Quarter-Hour Clock Quiz

Four minute-hand positions, twelve hours, forty-eight possible clocks. This quiz drills the four cardinal positions that make up the foundation of clock reading: on the hour, quarter past, half past, and quarter to. Master these and you can confidently read a clock in any social situation.

What You Will Practice

  • o'clock — minute hand at 12
  • Quarter past — minute hand at 3
  • Half past — minute hand at 6
  • Quarter to — minute hand at 9

Challenge Goal

Try to keep your average solve time under 4 seconds. The 'quarter to' position (minute hand at 9) is the one most people find hardest — watch your time on those clocks specifically.
