Basic Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Calculation League app features three types of questions.
(1) Multioperation questions —> these questions simply involve an almost random arrangement of operations and integers.
(2) Standard questions —> addition/subtraction, multiplication, division, and square roots.
(3) Complex/custom questions —> thousands of custom/complex formats covering a large variety of mental calculation categories.
The types of complex/custom categories can be seen by choosing blitz mode and number of questions and then using the custom drop-down menu. MCWC categories refer to surprise tasks used at the Mental Calculation World Cup.
