Linear Inequalities: Solving, Graphing, and the One Sign-Flip Rule

Inequalities solve like equations — except for one twist. Multiply or divide by a negative and the inequality sign flips. Master that single rule and you'll solve every CBE inequality on autopilot.

Álgebra 1 CBE — Common Questions

How hard is the Algebra 1 Credit by Exam?

The Algebra 1 CBE matches the rigor of a year-long Algebra 1 course. Expect linear and quadratic functions, systems of equations, exponential models, and data analysis. With consistent TEKS-aligned practice, most students who score 85%+ on our mock exams pass on their first attempt.

What topics are on the Algebra 1 CBE?

The Algebra 1 CBE covers all six TEKS reporting categories: Number and Algebraic Methods; Describing and Graphing Linear Functions; Writing and Solving Linear Functions; Quadratic Functions and Equations; Exponential Functions and Equations; and Number and Algebraic Methods (data). Both Semester A and Semester B exams sample across these standards.

How long is the Algebra 1 CBE?

The official Algebra 1 CBE through UT High School runs about 3 hours with around 50–57 multiple-choice and grid-in items. Our mock exams use the same length and timing so your practice mirrors test-day conditions exactly.

What is the passing score for Algebra 1 CBE?

You need 70% to earn the credit. Because the exam covers a full year of material, scoring above 80% on practice mocks gives you a comfortable margin against test-day variance.

Do I need a calculator for the Algebra 1 CBE?

Yes — the Algebra 1 CBE allows a graphing calculator (typically TI-84 or equivalent). Our practice questions match this format, so you can rehearse using the same tools you'll have on exam day.

How is Texas CBE™ different from a Khan Academy review?

Khan Academy teaches Algebra 1 broadly. Texas CBE™ is built specifically around the TEKS standards the CBE actually tests, in the same multiple-choice format, with full-length mock exams scored at the 70% threshold. We focus your prep where it counts for credit.

I'm not in Texas — does Algebra 1 prep here still apply?

Yes. The Algebra 1 skills our practice drills — linear and quadratic functions, systems, exponentials, polynomials — are the same content taught in every state's Algebra 1 course. Our questions are TEKS-aligned by origin but the math is universal. Students in 9 U.S. states and 5 countries currently use the platform. For NY Regents Algebra I specifically see our prep guide; for NJGPA (NJ), B.E.S.T. (FL), SOL (VA), EOC (OH), LEAP (LA), and CA we publish state-by-state guides.
