Is 10 a good mental math score?
A 10 mental math score falls into the Below Average band — slower than the majority of test-takers.

Against the standard benchmarks, your 10 score is 30 correct past the Elite cutoff (40), 15 correct past the Fast cutoff (25), and 5 correct past the Average cutoff (15). The neighboring indexed buckets are 8 (Below Average) and 15 (Average). Take the Mental Math Test to see how your live performance compares.
