How Practice Arena Works
A 6-step journey from drill selection to progress tracking.
Select Your Drill
Pick an operation that matches your goal – core arithmetic, BODMAS, percentages, or DI.
Configure Settings
Adjust digits, number of terms, and ranges to match your current proficiency level.
Choose Mode & Timer
Switch between Manual or MCQ and pick Stopwatch or Countdown to shape each session.
Practice Interface
Focus on a distraction-free question view with numpad support, smart skip, and pause control.
Analysis & Review
View score, accuracy and a question-wise breakdown to understand exactly where you missed.
Track Progress & Streaks
Use dashboard stats, streaks and upcoming badges to monitor consistency and growth over time.
Pro Tips for Mastery
Simple habits that turn daily drills into long–term math mastery.
Prioritize Manual Mode
While MCQs feel faster, manual entry removes guessing and forces real calculation, which builds deeper and more reliable number sense over time.
Use Targeted Ranges
For memory drills like squares and cubes, lock the "Range" (for example 41–50) and master one block at a time instead of jumping across the full table.
Accuracy Before Speed
Stay on Stopwatch until you can hit consistent 100% accuracy, then move to countdown timers to pressure‑test your speed without building bad habits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Select a drill type from the module grid (e.g. Addition, Multiplication, BODMAS), configure the difficulty settings like number of digits, terms, and time limit, then click Start Practice. Your session begins immediately.
In MCQ mode, four answer options are shown and you click or press the matching key (1–4) to select. In Manual mode, you type the answer directly and press Enter to submit. Manual mode is harder and builds deeper recall speed.
Yes. If you leave or close the page mid-session, your progress is saved automatically. When you return to the Practice Arena, a Resume card will appear at the top showing how many questions you completed and the time remaining. Click Continue to pick up exactly where you left off.
During a drill you can use: Enter to submit your answer, Tab to skip the current question, and P to pause or resume the session. In MCQ mode, press 1–4 to instantly select an option without clicking.
Yes, every completed session is saved to your account, including your score, accuracy, average time per question, and streak. You can review past performance in your dashboard. Maintaining a daily streak encourages consistent practice.
For SSC CGL, prioritise Multiplication, BODMAS, Squares, and Square Roots — these operations appear directly in the algebra and arithmetic sections. For IBPS PO, focus on Percentages, DI Addition, and Division, which are critical for Data Interpretation sets. Mix Mode is useful for both exams as it simulates the mixed question pattern of the actual paper.
In bank exams like IBPS PO, SBI Clerk, and RRB PO, DI sets frequently ask you to find column totals or row sums from a table — under time pressure with 5–6 terms per question. SpeedMath's DI Addition drill simulates this exactly: it presents multi-row column data and asks for the total. Consistent practice builds the rapid addition fluency needed to answer these questions in 15–20 seconds.
Start by studying the Fraction to Percent table in the Learn section — knowing that 1/6 ≈ 16.67% or 3/8 = 37.5% instantly eliminates the need for long division. Then practice the Percentages drill (fraction-of-percent) in Manual mode for deeper recall. Within two weeks of daily 10-minute sessions, most users halve their average time per percentage question.
Quality and consistency matter more than volume. Aim for 20–30 questions daily across 2–3 drill types, at a difficulty level that challenges you (80–90% accuracy target). This takes about 10–15 minutes. Practising at the boundary of your comfort zone with immediate feedback — rather than doing 100 easy questions — is what drives measurable speed improvement in 2–4 weeks.
