UTS Mathematics chapter frequency table
All 3 Mathematics chapters on the UTS syllabus, heaviest first. The subtopics under each chapter name are the ones it is most often examined on.
| # | Chapter | Est. MCQs | Share of Mathematics | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ArithmeticRatio and Proportion, Percentages, Profit and Loss | 20.5 | 68.3% | Critical |
| 2 | AlgebraSequences and Series, Linear Equations, Quadratic Equations | 5.2 | 17.3% | Important |
| 3 | GeometryArea and Volume, Triangles and Angles | 4.3 | 14.3% | Standard |
How this was worked out: No solved paper we hold examines Mathematics, so nothing here is counted from past papers. The 30 Mathematics MCQs on the UTS paper are spread across the chapters in proportion to how much material each chapter carries in the syllabus. Use it as a study order, not as a prediction, and check the conducting body's own syllabus for the final word.

UTS Mathematics most important topics: frequently asked questions
What are the most important Mathematics topics for UTS 2026?
The highest-value UTS Mathematics chapters are Arithmetic (about 20.5 MCQs), Algebra (about 5.2 MCQs) and Geometry (about 4.3 MCQs). Together they account for 100 percent of the 30 Mathematics MCQs on the UTS paper. The ranking is derived rather than counted from UTS papers; the method is stated in full on this page.
How many Mathematics MCQs are on the UTS paper?
Mathematics is worth 30 MCQs on the UTS paper as set by Universal Testing Service, spread across 3 chapters. This page ranks all 3 of them by how many of those MCQs each chapter is worth.
Are these UTS Mathematics numbers counted from past papers?
No. No solved paper on TestUstad examines Mathematics, so nothing here is a count. The 30 Mathematics MCQs on the UTS paper are spread across the chapters in proportion to how much material each chapter carries in the syllabus. Treat it as a sensible study order and confirm against Universal Testing Service's own syllabus.
Should I skip the low-priority Mathematics chapters for UTS?
No. Every chapter in this table appears on the UTS paper, and UTS is decided by a handful of marks. A chapter marked Standard still costs you the marks you drop on it. Use this ranking to decide the order you study in and how long you spend on each chapter, not to cut chapters out.
Where can I practise these UTS Mathematics chapters?
Every chapter on this page links to its own free Mathematics MCQs on TestUstad, 1,551 questions across the 3 chapters UTS examines. Practice is free and unlimited with no account, and every question carries a written explanation of why the correct option is correct.
