About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Age and time word problems often look simple, then hide key details in the wording. This quiz helps you turn statements into equations, ratios, and timelines without getting lost.

You’ll work through ages “now vs. in X years,” comparisons like “twice as old,” and time scenarios involving rates, clocks, and elapsed time. Every question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on method over speed.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many mistakes come from mixing up “years ago” vs. “years from now,” or applying the same change to both sides of an age comparison incorrectly. Time problems also trip people up with unit conversions (minutes to hours) and confusing start/end times.

Define variables clearly (e.g., A = current age) before calculating
Keep a simple timeline for past/future age statements
Convert units early (hours/minutes/days) and stay consistent
Check whether the problem asks for a time duration or a clock time
Verify your answer by plugging it back into the story

Difficulty and question settings

Difficulty is mixed: you’ll see straightforward one-step questions alongside multi-step puzzles that require setting up two equations or combining age and time logic. The variety keeps practice balanced and prevents memorizing one pattern.

Before you start, choose how many questions you want to attempt and select a difficulty level that matches your goal—quick revision, steady practice, or a tougher challenge. Since there’s no timer, you can increase difficulty and still take your time to reason carefully.
