss by comparing cost price and selling price. Includes concepts like marked price, discount, and profit percentage.

Interest calculated only on the original principal for the entire period, using the formula SI = (P × R × T)/100, where P is principal, R is rate, and T is time.

Interest calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. The formula is A = P(1 + R/100)^T, where A is the final amount.

Problems involving the relationship between work done, time taken, and rate of work, or between distance, speed, and time. Includes pipes and cisterns, relative speed, and trains.

The sum of a set of quantities divided by the number of quantities. Used to find a representative value and solve problems involving weighted averages and changes in averages.

A sequence of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant. Formulas for the nth term and sum of n terms are used to solve related problems.

A sequence where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed non-zero number called the common ratio. Used in growth and decay problems.

Combinations of variables, constants, and arithmetic operations. Key skills include simplification, factorization, and solving linear and quadratic equations.

The branch of geometry dealing with the measurement of lengths, areas, and volumes of geometric figures such as triangles, circles, cylinders, cones, and spheres.

The study of geometry using a coordinate system. Includes finding distance between points, midpoint, slope of a line, and equations of lines and circles.

The study of relationships between angles and side lengths of triangles, focusing on trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) and their applications to heights and distances.

Statistical measures that describe the center of a data set: mean (average), median (middle value), and mode (most frequent value). Each has different properties and uses.

The spread or variability of data around the central value. Common measures include range, variance, and standard deviation. A low dispersion means data points are close together.

The process of analyzing and drawing conclusions from data presented in tables, graphs, charts, or diagrams. Requires reading values accurately and performing calculations.

A word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word in the same language. For example, 'happy' and 'joyful' are synonyms.

A word that has the opposite meaning of another word. For example, 'hot' and 'cold' are antonyms.

A phrase whose meaning cannot be understood from the literal meanings of its individual words. For example, 'break the ice' means to initiate conversation.

A group of words that functions as a single unit in a sentence but does not contain both a subject and a verb. Examples include prepositional phrases and noun phrases.

A question type where a sentence is given with one or more parts underlined. You must choose the option that best replaces the underlined part, improving grammar or clarity.

A question type where a sentence has one or more blanks, and you must select the word or phrase that best completes it, based on grammar, vocabulary, or context.

The ability to read a passage and understand its main idea, details, inferences, and tone. Questions test your ability to interpret and analyze written information.

A question type where sentences are given in jumbled order. You must rearrange them to form a coherent paragraph, identifying the logical sequence and connections.

The quality of a paragraph where all sentences are logically connected and flow smoothly, with a clear main idea and supporting details arranged in a sensible order.
