Duration, am/pm and Time Conversions
Read the quick preparation notes, then start when you are ready.
SkillrHub quiz practice is built for curriculum-aligned revision with answer feedback and a clear review path.
Quick preparation
- State the starting and finishing times, including am or pm and the day. Count forward in useful jumps through the next hour, noon or midnight.
- Use 60 seconds = 1 minute and 60 minutes = 1 hour. Use groups of 60 when converting between these units, not groups of 100.
- When planning a timetable, include activities, rests and waiting time. Convert fractions of an hour using 60 minutes as the whole.
SkillrHub Test guide
Each attempt draws five questions from the full bank. Repeat an attempt to meet more questions and use the feedback to improve.
- Worked example: From 11:40 pm on Monday to 12:15 am on Tuesday, count 20 minutes to midnight, then 15 minutes: 35 minutes. To convert 2 minutes 35 seconds, calculate 2 × 60 + 35 = 155 seconds.
- Common mistake: 12 noon is 12 pm; midnight is 12 am and starts a new day. Do not treat 1 hour 30 minutes as 130 minutes: it is 60 + 30 = 90 minutes.
- Materials and practical tasks: Have paper and a pencil ready for timelines and schedules. Written planning tasks need all activity times and any rests; an adult checks your completed work before awarding credit.
- Review: Add the duration back to the start and check that you reach the stated finish on the correct day. Check conversions with groups of 60.
